Topic 1: BILL OF RIGHTS
Self check activity

The establishment of the Bill of Rights marks the recognation and

affirmation of the value of man and the need of his right to be
protected from government and any temporal manipulations and
coercion. In some of the countries like the United States and
Philippines, such bill includes the freedom of expression, way of
invaders, no quartering act, right to security, right to due process,
right to justice, no double jeopardy, no excess bail of fines,
protection of rights and federalism.

Among these rights, one which i must say i got to benefit the most is
the right to association under the freedom of expression. The right
to associate as defined in our class discussion, is one's freedom to
associate with others who share the same views and opinions as his
in different areas like politics, religion, social,physical, economics,
etc.

I am the type of person who would always want to be involved in

civic or any affairs which promote human formation and
development , as i participate in the activities of such
organization. I realize that such formation or development is not
only experienced by those who are helped, but also by the one's who
helped every activity there happens a two way process of
discovering and learning different aspects of reality.

a stable internet for you to join a class if you have a

I have learned that Article Three empowers the courts to.

handle cases or controversies arising under federal law, as

well as other enumerated areas. Article lll vests the judicial

power of the United States in the supreme court, as well as

infavior courts established by congress. The constitution

(1987) is the fundamental law land in the Philippines. It
establishes the structure, policies, roles and duties of the
philippines government. It contains the Bill of Rights

No (article lll) and sets out the states obligations to

promote and uphold social justice and human rights.

to every person in the world, from birth until death. They

apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe
or how choose to live your life.

 MODULE 2
TOPIC 4 : LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR

THE YOUTH

For me the aims is for young people to contribute to their community by

solving problems and exercising their leadership skills. Reflection is a

crucial part of youth leadership which allows young people to look back
on, think critically about, and learn from their experience or action.

Reflection leadership is a way of approaching the work of being a leader

by leading one's life with presence and personal mastery. Learning to be

present , to be aware and attentive to our experience with people
throughout the day is the focus of reflective leadership. Leadership has
the ability to direct and influence others and leadship is about guiding
them to accomplish a common task or objective while encouraging and
helping them troughout the process.

motivation. A servant leader focuses on the people that are directly

below them rather than the company as a whole.

great leaders from average one's. While there are plenty of admirable bosses. There are

only hanful of leaders who are able to infuse energy, passion and connection into their

that guides them in everything they do to make the world a better place.

Nationalism and patriotism

both show the relationship of an individual

towards his or her nation, the two are often confused and fewquently

believed to mean the same thing. However we have lose the sense of

nation hood particularly among youth, it wasn't long time ago when young

people here love to die for their country the evident reasons but the

situation is not so now.

9.) WHY SHOULD NSTP STUDENT'S NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED

ABOUT VOTING FOR GOVERNMENT LEADERS?

In every election, voter and civic education are necessary to ensure that all

constituents men and women alike understand their rights, their political system

the contests they are being asked to decide, and how and where to vote. For an
election to be successful and democtratic, voters must understand their rights and

responsibilities, and most be sufficiently knowledgeable and well informed to cast

ballots that are legally valid and to participate meaningful in the voting process.

Voter and civic education are even more critical in post conflict countries where

political situations may be volatile and where elections may have an uprecedented

impact on the countries future.

10.) WHO ARE CONSIDERED CITIZENS OF THE PHILIPPINES?

Natural born Filipinos are citizens of the philippines from borth without

mother who elect philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of

mijority are considered natural born Filipinos. Philippines citizenship law

derives from the principle of jus samguinis of the citizenship of the

parent's. .. . .
2ND MAJOR ASSESSMENT
Being a citizen of the worlds biggest democracy it is not only our right but a responsiblity to elect
the right set of people to administer the functioning of the country.Only those who perform their

d uty towards the nation have the right to raise their voices against the system.It is our duty to vote
for our representatives.Casting vote is the most effective medium of communicating our grievances
about the system.In recent years, corruption,goondaism and malpractices have grown to a great
extent in all spheres of life.Politics has not remained untouched either.But then people we choose to

run the government one from among us.

