Introduction
Voting or Suffrage is a long-fought privilege and right given to every Filipino citizen.
Most importantly, it is a responsibility that every Filipino who comes of age must fulfill in
recognition of the sacrifices those before us had to give so that those who came
generations after them may no longer be dictated by foreign elements.
By voting, a Filipino is given the opportunity to be directly involved in the affairs of the
nation and have a stake in national interest. (CHED, 2005) Thus not only is it a right and
a responsibility, it also becomes a privilege.

Voter Citizenship Education
“Buy my Vote”
Create a comic that revolves around a person selling their vote to a corrupt politician.
Illustrate the effects of what may happen when corrupt politicians are able to cling to
power. Make the illustration and dialogue as creative as possible
1.By selling your vote to an undeserving candidate, are you devaluing yourself? Why or
why not?
-Yes, I am devaluing myself by allowing someone to purchase my vote. Someone who
has good leadership and listens to his constituency deserves to be elected as someone
who can lead with passion to serve the country, establish higher goals, and love his
people. This is a challenge for us people to vote wisely. When an unworthy person is
selected as a leader, there is a risk that corruption may permeate throughout the
democratic system. By selling my vote, I am allowing selfish individuals to take
advantage of my privilege to pick who will serve my nation. Because most politicians
only offer pledges when wooing voters for support and after attaining power, the poor
will bear the brunt of their broken promises. We should not let money be a source of
distraction for us. Money can buy us enjoyment for a short period, but a corrupt leader
will take away our individual liberties and rights.
2.Why do you think corruption has become so ingrained in our system even in
something as early as the vote?
-Money wields enormous power. It is capable of buying people, votes, and everything
else. Corruption will never be abolished as long as people are preoccupied with money
and power. Corrupt individuals exist today because we allow it to happen. We become
sidetracked by money when it comes to voting leaders, which has become our way of
life.

