Mga Kalalip: 1 Rationale and Mechanics

2 National Youth Summit Debate House Rules 2021

h 3803 s s
1Rationale:
Constitutional Reform (CORE) National Youth Summit
In the effort of the administration’s advocacy campaign towards responsive and

effective governance, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG),
through the Center for Local and Constitutional Reform (CLCR), aims to educate the
Youth Sector to become one with the advocacy on amending certain provisions in the
1987 Constitution. The campaign of Constitutional Reform or CORE seeks to encourage
young people to participate, engage, and be active on issues relating to reforming the
present constitution.
However, with the continued challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic, the shift
towards economic recovery has been in the spotlight for the Philippines. As the country
recover from the economic devastation, the CLCR has pushed more on the economic
surgical amendments to the 1987 Constitution.
In this regard, the Center for Local and Constitutional Reform will once again
conduct the Constitutional Reform (CORE) National Youth Summit with its new
theme “Bukas na Ekonomiya nang Lahat ay may Pag-asa”, highlighting the growth of
the Philippine economy, businesses, sectors, and the Filipino people amidst the
challenges brought by the pandemic. The series of events, contests, and outputs will
highlight the involvement of the youth in bringing forth change and gear them towards
action. This activity shall inform, educate and enlighten them on the concept of
Constitutional Reform and how vital it is to amend certain provisions in the 1987
Constitution. This will also provide the youth an avenue to showcase their craft, which will
encourage their involvement and enlighten them about their significant role in nation-
building.
The participants are also encouraged to be active partners in advocating for

Constitutional Reform by initiating activities or by joining events conducted by
constitutional reform advocates.
1Mechanics and Criteria:
1. Essay Writing Competition
The Essay Writing Contest encourages and enhances critical thinking, helps to
organized a well-rounded thought for the youth participants. This activity also improves
arguments with accuracy and bereft of fallacies about the topic of Constitutional Reform
and other related matters, which may be discussed in the conduct of this activity.
Guidelines in the component of the essay, which shall be observed, but not
necessarily to be followed in this competition: Introduction, three (3) body-paragraphs,
and conclusion.
a. Introduction

h 3803 s s
The introduction is usually the base of the essay. It is built up of three (3) major
parts. First, the introduction contains an opening statement, which can sometimes be a
question. This is what most writers refer to as an essay hook. Its purpose is to determine
if the reader wants to continue reading the entire essay until the end or not. Therefore, it
should be able to grab their attention quickly. In addition, it needs to be fresh as well as
creative.
Secondly, the introduction part of an essay should have a supporting sentence.

Such sentence often connects to the opening statement. Sometimes, writers call it the
essay bridge. This is because it attempts to explain the hook of the sentence and make
the essay topic more relevant to discuss.
The last part of the introduction is the thesis statement. This is simply an
argument or claim, which you select either to argue for or against when writing the essay.
Therefore, an excellent thesis statement should be short and price at the same time.
By taking into consideration all the parts of the introduction, you can be certain to
draft an outstanding essay. Make sure that you structure well your introduction question,
the supporting sentence, as well as the thesis statement. Remember that all the
information should fit in just a single paragraph. So, try to be concise, direct, and avoid
too much information.
b. First Body Paragraph
After the introduction, the next part of an essay is the first body paragraph. The
contestants, therefore, have to write the strongest point in order to prove the thesis
statement. The sentence that the participants start with should match with the transitional
sentence of the introduction. The next sentence should present a description of some
examples relating to point of argument in the paragraph. Finally, the last statement of this
part needs to be transitional. The purpose of this is to connect into the claim you intend
to present in the second body paragraph.
c. Second Body Paragraph
The second body paragraph of the 5 parts of an essay should give the second
strongest and compelling argument supporting the thesis statement. The sentence you
begin with should connect to the transitional sentence of the first paragraph. You also
need to clearly present the argument as you begin the paragraph. Consider the use of
examples to give enough support to the argument. As you end the paragraph, write a
transition sentence to connect the third and the conclusive paragraph.
d. Third Body Paragraph
This is the last paragraph of the 5 parts of an essay. It is thus a paragraph in

which you should write the weakest argument to support the thesis statement. Despite
being the weakest argument, you do not have to mention that in the essay. Also, avoid
over-compensating this paragraph with a lot of examples. Instead, structure it just like the
first and the second body paragraphs. As you end it, give a conclusive sentence to make
it sound obvious that it is the last main point you present to the readers.

