Citizens of the Philippines are the following: [1] Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution; [2] Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines; [3] Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and [4] Those who are naturalized in accordance with law. 20 Active Citizenship

The key element in citizenship is an in-depth understanding of an individual’s environment, backgrounds, and nature as a member. De Leon, 1997 states, the term citizenship denotes membership in a political society. The membership implies a duty of allegiance on the part of the member and a duty of protection on the part of the state. A citizen, on the other hand, refers to a member of a democratic community who enjoys full civil and political rights and is accorded protection inside and outside the territory of the state (De Leon, 1997). 22 Active Citizenship
The Philippines is a democratic community its citizens exercise rights and perform duties and responsibilities in different levels and in different reasons whether it is personal or communal. These degree of participation with behind reasons greatly affects the civic engagement addressing public concerns. Problems can be fully solved if the government and its citizens worked together for the common goals. The highest level of citizen participation happens when the people has the dominant decisions over the government. 23 Active Citizenship
Nowadays, efforts of the government to protect its citizen as stipulated in Article 2 Section 5 : “The maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and property, and promotion of the general welfare are essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy”, are far from the expectation of its citizen due to personal agendas of many politicians. 24 Active Citizenship
According to SWS Surveys on Good Local Governance (based on 2009) , local government enjoys a more favorable public support from household heads nationwide with a Good net satisfaction rating to 44. This means participation can be fully realized if the government exercises their duties and allegiance in support for the people and vice-versa. 25 Active Citizenship
The civil society plays an important role in Philippine democracy if the citizens recognize the principle of citizenship. It is a moral responsibility to self, others and community. This moral responsibility has to be matched and expressed with social responsibility in the same way as individual rights have to be matched with social responsibility ( Melegrito and Mendoza, 2016). This means a citizen must be liable and act according to what is right and due to himself/herself, to a person, or to the community towards the attainment of common good. 26 Active Citizenship
