According to Commissioner Teresita D. Baltazar “Good
governance is not enough to let work on being good
citizens.”

She maintains that, “If we have to build a better nation, we

have to demand from ourselves, each of us to be a good
citizen that is valued-based and values-driven. Let’s not
leave our future in the hands of our leaders alone.”
Sen. Leticia R, Shahani (1993) asserts that there is a need to
change structures and change people.

She explains that, “Building a people means eliminating our

weaknesses and developing our strengths and this start with
analysis, understanding and appreciation of these strengths and
weaknesses… we must change. And understanding oneself is the
first step.”
To enhance the strengths and overcome the weaknesses
of the Filipino, she propose the following goals for
change:
• Developed in the Filipino a sense of patriotism and national pride – a
genuine love, appreciation, and commitment to the Philippines and
Filipino things.
• Developed a sense of the common good, the ability to look beyond
selfish interest, a sense of justice, and a sense of outrage at its
violation.
• Develop value and habits of discipline and hard work, self-reflection
and analysis, along with the internalization of spiritual values.

Contents and Meaning
of Filipino
Nationalism

Gregorio C. Patacsil
The Historic Service of Nationalism
• Nationalism is the cementing principle that unites
the people of a nation in order to realize an ideal
that becomes national with respect and dignity it
deserves among other nations.
The Development of Filipino Nationalism
• The lack of national sentiments was the case of all the failures of the sporadic revolts
in the Philippines from 1565 to 1872.
• The execution of Burgos, Gomez, and Zamora in 1872 and Jose Rizal in 1986
emotionally united the people due to their national demand for reform. The
Katipunan, with Bonifacio as leader, initiated the uprising movement. The Philippine
Revolution under Aguinaldo, with its adoption of the Filipino Flag, the singing of the
National Anthem, and the promulgation of the Malolos Constitution, completed the
needed symbols that expressed our national sentiments – the elements that bind and
unite the Philippines to develop the Filipino brand of nationalism.
The Program of Filipino
Nationalism
• The program of Filipino nationalism
has been to forge instruments that
would liberate and completely
emancipate Filipinos in all aspects of
the national life.
Patriotism
• Patriotism refers to love for or
devotion to one’s country. The
Filipino Civic Code was
formulated to ensure that patriotism
can be developed in oneself and
practices by all.

The Good Citizenship Value of Patriotism
• To uphold the good citizenship value of patriotism, we should be good
and loving citizens constantly vigilant for the welfare of our country.
Patriotism means being ready to sacrifice ourselves for the love of our
country. NINOY is the epitome of a real hero who is known for his
famous saying that “The Filipino is worth dying for… It is better to die
on our feet than to live on our knees.” (Inspirational Talk on Good
Citizenship Values for Flag Raising Ceremonies, EDSA People Power
Commission, Quezon City).
Some points to ponder:
• Patriotism is a call for every citizen.
• Our country needs people who are committed to serve the interest of the nation no
matter who are seated at the helm of the government.
• Our country’s heroes, the ones who will move our country to greater heights, are not
found in pedestals or pinnacles of power and prestige; they are found in the hearts
and deeds of ordinary people seeking to be good citizens in their everyday lives
(“Consistency” vs “One-shot-deal”).
• There is such a thing as unsung heroes but none whose deeds do not touch the life of
at least one person.
Some points to ponder:
• Patriotism is about loving one’s country by being steadfast and good
citizen despite encountering the daily challenge of life and society.
• Patriotism inspires a citizen to respond to the call of service to his/her
nation and look after his/her fellowmen in need.
• Patriotism is every person’s sense of duty and responsibility to contribute
to the development of the country, the protection of one’s integrity, and
the upholding of the rights and dignity of the people.
Some concrete examples of how we may cultivate the value of
patriotism:
• Loving our country. Let us be vigilant and ready to defend our nation from internal and external
threats.
• Patronizing our country. In the dawn of globalization, let us not belittle our country's products
and good works. Let us be proud of the things that our country produces and patronize them
despite formidable foreign competition.
• Upholding and practicing good citizenship values so that we may serve as an inspiration to our
fellowmen especially the youth who strive to become good citizens themselves.
• Being proud of our personal and national identity. Let us just be proud of our heritage and study
our history and learn from it.
Some concrete examples of how we may cultivate the value of
patriotism:
• Being vigilant and proactive citizens. Let us try to be well-informed of the issues
affecting our country.
• Being law-abiding citizens. Let us respect and uphold the Constitution and all other laws
of the land (e.g. paying taxes, obeying traffic rules, etc.)
• Doing simple acts of service to our fellowmen. Let us reach out ad share our time and
talents with our fellowmen.
• Being with good and honest workers. Let us perform our duties as we should and with
high-level of competence, aiming always for excellence.
Some concrete examples of how we may cultivate the value of
patriotism:
• Being kind and compassionate to others who may not be as fortunate as we are in terms of
material wealth. Let us share our blessings with our fellowmen.
• Consider the integrity and welfare of our country in our undertakings. We should not
engage in undertakings that undermine national interests.
• Recognizing ourselves as Filipinos with dignity and pride. We should resist material
temptations, greed, and the lust for power.
• Being responsible voters. Let us choose candidates according to our conscience.
