Abstract
Article XIV Sec. 3 of the Philippine Constitution requires all educational institution to include the study of the constitution as part of the curricula in order to inculcate in every Filipino patriotism and nationalism and to teach rights and duties of citizenship among others.
Nationalism and Patriotism, together with development and freedom, have become bywords to the Filipino youth, yet these ideals are so elusive as to their precise comprehension and manner of realization. Thus the Filipino youth is in dire need of guidance in his attempt to contribute in effecting a just and humane society.
It was in this context that this book was conceived, to equip the Filipino students with a workable understanding of Politics, Governance and the fundamental laws _of the land; to provide answers to the most pressing questions about their rights and duties as citizen; and to encourage the youth to participate in the collective exercise of sovereignty of the Filipino people through good governance, and mature Political exercises.
This book will be especially useful to students and teachers who are taking and teaching the Philippine Constitution. Great care was given in the treatment of the different provisions of the Philippine Constitution.
The book consists of five main parts. The first part introduces the nature of Politics; the second part, presents the concept of the State; the third part, explore the inherent powers of the State; the fourth part, discusses the intricacies of Government; and the last part, presents and annotate the Philippine Constitution which was treated into the three sub parts namely: (1) the constitution of liberty; (2) constitution of government; and (3) constitution of sovereignty. The treatment and discussion is simple and direct so that students will easily grasp the essential features and competencies in each lesson. Discussions were presented in question form and were followed by answers in simplified yet comprehensive form. We hope that all our efforts will rekindle the fire of Nationalism in the hearts of the students.