In recent years,with growing political corruption, people are being driven away from voting as they term all
politicians the same.People neglect their responsibility which shows their social mind set.People fail to
understand that to run the country they need to elect, relatively good candidate to run the country.
Unfortunately, the trend of not voting is evident mostly in educated class.As against this, the less educated
or the illiterate make it a point to cast vote.But they are also easy prey to bribe by politicians with the
maximum number of illiterate casting vote.There are strong possibilities of tainted and corrupt leaders
being elected to run the country.

It is high time the educated lot realizes that better people when elected can reduced the level of
corruption and malpractices in the system.
So instead, of just putting blame on the system people should come out and vote, exercise their right and express their
views. By casting your vote you would help elect a good body which will be in public interest.
Democracy in our country will be effective only when people will vote wisely.Right to vote is someone's privilege in order to
choose the right leader to lead locally and nationally. This is given to everyone so that they can able to choose someone they
like to pilot the country. Thus, we should be accountable with our vote because this might result to progress or regress of

o r nation.

We should think carefully who the right leader does fit on the position because the decide the fate of the country.The first

time I vote I was just like any other with the mentality of "who will be the next leader is still the same a corrupt

government.I admit that the first time I vote at the age of 18 I accept money from the candidate who ran on a certain
position. The mentality I have during that time is so raw that's why I accept the money or vote buying they say
Throughout the years, I realize that the countries progress is so slow and corruption is still in the government.So if we
want to progress of this county we should not elect someone who will betray the country and its people.
It's so shame that there are politician like that. This coming election I do make sure to do
background check every person who run in the position.I will vote for someone who has the heart
to serve the country.I will not vote for someone who became the government their family business.
A true leader that touches the heart even if the corner of the country not just for someone who
show off in the places where high population are locate.
I am a voter.I hold accountable on my vote and the future of the country lies to our vote.This time I
make sure to choose the right leader to lead the country.A person who's action unite the people and
inspired many. I will vote for a leader that the record is transparent so that we can assure that
corruption is not present during his/her administration. I will vote for someone who favors the
interest of many and always think the best.This coming election we should make it happen.

on behalf of a government department or agency. In other words,
public servant is person who works for the government (Centre,
State, and Local) such as a teacher, IAS officer, police officers,
Judge Etc. to serve the interests of citizens. A public servant is
someone who values public good over his/her personal interests in
his official capacity.

They have to deal with the management of resources that are

publicly owned in a way that enhances public interest. Further,
the individuals carrying out the task are publicly accountable for
their actions. Public interest means allocation of resources in a
way that furthers collective well-being and is consistent with
ethical and constitutional norms, thereby helping individuals
develop fully into citizens. A public servant while performing his
role should exercise certain values like accountability, integrity,
honestycommitment to public service, effective implementation of
policy, leadership, empathy towards the vulnerable sections in
their public dealings.

This needs to be qualified that the actions of a public servant must

generate common good and general welfare and should not be

motivated by sectional or particular interests. There should be a
sense of trusteeship in holders of public office and breach of that
trust of public should be seen as a crime.

political science, one whose significance is just beginning to be understood by
conflict-resolution practitioners. On one level, it is a relatively simple idea, since

 7.) EXPLAIN EACT OF THE ACTS , WHY THEY ARE THEY CONSIDERED CORRUPT

ACTS.
ANTI-GRAFT AND CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT

Section 1. Statement of policy. It is the policy of the Philippine Government, in

line with the principle that a public office is a public trust, to repress certain
acts of public officers and private persons alike which constitute graft or
corrupt practices or which may lead thereto.

A. Persuading, inducing or influencing another public officer to perform an

act constituting a violation of rules and regulations duly promulgated by

competent authority or an offense in connection with the officials duties of

the later, or allowing himself to be persuaded , induced , or influenced to

commit such violation or offense.

It is by his actions that he is deemed a corrupt official by using his status in persuading other
public official and by that he.
mingled with his authority in other branches. It is considered violationon his acts to persuade
and be persuaded by committing an act.

b. Directly or indirectly requesting or receiving gifts, present, share, percentage,

or benefits, for himself or for aND other person, in connection with any
contract or transaction between the government and any other party.

