Politics (from greek word politikos, definition "of, for, or relating to citizens")

is the process of making decisions applying to all members of each group.

More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions ofgovernance
organized control over a human community, particularly a state

The Politics of the Philippines take place in an organized framework of

a presidential, representative, and democratic republic whereby
the president is both the head of state and the head of government within
a pluriform multi-party system. This system revolves around three separate
and sovereign yet interdependent branches: the legislative branch, the
executive branch, and the judicial branch. Executive power is exercised by
the government under the leadership of the president. Legislative power is
vested in both the government and the two-chamber Congress:
the Senate (the upper chamber) and the House of Representatives (the lower
chamber). Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of the
Philippines as the highest judicial body.

"Man is by nature a political animal" - Aristotle

About this Quotation:
Aristotles statement that man is a political animal can be taken in a number of
ways. One reading is to say that man is naturally sociable (the Pufendorf-Grotius
line) and that they are naturally drawn to various political associations in order to
satisfy their social needs. Another reading, which sees the word political in a less
charitable light, might state that, since politics is based upon violence and threats
of violence, the phrase emphasises the animal side of human nature rather than
its rational and cooperative side. Those who turn their back on the violence inherent
in politics, in Aristotles view, also turn their back on society - they declare
themselves to be outlaws, without a tribe, and without a heart. His likening them
to a bird which flies alone reminds me of the Rudyard Kipling story in The Just So
Stories (1902) about The Cat who walked by Himself, because he of all the wild
animals refused to be domesticated by human beings. Of course, there is also
Robert Frosts poem The Road not Taken (1920) with the line about choosing the
one less traveled by. Is this such a bad thing?

Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by
nature a political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident is
without a state, is either above humanity, or below it; he is the Tribeless,
lawless, hearthless one, whom Homera denouncesthe outcast who is a lover
of war; he may be compared to a bird which flies alone.
Now the reason why man is more of a political animal than bees or any other gregarious
animals is evident. Nature, as we often say, makes nothing in vain, and man is the only
animal whom she has endowed with the gift of speech. And whereas mere sound is but an
indication of pleasure or pain, and is therefore found in other animals (for their nature
attains to the perception of pleasure and pain and the intimation of them to one another,
and no further), the power of speech is intended to set forth the expedient and inexpedient,
and likewise the just and the unjust. And it is a characteristic of man that he alone has any
sense of good and evil, of just and unjust, and the association of living beings who have this
sense makes a family and a state.
