    The term "Citizen" is defined in the compact Macquarie Dictionary as, "a member, native or naturalised, of state or nation". This paper intends to question what it is that constitutes a member or citizen, of state or nation. Many concepts and theories are promoted by political theorists and practitioners alike that are varied and many in response to defining a "citizen". The expanse of these theories ranges from the all-encompassing endorsement of world citizenship where nation or state borders are invisible, to limited conditional nation based citizenship, which for example, may discriminate against a citizen 's nationality in applying for government office positions.…

    It means the legalization of rights, benefits and obligations of the citizens in a constitution. The institutionalization of citizenship makes the difference between the nationals and the non-nationals. It also underscores distinction between effective, full citizens and those without full memberships. Marshall’s notion of citizenship as a status denoting full membership in a community and to which are attached rights and duties outlines three distinct elements of citizenship: Civil, Political and Social. Recently, some citizens have also included cultural rights as the elements to the citizenship. These developments were driven by the state, the ruling economic and the political class and other socio-economic classes. They were a function of national conflict and were reflected in the state-citizenship nexus. They feature the deployment of nation-state, shared nationhood and bounded…

    On a Philippine Parliament

    • 2565 Words
    • 11 Pages

    Just recently, issues regarding Charter Change through a People’s Initiative became the main content of all major broadsheets and news programs on television and radio. Advertisements by the group called Sigaw ng Bayan advocating this People’s Initiative were also shown in several local channels. They have even popularized their tagline, “Sigaw ng bayan dinggin na! Charter Change ngayon na!” Both sides of the debate have released their own propaganda supporting their arguments. Pro-charter change proponents say that a parliament would be better because the check and balance gridlock under a presidential system would be eliminated. Those against the proposed charter change, on the other hand, say that the checks and balances are necessary in order to prevent anyone from gaining too much power. In effect, they say that the presidential system we have right now is just fine. In reality, there have been few objective discussions regarding this topic. As a result, the citizens of the Philippines are left in the dark as to what the real pros and cons of a parliament are. Shifting to a parliamentary system might not be the best move at this time because of the flaws of a parliament, the political nature of the country and the character of our government officials.…

    According to “Constitution made simple” by Hector S. De Leon, Citizenship is a term signifying membership in a democratic state (p.69). Requiring certified Filipino citizens would give a lot of safety to the Filipino community and the government because they are members of the state and their duty is to be loyal to the state and the state to them to provide protection on both parts. If the government will train a certified Filipino citizen, then the government can rely to them their plans for the safety and security of our country and it is possible that safety can be seen and can be felt among the Filipino community. We believe that with cooperation with the Filipino men, we will be able to bring back the paradise we all wanted our home to…
