 Active citizenship refers to the idea that citizens should actively participate in their
community and democracy, rather than just passively receiving benefits and services. It
involves taking an active role in shaping the decisions and policies that affect one's life and
community, and working to make a positive impact on society. It also refers to the active
participation of individuals in the political, social, and economic life of their community,

elections, attending community meetings, and engaging with elected officials, citizens can
help to shape the policies and decisions that affect their lives.
It fosters community engagement: Active citizenship encourages people to get
involved in their communities and to work together to address social, economic, and
environmental issues. This can help to build stronger, more cohesive communities and
promote a sense of belonging and shared responsibility.
It promotes social justice.Active citizenship can help to promote social justice by
ensuring that all citizens have an equal voice and opportunity to participate in decision-
making processes. It can also help to address issues of inequality and discrimination by
empowering marginalized communities and promoting greater accountability and
transparency.
It supports personal development: Active citizenship can help individuals develop
important skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. It can
also provide opportunities for personal growth and development, such as through
volunteering, advocacy, and community leadership.

can also help to promote trust and confidence in government, which is essential for a
healthy democracy.

Citizen participation in governance refers to the involvement of citizens in the

decision-making processes of government. This can take many forms, including voting,
attending public meetings, participating in consultations, and joining advocacy groups. The
goal of citizen participation is to ensure that the voices and perspectives of citizens are
heard and considered in the decisions that affect their lives.

There are several reasons why citizen participation in governance is important:

It promotes accountability: When citizens are involved in governance, they are

better able to hold elected officials accountable for their actions. This helps to ensure that
government decisions are made in the best interests of the people, rather than in the
interests of a select few.
It improves decision-making: Citizen participation can provide valuable insights
and perspectives that might not be considered otherwise. This can lead to more informed
and effective decision-making.
It increases transparency: When citizens are involved in governance, they are better able
to see how decisions are made and how resources are allocated. This can help to reduce
corruption and increase trust in government.

There are several rights and opportunities that allow for citizen participation in a
democratic society. Some of these include:

1. Freedom of speech and expression: Citizens have the right to express their
opinions and ideas freely, whether through public speeches, writing, or other
forms of communication. This allows them to share their thoughts and opinions
with others and to hold their elected officials accountable.
2. Freedom of assembly: Citizens have the right to gather and protest peacefully,
which allows them to express their views and bring attention to issues they care
about.
3. Freedom of association: Citizens have the right to join organizations and groups
that align with their interests and values, which allows them to work together to
advocate for change.
4. Right to vote: Citizens have the right to vote in elections and referendums, which
allows them to choose their leaders and have a say in policy decisions.
5. Access to information: Citizens have the right to access information about
government policies, decisions, and activities, which allows them to make
informed decisions and hold their elected officials accountable.
6. Public consultation: Governments often conduct public consultations to gather
input from citizens on proposed policies and regulations, which allows citizens to
have a say in the decision-making process.
7. Participation in civic organizations: Citizens can participate in civic organizations,
such as community groups, non-profits, and advocacy organizations, which
 allows them to work together to address issues and promote change.
8. Right to run for office: Citizens have the right to run for public office, which allows
them to become directly involved in governance and represent the interests of
their community.
Access to legal recourse: Citizens have the right to access the legal system to seek
redress for grievances or to advocate for their rights, which allows them to hold their
elected officials

9. Transparency and accountability: Governments are expected to be transparent in

their decision-making processes and to be accountable to citizens, which allows
citizens to monitor and evaluate the performance of their elected
officials.emocratic process.

10. It promotes social justice: Citizen participation can help to ensure that the voices
of marginalized communities are heard and considered in decision-making
processes. This can help to promote social justice and address issues of
inequality.

