Good Citizenship and Governance

A good Filipino citizen is one who plays an active and intelligent role as a member of the
community.
He/she is one who fulfills his duties and obligations to the government and society.

He/she possesses the traits of respectfulness, courtesy and consideration for parents and elders and
for others.
He/she observes punctuality, promptness, and good moral conduct.

You can become good citizens by living in accordance with the good citizenship values we can
derive from the preamble of the1987 constitution:
“We the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God in order to build a just
humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote
the common good conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity,
the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice,
freedom, love, equality and peace, do ordain and promulgate this constitution”

(NSTP Module 1 Lesson 1 2010).

Morals of Good Citizenry
Article II, Section 13 of the Philippine Constitution recognizes the vital role of the youth on nation
–building, and promotes and protects their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-
being. It shall include in the youth patriotism and nationalism and encourage their involvement in
public and civic affairs.

The provisions are reaffirmed and culmination of Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s expectation that the “youth
are fair hope of Fatherland.” The roles played by the youth in the past for nation-building had
caught the attention of the government. Their demonstration and activism open the eyes and
minds of Filipino leaders and supporters for needed reforms throughout the country. The Filipino
youth, like their counterparts in some parts of the world, exposed corrupt practices of their
elders, and express the urgency of changes for reform.

Kohlberg Stages of Moral Development
Level 1 -Pre-conventional morality
At the pre-conventional level (most nine-year-olds and younger, some over nine), we don’t have
a personal code of morality. Instead, our moral code is shaped by the standards of adults and the
consequences of following or breaking their rules.
Stage 1. Obedience and Punishment Orientation.
The child/individual is good in order to avoid being punished. If a person is punished they must
have done wrong.
Stage 2. Individualism and Exchange.
At this stage children recognize that there is not just one right view that is handed down by the
authorities. Different individuals have different viewpoints.
Level 2 - Conventional morality
At the conventional level (most adolescents and adults), we begin to internalize the moral
standards of valued adult role models.
Authority is internalized but not questioned and reasoning is based on the norms of the group to
which the person belongs.
Stage 3. Good Interpersonal Relationships.
The child/individual is good in order to be seen as being a good person by others. Therefore,
answers are related to the approval of others.
Stage 4. Maintaining the Social Order.
The child/individual becomes aware of the wider rules of society so judgments concern obeying
rules in order to uphold the law and to avoid guilt.
Level 3 -Post-conventional morality
Individual judgment is based on self-chosen principles, and moral reasoning is based on
individual rights and justice (10–15% of adults, not before mid-30s).
Stage 5. Social Contract and Individual Rights.
The child/individual becomes aware that while rules/laws might exist for the good of the greatest
number, there are times when they will work against the interest of particular individuals.
Stage 6: Universal Principles
People at this stage have developed their own set of moral guidelines which may or may not fit
the law. The principles apply to everyone. E.g. human rights, justice and equality.