h 3803 s s
e. Conclusion
The conclusion is the last paragraph of the 5 parts of an essay. It should,

therefore, restate the essay thesis statement. However, your restatement should be
exactly the same as the thesis statement in the introductory part. On the other hand, the
conclusion sums up all the three key points of all the body paragraphs. The last sentence
of this part has to give a clear and accurate signal that it is the end of the essay.

3. Short Movie/Film Contest
Nowadays, the Short Movie/Film Competition is considered by some to be the most

dominant form of art in expressing youth’s emotions, ideas, creativity and even dreams. It
is many things, but it has become above all a means of telling stories, concepts and
ideas through images and sounds.
The stories are often offered to us as quite false, frankly and beautifully fantastic, and
they are sometimes insistently said to be true. But they are stories in both cases, and
there are very few films, even in avant-garde art, that don't imply or quietly slip into
narrative. This Short Movie/Film Competition plays a significant form of youth
expressions on what they see, what they conceive and what they believe and is closely
connected with the simplest fact about moving pictures/objects.

6. National Debate
The National Debate will be conducted virtually. Each region must conduct a filtering of
aspiring teams and then nominate a team to represent the region for the national debate
competition. Each Region must submit the names and contact details of the team on or
before 5 October 2021. Basically, this will be a structured discussion. Each debate has a
format and these rules are there to ensure fairness. One of the fairest forms of debate is
known as “Asian Parliamentary” format wherein it is composed of two (2) teams with
three (3) speakers each.
The team that supports the topic is called the “Government” side and the team that
opposes the topic is called the “Opposition” side. Each speaker shall be given seven (7)
minutes, in the following order: 1) First speaker from the Government 2) then first
speaker from the Opposition, 3) then second speaker from the Government, then second
speaker from 4) Opposition and so on.
The Members of the Government side are the following:
1) Prime Minister (PM) is the one who opens the debate, defines the motion and
advances arguments;
2) Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) is the first to refute at first instance the case of the
opposition, re-establish the government's claim, and advances arguments;
3) Government whip (GW) – makes an issue-based rebuttal of the opposition's case and
summarizes the case of the government.
The Members of the Opposition side are the following:
1) The Leader of the Opposition (LO) is the one who responds directly to the case of the
government by giving a direct clash, and advances arguments. May challenge the motion
if the definition is challengeable;
2) Deputy Leader of the Opposition (DPL) is the one who refutes the case of the DPM,
re-establishes the case of the opposition, and advances an argument;
3) Opposition Whip (OW) is the one who makes an issues-based rebuttal of the
governments and summarizes the case of the opposition.
Adjudicators:
1) Decide which team won the debate.

There is no draw or tie in a debate. Only one side can win the debate. An adjudicator
who doesn’t know how to decide which team won the debate must not have taken much
attention on the details of the debate.

h 3803 s s
2) Determine the crucial issues in the debate.
The adjudicator shall determine the important issues that were discussed during the
debate. These issues refer to those where substantial clashes of points occurred and
where crucial responses were made.
3) Discuss these issues in a manner that would cover the brief summary of points
of both sides, and the explanation on how one team had an advantage over the
other.
Discussions of issues are crucial. Debaters would want to hear the adjudicator's
assessment of the arguments that they have raised. The adjudicator should clearly
convince the losing team why they don’t receive the favorable decision on the basis of
the issues presented.
4) Rate each speech according to the adjudicators’ sheet provided by the

organizers.
5) Give points for improvement.

Adjudicators shall point out the mistakes committed and how said mistakes may be
remedied. Adjudicators shall help the debaters get some points to learn as to how to
argue and how to keep their dynamism during the debate.
