A bill of rights is a constitutional

enumeration of rights and privileges guaranteed
by the State to all persons within its territory. It is
the statement of individual liberties which
citizens, residents and sojourners in the country
enjoy abuses in against the exercise of
government power. In short the people’s shield
against government abuse.

NATIONALISM AND
PATRIOTISM
OVERVIEW
The history of nationalism and patriotism in our
country is as old as the history of humankind.
The term “nationalism” is generally used to
describe two things, first is the attitude that the members
of a nation have which includes the concept of national
identity such as common origin, ethnicity and cultural
ties. The other one is the actions that the members of the
nation take when seeking to achieve (or sustain) self-
determination.
OVERVIEW
These involve having full statehood with
complete authority over domestic and
international affairs. On the other hand,
“patriotism” is love of and/or devotion to one’s
country. However, patriotism has had different
meanings over time, and its meaning is highly
dependent upon context, geography and
philosophy.
OVERVIEW
Although patriotism is used in certain
vernaculars as a synonym for nationalism, nationalism
is not necessarily considered an inherent part of
patriotism. Likewise, patriotism is strengthened by
adherence to a native religion, particularly because
such a community usually has its holy places inside its
motherland. This also implies a value preference for a
specific civic or political community.
OVERVIEW
Nationalism is characterized by an
attachment of superiority to one’s country,
an aspiration for its continuity, prosperity,
and maintaining a high regard and respect
for the laws, principles and policies of that
country.
OBJECTIVES
1. Understand the principles underpinning good

citizenship, rights and responsibilities of citizen,
service and volunteerism for national
development;
2. Develop awareness of the moral values and make
them the standard that would form an individual’s
behavioral values; and
3. Appreciate the salient provisions of Flag and
heraldic code of the Philippines as embodied in
RA No. 8491.
Salient Provisions of Flag and Heraldic Code of the
Philippines (as embodied in Republic Act. 8491)
The Philippine Flag
BLUE
RED
The Philippine Flag
A flag is a sacred and respected feature of the nation which it symbolizes.

Each nation’s flag has a specific way in which it should be displayed and
folded.
Our national flag is the symbol of our country. It shows our unity as
people. It stands for our high ideals and noble heritage. Therefore, when
you show respect for the flag, you also show respect for our country and
people. One way to show respect is to handle the flag properly.
The Philippine Flag
The Philippine National Flag is said to be the primary symbol of

the nation’s camaraderie, solidarity and unity. It is therefore, the
symbol of nationalism and patriotism in our country. And so, let us
learn more about its history and origin.
RED BLUE
The national flag of the Philippines is a horizontal bicolor with

equal bands of blue and red, and with a white equilateral triangle based at
the hoist side; in the center of the triangle is a golden yellow sun with eight
primary rays, each containing three individual rays; and at each corner of
the triangle is a five-pointed golden yellow star.
The flag was first conceptualized by Emilio Aguinaldo. The first flag
was sewn in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncillo, her daughter Lorenza, and
Doña Delfina Herbosa de Natividad, niece of Jose Rizal, the Philippines’
national hero. The flag is displayed with the blue field on top in times of
peace, and with the red field on top in times of war. The Philippine flag is
unique in the sense that it can indicate a
state of war when the red field is displayed on top or on

observer’s left when the flag is displayed vertically, with
the white equilateral triangle at the top end.
Section 10 of RA 8491 states that

when the flag is displayed on a wall during
peacetime, the blue field is to the
observer’s left
t
Construction
180
The flag’s length is twice its

width, which translates into an aspect 45
10
ratio of 1:2. The length of all the sides 9 10 18
90 45
of the white triangle is equal to the

width of the flag. Each star is oriented
in such a manner that one of its tips
points towards the vertex at which it is
located.
Flag Protocol
The flag should be displayed in all government buildings, official
residences, public plazas, and schools every day throughout the year. The days of
the 28th of May (National Flag Day) and the 12th of June (Independence Day) are
designated as flag days, during which all offices, agencies and instrumentalities
of government, business, establishments, institutions of learning and private
homes are enjoined to display the flag. But in recent years, the flag days are now
from May 28 to June 30 yearly. By law, the Philippine flag must be permanently
hoisted and illuminated at night at the following locations:
Flag Protocol
1. Malacañang Palace, the Presidential Residence
2. The Congress of the Philippines buildings:
a. Senate of the Philippines building

5. Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers
6. Mausoleo de los Veteranos de la Revolucion
7. All international ports of entry
8. All other places as may be designated by the National Historical Institute

