    Citizenship Training: The Filipino Citizen


    origin and definition of filipino
    citizenship
    “Filipino term” can be rooted in the 16th century when the
    Spanish conquistador Ruy Lopez de Villalobos and his
    men baptized their acquired territory in the Pacific as “La
    Islas Filipinas” (The Philippine Islands). The name was
    coined to honor Prince Philip, who was later crowned as
    King Philip II of Spain. As colonialism progressed,
    Spanish settlers who were born in the Philippines were
    referred to as “Filipinos”.
    origin and definition of filipino
    citizenship
    “Filipinos” (”Insulares” or “Creoles” were also used) to
    distinguish them from those who were born in Spain (known as
    “Peninsulares”). However, indigenous inhabitants of the colony
    (branded as “Indio”), like Jose Rizal, began calling themselves
    “Filipinos” in the 19th century while imagining the possibility
    of an independent Filipino nation. These locals succeeded in
    declaring independence on June 12, 1898.

    citizenship
    On the other hand, “citizenship” refers to the membership
    of an individual in his/her community or country. It is a
    title given to a native-born of a specific country or a
    foreigner who was able to profess his/her allegiance to a
    particular state. Even though a country, in theory, is said to
    be ”immortal” every citizen has the responsibility to
    participate in the process of building the nation.
    origin and definition of filipino
    citizenship
    Combining to concepts, Filipino Citizenship pertains to the
    membership of Filipinos in the Filipino nation-state, which was
    painstakingly fought for and established by Filipino founding
    fathers after more than 300 years of colonialism. Because the
    product of blood sacrificed by Filipino heroes, every citizen
    across time has duties and obligations to strengthen the nation
    for the present and next generations
    indigenous peoples (ipS)
    of the philippines
    The indigenous people of the Philippines are the original
    inhabitants of the country before the start of the country’s
    colonial period. The Philippines is home to roughly 110 ethno-
    linguistic groups, with 14-17 million indigenous people (UNDP,
    2013) who are residing in a particular ancestral domain. Today,
    their rights are protected by the 1987 Philippine Constitution
    and are reinforced through Republic Act No. 8371, known as the
    Indigenous Peoples Right Act (IPRA) of 1997.
    Although theories about the peopling of the Philippines may
    vary (i.e., Migration Waves Theory, Austronesian Migration
    Theory, and Nusantao), it may still be proven thet “unity in
    diversity” is possible in a complex society such as the Filipino
    nation. Next slide shows some of the ethno-linguistic groups
    found in the Philippines.
    WAYS OF
    ACQUIRING
    FILIPINO
    CITIZENSHIP
    Generally, there are 2 ways by which citizenship can
    be obtained by an individual.
    • By birth - either by blood relationship (jus
    sanguinis) or by place of birth (jus soli). People
    under this category are known as natural-born
    citizens. in the Philippine Constitution states that
    an individual is a Filipino if his/her mother or
    father is a Filipino regardless of the place of birth.
    With this, Philippines practice the doctrine of jus
    sanguinis
    2. By Voluntary means - or by committing to
    judicial acts to acquire citizenship. People
    under this category are known as naturalized
    citizens. The following are the requirements for
    foreigners to become naturalized citizens of the
    Philippines, as stated in Commonwealth Act
    No. 473 or the “Revised Naturalization Law”

    THE WAYS TO LOSE
    CITIZENSHIP:

    PHILIPPINES
    Duties and
    obligations of
    filipino citizens
    The 1987 Constitution does not have
    specific provisions regarding the duties
    and obligations of citizens, albeit Article
    V of the 1973 Constitution gives us a
    glimples of the following
    • Citizens have the obligation to defend the
    Republic and the flag, defend and cotribute to the
    state, support the constitution and cooperate to
    authorities.
    • They need to respect the rights of others
    • They have to become productive citizens and have
    productive sources of income to sustain their
    families

    CITIZENSHIP IN THE
    PHILIPPINES

    It's about giving and taking, contributing and


    participating, respecting and protecting. Every