Where in the public officer in his official capacity has to intervene under the law. The power that
every public servant have must not be used for his personal interest but for the interest of all, as we
witness this act, it shows that in this scenario the public servant use his power inappropriately to
gain. social leverage.

c. directly or indirectly requesting any gifts, present or other pecuniary

or material benefit, for himself or for another, from any for whom the
public officer, in any manner or capacity, has secured or obtained, or will
secure or obtained, any government permit or license, in consideration for
the help give or to be given, without prejudice to section thirteen of this
act.

There violation is already circulating in the system of the government with many
corrupt official as goes to securing many accomplice and securing his benefits even
if, found guilty. As bright as day it is a robbery of funds in the government this public
official shows there interest and create a violation.

d. Accepting or having any member of his family accept

employment in a private enterprise which has pending official

business with him during the pendency there of or within one

year after its termination.

It shows that the public official use his power to pressure the business to
compromise in his term to have a contract with the government it shows
that by doing so the family member can gain a backing that will solidify their
position in the company.
 3RD MAJOR ASSESSTMENT
Add a Graft and corruption became normal in our government

nowadays. This was due to the crocodiles on the government who

choose to steal the money form its contituents rather than using it

for purposeful project. Graft and corruption is a very serious offense

that convicted many politician.this is inducing another public

officer to perform an act constituting a violation of rules, or an

offense in connection with official duties. This is a obvious betrayal

in our country.

In order to avoid this serious act, transparency of government funds

should be properly presented to people. The funds on where the

money will go should be properly liquidated and accessed by people

in order this kind of untoward behavior. Being able to access the

government data funds and liquidated report this will allow to

identify who is taking advantage of the budgetary fund of the

specific budget.

As for many of us generations, we only can say that we must better the life of

every people by creating a law that raise the salary of gavernment official

and giving rewards for their good deeds because, sometimes we forget that

they are human being too. As for those charge's we must implement a more

strict law that will be severe that 15years imprisonment and don't give them

special treatment because criminal is always a criminal people suffer while

they are just living their live with no regards on to what are happening at

the field where many are starving people must learn that there vote can be
came the deciding factor neither we float nor sink it is up to us.

 4TH MAJOR ASSESSMENT
Few people deny the dangers of drug use, while many teens are curious about drugs. They
should stay away from drugs because drugs affect our health, lead to academic failure,
and jeopardizes safety. Drugs are used from a long period of time in many countries. The
concentration of drugs has increased from late 1960’s and 1970’s. Drugs can quickly
takeover our lives. Friends and acquaintance have the greatest influence of using drugs
during adolescence. Drugs are chemicals that change the way a person's body or mind
works. Drugs are not good for health as they have many side effects and damage our
brain, heart and other important organs. Drug is a depressant that slows down the
functions of the central nervous system…show more content… Some of the illegal drugs
are marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth and heroin. Drugs are consumed in
different ways, by inhaling, taking by mouth, injecting, applying on skin, and smoking.

When a person is addicted to a drug, the drug becomes so important that the person
cannot manage without it.

Drug use distracts attention leading to academic failure and poor social skills. Stress plays
a major role in drug use and continuing drug abuse. It also creates problem in our family,
school and with our friends. The person’s reflexes will become slower; they will have
trouble working and doing things which require any physical any mental coordination. In
spite of knowing the harmful effects of drugs, people spend lots of money and consume
them to forget their worries and sorrows and to seek happiness. Once a person is addicted,
it is very hard to stop taking drugs.

Drugs get us involved in many illegal activities such as crime, theft, etc. It leads to sexual

assault and accidents. Young people use drugs because of curiosity, peer pressure,
boredom, finance problem and for pleasure. The person’s behaviors tend to self-

destructive activities and are often harder to think clearly and make good decisions.
Drug addiction is a complex but treatable disease. An effective way to get rid of drugs is to have good
companions, involvement in games and social activities, reading books, etc.