Half-mast
The flag may be flown at half-mast as a sign of mourning. Upon the
official announcement of the death of the President or a former President, the
flag should be flown at half-mast for ten days. The flag should be flown at half-
mast for seven days following the death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice,
the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The flag may also be required to fly at half-mast upon the death of
other persons to be determined by the National Historical Institute, for a period
less than seven days. The flag shall be flown at half-mast on all the buildings
and places where the decedent was holding office, on the day of death until the
day of interment of an incumbent member of the Supreme Court, the Cabinet,
the Senate or the House of Representatives, and such other persons as may be
determined by the National Historical Institute.
Half-mast
When flown at half-mast, the flag should be first

hoisted to the peak for a moment then lowered to the
half-mast position. It should be raised to the peak again
before it is lowered for the day.
Folding the Flag
1. Hold the flag at each of its four corners and pull it taut. The folder
holds the corners at the end with the blue and red fields.
2. Fold the flag in half, lengthwise, with the red field covering the blue
field. Pull it taut again making sure the open side’s edges are flush
with one another.
3. Fold it in half again, the closed side over the open side, again
maintaining the flattening tension, and parallel, flush edges on the
open side. The blue field should now be displayed face up.
4. Take the closed side’s blue field corner and fold it over the open side
such that what was the bottom edge is now parallel and flush with
the open side forming a right triangle (a triangle with a ninety-degree
angle).
Folding the Flag
4. At the right angle, fold the flag again such that a new right
triangle is formed, still keeping the open edges parallel.
5. Fold the right-angled corner of the new triangle over
such that it forms a new right triangle with what had been the
bottom edge now flush with the side of the flag below it.
6. Continue this sequence of folds creating right triangles until the
flag is completely folded into a right triangular bundle. The
white field and yellow sun should now predominate in the
visible areas of the flag.
Folding the Flag

Country are Small Acts of Patriotism
First: Follow traffic rules. Follow the law

our destiny as a nation.

people.
Eleventh: Adopt a scholar or a poor child
Investing on our youth is investing on our country’s future. Every family who can afford,
should adopt one poor child as a scholar.
There is love of neighbor whenever we help a child get an education.
Twelfth: Be a good parent. Teach your kids to love our country

If we start planting seeds of patriotism in the hearts and minds of our youth today, they
would become giant patriots of our country someday.
There is love of neighbor whenever we teach and raise our children as patriots, by loving
our country through loving our people.
Love of neighbor, God’s Second Highest Commandment, is contained in each of these

12 Little Things.

12 Little Things Filipinos Can Do To Help Our Country
By Alexander Lacson
Input No. 4: Leadership and the Youth
Leadership is the highest potent quality of an individual to be

greatly successful in life. It is the key dynamic factor that can encourage
one to actively participate in many ventures that can lead to the
attainment of goals. It is also the key force to developing teamwork to
ensure completion of common goals or purpose.
It is in this premise that the youth, in their role as nation-
builders, must develop leadership potentials such as knowledge, skills
and positive attitude to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in meeting
their goals and develop the spirit and ethics of service for the good of
others. Hence, the need for training the youth to be servant leaders is
very essential.
Leadership Defined
Leadership is a process of giving control, guidance, headship, direction

and governance to a group or organization. It is a key dynamic factor that
motivates and coordinates organizations to accomplish their objectives. Without
being inspired by a leader, the whole organization or a department might drift
along with no definite focus on key objectives such as trying to improve the
worker’s safety.
Leadership is the art of influencing and directing others to do assigned
tasks or goals, in such a way as to attain them. There is obedience, respect,
loyalty and cooperation. Leadership can be exercised by anyone irrespective of
the framework of command. Also, it is the process of guiding and directing the
behavior of the people in the work environment.
Leadership Defined
• Leadership is the ability to inspire, to build confidence and gain

support among the people to attain organizational goals.
• Leader as a Guide is one who assumes the role of a director,
organizer, mentor, guru or adviser.
• Leader as a Frontrunner is one who can spearhead, shading
light, a trailblazer, and groundbreaker.
• Leader as a Head is one who can be called as chief, manager,
superior, principal, boss and superior.
• Servant Leadership is a kind of servanthood and done as a sense
of vocation. It also implies stewardship of good citizenship and
community. It is a means of serving others more than oneself.
Principles of Servant Leadership
According to Spears (2002), the following are the principles underpinning servant
leadership:
1.Listening. The servant leader seeks to identify the will of the group and helps clarify
that will. He or she will seek to listen receptively to what is being said.
2.Empathy. The servant leader strives to understand and empathize with others. People
need to be accepted and recognized for their special unique spirits.
3.Healing. One of the greatest strengths of a servant leader is the potential of healing
one’s self and others because many people have broken spirits and suffered from a
variety of emotional hurts
4.Awareness. It aids one in understanding issues involving ethics and values and view
most situations from a more integrated and holistic position.
Principles of Servant Leadership
5. Persuasion. Another characteristic of a servant leader is the primary reliance

on persuasion rather than positional authority in making decisions within an
organization.
6. Conceptualization. Servant leaders seek to nurture their abilities to “dream