Political engagement refers to the various ways in which individuals participate in the
political process, such as voting, attending public meetings, contacting elected officials,
and engaging in activism or advocacy efforts. Political engagement can take many forms,
from individual actions like writing a letter to a representative, to collective actions like
organizing a protest or rally. Political engagement is often seen as a key component of a
healthy democracy, as it allows citizens to have a voice in the decisions that affect their
lives.

Youth empowerment, on the other hand, refers to the process of enabling young people to
take an active role in shaping their own lives and communities. This can involve providing
young people with the resources, skills, and opportunities they need to become agents of
change, whether in their schools, neighborhoods, or broader society. Youth empowerment
can take many forms, from mentorship programs and leadership training, to youth-led
initiatives and advocacy campaigns.

Both political engagement and youth empowerment are closely related, as young people
are often at the forefront of political movements and social change efforts. By empowering
young people to become politically engaged, we can help ensure that their voices are
heard and that they have a stake in the decisions that will impact their futures. At the
same time, political engagement can be a powerful tool for youth empowerment, as it
provides young people with a platform to advocate for their needs and priorities, and to
work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
Why is political engagement important?

Political engagement is important for several reasons:

1.It allows citizens to have a say in how they are governed and ensures that government
policies reflect the will of the people.
2.It holds elected officials accountable for their actions and decisions, which helps to
prevent corruption and abuse of power.

3.It allows citizens to shape the direction of their community and country, and to advocate
for policies and laws that benefit marginalized or underrepresented groups.
4.It fosters a sense of civic responsibility and ownership, which can lead to greater social
cohesion and cooperation.
Why is youth empowerment important?

Youth empowerment is important for several reasons:

1.Young people have a unique perspective and set of experiences that can bring fresh
ideas and innovative solutions to the table.

2.They are the future leaders and decision-makers of society, and empowering them to
participate in the political process can help to ensure that their voices are heard and their
needs are met.

Political Youth
Engagement Empowerment
The role of youth in shaping Philippine politics is a topic that has gained significant
attention in recent years, particularly with the increasing involvement of young people in
various political and social movements. The youth sector, which comprises individuals
aged 15 to 30, makes up a significant portion of the Philippine population, with
approximately 40% of the country's population belonging to this age group.

One of the key roles that young people play in shaping Philippine politics is through their
participation in the electoral process. The Philippines has a relatively young population,
and the youth vote has become an important factor in determining the outcome of
elections. According to data from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), the youth
vote has been steadily increasing over the past few elections, with young voters
comprising around 20% of all registered voters in the 2022 national elections.

Young people's participation in the electoral process is significant because they bring
fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. They are often more open to change and are not
bound by traditional political ideologies, making them more likely to support progressive
candidates and policies. Moreover, young people are more likely to be influenced by issues
that affect their lives directly, such as education, employment, and social justice, which
can shape their political choices.

Another way that young people are shaping Philippine politics is through activism and
advocacy. Many young Filipinos are actively engaged in various social and political
movements, such as environmental activism, human rights advocacy, and anti-corruption
campaigns. These movements often raise awareness about important issues and push for
policy changes that benefit the youth and the wider community.

For example, the youth-led movement against the proposed Charter change in 2018,
which aimed to amend the 1987 Constitution, was instrumental in raising awareness
about the potential risks of the proposed changes and mobilizing opposition to the
measure. Similarly, youth-led groups have been at the forefront of campaigns against
climate change, pushing for policies that address environmental issues and promote
sustainable development.

In addition, young people are also playing a key role in shaping the political landscape
through their involvement in political parties and governance. Many young Filipinos have
been elected to public office, with some even holding key positions in the government. For
instance, the current Secretary of the Department of Youth and Sports, Mr. Francisco
"Kiko" M. Nograles, is a young politician who was elected to the House of Representatives
at the age of 25.
Finally, young people also face challenges in terms of funding and resources. Many young
politicians and advocacy groups lack the resources and funding needed to run effective
campaigns and implement their programs. This can limit their ability to compete with
older, more established politicians who have greater resources at their disposal.