PROCESS QUESTIONS
1. What is a voter citizenship education?
-Voter education entails providing basic information about voting to citizens
of a democracy. Voter education is frequently offered by the state,
sometimes through a national electoral commission, hence it is important
that it is politically nonpartisan.
2 Why do we study voter citizenship education?.
-Because there are several private institutions whose aim it is to foster
democratic principles by enhancing voter education. The emphasis is
frequently on how to vote rather than who to vote for. Citizens would gain
information via adequate voter education.
3 What is the relationship between voting and democracy?
-A democratic state is one in which citizens voluntarily and peacefully
change former leaders, and the leadership is given the right to rule
because the people say so, whereas voting is a formal declaration of an
individual citizen's or group's view or decision, most notably in an election
of leaders chosen by the people.
Voter Rights to educate others and malpractices of some individuals
Qualification and Disqualification of a Voter
Why is it Important to choose Good Leaders?
Because we see them every day, those we elect become public role
models who help form attitudes. When excellent leaders are elected to
positions of power, they seek to unify rather than divide the people. Our
elected politicians are representatives of our collective consciousness.
They represent our opinions and ambitions.
Suffrage may be exercised by all qualified and registered voters of the Philippines not
otherwise disqualified by law. According to our Constitution, voters shall not be barred
from voting by their literacy, amount of property, or other such matters.
Qualifications to vote in the Philippines are:
a. Being a citizen of the Philippines
b. Being eighteen years of age or over
c. Being a resident of the Philippines for one year, and for at least six months in the city
or municipality wherein he/she proposes to vote immediately preceding the election are
qualified to vote.
The following are disqualified from voting
a. Any person who has been sentenced by final judgment to suffer imprisonment for not
less than one year. However, he/ she may reacquire the right to vote upon expiration of
five years after service of sentence.
b. Any person who has been adjudged by final judgment by competent court or tribunal
of having committed any crime involving disloyalty to the duly constituted government
such as rebellion, sedition, violation of the anti-subversion and firearms laws, or any
crime against national security, unless restored to his/her full civil and political rights in
accordance with law: Provided, That he/she shall regain his right to vote automatically
upon expiration of five years after service of sentence.
c. Insane or incompetent persons as declared by competent authority.
The value of your Vote
The Commission on Higher Education emphasizes that every voter must value their
vote:
Equal chance for a vote, whether rich or poor
Guaranteed opportunity to participate
It is priceless
Your Vote will mean:
Better services from executive
Better policies and laws from the legislative
A brighter future for us, FILIPINOS.
Situationer:
Lia Jorges and her classmates at Nord Anglia International School Manila saw a
problem with the country‘s voting system.
Lia said voting in the Philippines is often ―based on a candidate‘s personality and
popularity.‖ Their tarpaulins and posters plastered all over the city usually do not even
give any indication of their platform and what they stand for.
So they decided to do something about it, and more importantly, wanted to empower
their peers to be more mindful of the candidates they choose when they become eligible
to vote.
They designed the Boto Mo Bukas Ko (―your vote is my future‖) program, and have
been working on creating voter education toolkits aimed at 11-17 year olds. The
program aims to teach young people the importance of their participation and
mindfulness in helping to build political institutions, and how they can play their part in
contributing to good governance. ―
We think it‘s important to educate people our age about proper citizenship, democracy,
policy and legislation. All the things related to elections and voting before our time to
vote comes,‖ Lia said. (Nord Anglia Education, 2019)
In the Philippines, young voters play a big impact on the country‘s elections as over half
the voting population, or about 23 million votes, are from the youth sector.
(Buchenbacher, K. 2019)
The Commission on Higher Education has the following advice for first time voters on
why electing good leaders is vital in reform and governance:
♣ Elected candidates have access to public resources which can be used for the
betterment of all, and not just a select few.
♣ Those we elect become incharge of deciding our needs as citizens, and give priority
to the most important issues that directly affect us, and properly allocate resources
needed to address these issues.
♣ Those we elect also become visible role models that help shape attitudes, because
we see them every day.
♣ When good leaders are elected into influential positions, they want to unite rather than
divide the people.
♣ Our elected officials form our conscience as a people. They embody our judgments
and aspirations.
Why should we cast our Votes during Elections?
-Voting in elections is vital because it is a basic right, and doing so enhances the
likelihood of choosing someone who will represent their viewpoints. When we use our
right to vote, we will have demonstrated to ourselves that we are prepared to confront
our destiny as a people and to be accountable for the well-being of our country.
♣ It is during the elections where we as citizens determine who is able to make
decisions and wield the power they were handed to make a positive difference for the
country for years to come. Our decision on who to put in power is of national
significance.
♣ Exercising our right to choose our leaders at the very least gives us HOPE that we
CAN choose good people to be our leaders; and having good people in government will
assure us that our needs and welfare will be addressed and safeguarded.
♣ When we utilize our power to vote, we will have proven to ourselves that we are ready
to face our destiny as a people and indeed be responsible for the welfare of our nation.
What must we do?
-What we must do is to register to vote and ensure that all of our information is current!
Every vote matters, so help us make our voices heard!
Register or revalidate your registration
Encourage your friends to register and to revalidate their registration.
Help educate your friends.

PROCESS QUESTIONS
1 . Is right to vote a human right?
-The right to vote is a fundamental human right that allows individuals to
influence governmental decision-making while also protecting their other
human rights. By allowing for peaceful transitions of power, free and fair
elections assist to avoid conflict and bloodshed.
2. Why educate voters?
-In order to correctly vote and make decisions that will benefit us and our
nation in the long term.
3.Why is it important to be an educated voter?
-It is important that we vote and act on facts rather than opinions in order to
correctly vote and make decisions that will benefit us and our nation in the
long term. The best way to accomplish this is to educate ourselves about
politics, the voting system, the candidates, and the issues regarding the
election, so that we know what we're getting ourselves into when we go to
vote.
Right to vote whenever obligation calls
PROCESS QUESTIONS
1 . Is voting a right or obligation?
-The ability to vote is not an obligation, but rather a right that all citizens
have to contribute significantly to the success of the government. I feel that
voting is a privilege that all people 18 years of age have because we may
pick a candidate to lead us and vote to alter the government of our nation.
2. What is the right to vote freely?
-The right to vote must be granted to "every citizen."
3. What rights give us the right to vote?
-The right to vote in elections and voting procedures must be legally established.
The government should take proactive steps to address specific challenges, such as
illiteracy, language obstacles, poverty, or restrictions on freedom of movement that
prohibit eligible voters from exercising our voting rights.