great dreams”. The ability to look at problems from a conceptualized
perspective means that one must think beyond today’s realities.
7. Foresight. This enables the servant leader to understand the lessons from the
past realities to the present and the likely consequence of a decision for the
future.
8. Building Community. Servant Leadership suggests that the true community

can be created among those who work in business and other institutions.
Qualities of Servant Leaders
4. Is not position-conscious. Servant leaders don’t focus on

rank or position. When Colonel Norman Schwarzkopf
stepped into that minefield, rank was the last thing on his
mind. He was one person trying to help another. If
anything, being the leader gave him a greater sense of
obligation to serve.
5. Serves out of love. Servanthood is not motivated by

manipulation of self-promotion. It is fueled with love
(willingness to serve). In the end, the extent of your
influence depends on the depth of your concern for others.
That is why it is important for leaders to be willing to serve.
Servant Leadership Process
• To internalize the deeper meaning of servant leadership, one

must apply the following process:
• Reflecting on It. As a leader, one must reflect about himself
to determine who he is as a person and identify his inner
leadership intention.
• “Where is your heart when it comes to serving others? Do you
desire to become a leader for the perks and benefits? Or are
you motivated by manipulation of self-promotion?”
• If you really want to become the kind of leader that people

want to follow, you will have to settle the issue of
servanthood. If your attitude is to be served rather than to
serve, you may be headed for trouble. If this is an issue in your
life, then heed this advice.
• Stop lording people, and start listening to them.
• Role play for advancement, and start risking your own
interests for other’s benefit.
• Stop seeking your own way, and start serving others.
• It is true that one who would be great must be like the least
and servant of all…
2. Bringing It Home. To improve your skill in servanthood, you

must do the following:
• Perform small acts. When was the last time you performed acts
of kindness to others? Start with those closest to you: your
spouse, children, and parents. Find ways today to do small things
that show others you care.
• Learn to walk slowly through the crowd. One of the greatest
lessons I learned as a young leader came from my father. I call it
walking slowly through the crowd. The next leagues, or
employees, make it your goal to connect with others by
circulating among them and talking to people. Focus on each
person you meet. Learn his name
If you know it already, make your agenda of getting to

know each person’s needs, wants and desires. Then later when
you go home, make a note to yourself to do something
beneficial for half a dozen of those people (anecdote of a
leader, anonymous).
•Move into action. If an attitude of servanthood is
conspicuously absent from your life, the best way to acquire it
is to start serving. Begin serving with your body and your heat
will catch up. Sign up to serve others for six months at your
Church, a community agency of a volunteer organization. If
your heart changes then it works.
3. Daily Take-Away. Albert Schweitzer wisely stated, “I don’t know what

your destiny will be, but one thing I know. The ones among you who will
be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve”. If
you want to lead on the highest level, be willing to serve on the lowest.
• In the truest sense, servanthood is the gift of doing good for others which
sometimes include the exclusion of meeting personal needs. Servants
look for ways to do for others both within and beyond the congregation
and community. Servants do not choose to serve, but serve from a sense
of identity and call. Gifted servants never feel put upon or taken
advantage of, but see each opportunity to do for others as a way to be
true to self and in service to others. As leaders, the need to reflect on it,
bring it home and take it away is a great passion for going along with
one’s inner intention for the good of others.
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
• (by Steven Covey)

• Covey presents an approach to being effective in attaining goals
by aligning oneself with principles of a character ethic that he presents as
universal and timeless.
I. Independence or Self-Mastery. The first three habits surround moving
from dependence to independence. (i.e. self-mastery):
• Habit 1: Be Proactive. Take initiative in life by realizing that your
decisions (and how they align with life’s principles) are the primary
determining factor for effectiveness in your life. Take responsibility for
your choices and the subsequent consequences that follow.
• Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. Self-discover and

clarify your deeply important character values and life goals.
Envision the ideal characteristics for each of your various
roles and relationships in life.
• Habit 3: Put First Things First. Plan, prioritize, and execute
your week’s tasks based on importance rather than urgency.
Evaluating if your efforts exemplify your desired character
values, propel you towards goals, and enrich the roles and
relationships that were elaborated in Habit 2.
II. Interdependence. The next three have to do with interdependence (i.e. working
with others):
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win. Genuinely strive for mutually beneficial solutions or

agreements in your relationships. Valuing and respecting people by understanding a
“win” for all is ultimately a better long-term resolution than if only one person in
the situation had gotten his way.
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. Use empathetic
listening to be genuinely influenced by a person, which compels them to
reciprocate the listening and take an open mind to being influenced by you. This
creates an atmosphere of caring, respect, and positive problem solving.
• Habit 6: Synergize. Combine the strengths of people through positive teamwork,
so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone. Get the best
performance out of a group of people through encouraging meaningful
contribution, and modelling inspirational and supportive leadership.
• Self-Renewal. The last habit relates to self-

rejuvenation:
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. Balance and
renew your resources, energy, and health to
create a sustainable, long-term, effective
lifestyle
