Alright, good morning again. So for today we will discuss the political self.

So last time we discussed, or last year, din discuss natin yung spiritual self and material self.

So that is more on the personal, very personal yung dalawang yun.

This time, political self, medyo, tsaka yung susunod, digital self, medyo mag-expand siya ng konti from the personal.

Medyo meron na siyang kaakibat na social aspect ng self natin.

From the word itself, political. Medyo ano to, political. Kasi nga political yung kanyang title.

So we will talk about some stuff or some things about politics, about our citizenship, about our nationality, about governance.

Medyo ano lang, pahapyaw lang naman kasi hindi naman yun yung subject natin.

So ang pag-usapan natin is, how does it relate to our self?

Paano nare-relate yung mga issues or mga topics or mga concerns na yan sa buhay-buhay natin as an individual?

So what are the learning objectives? So first, describe the nature, functions, and origins of political self.

Discuss the role of family, school, church, or religion, peer groups, and media in development of political self.

Then determine the importance of social interaction and political self.

And then lastly, identify and describe the theoretical perspective in the development of political self.

So as you can see, sa learning outcomes natin, hindi natin pag-uusapan kung sinong politiko ang dapat nating paniwalaan,

kung sinong politiko ang dapat nating hindi paniwalaan, or kung sino yung politiko na kailangan natin supportan or whatnot.

That is not the topic or that is not the goal of this subject.

But of course, mind you, I'm still human. Sometimes I will have some biases that will come out as I discuss this.

Just to be clear, as much as possible, I don't want talking about politics in this setting like this.

But of course, di natin mapipigilan or di natin, di na mapipigilan. Mapipigilan naman.

It's more like di natin mayiwasan na minsan yung mga opinions natin will reflect some of our biases,

some of our political beliefs, and some of our experiences sa konteksto natin sa buhay.

So if that is the case, kayo nang bahala kung paano nyo i-judge yung mga sasabihin ko regarding sa mga opinions ko about politics.

But I will mention naman. Sasabihin ko naman kung this is just an opinion or this is something that is academic.

Okay? So I hope that's clear with everybody.

Sana wala tayo, hindi naman siguro magbabangayan.

Kasi pag dinidiscuss ko itong political self minsan, lalo na nung face-to-face classes,

medyo nagkakaroon ng sagotan nyo minsan yung mga magkakaklase.

Ako hindi na ako maki-enjoyin kasi syempre ako yung teacher, meron akong political power dun sa classroom na yun.

So I let them enjoy. I mean I let them debate with themselves.

And then ako kumakain lang ng popcorn na imaginary kasi bawal kumain sa room.

But anyway, so that's just a disclaimer.

So we're talking about the political self, not the politics itself.

Okay? But of course medyo matahawakan din naman natin ng konti yung politics.

So, be ready. Okay?

So, political self is an essential part of the self.

The political self organizes self-relevant information about politics.

So the political self is an essential part of the self because it constitutes knowledge about constitution,

government, and governance.

So this is the literal meaning of political self.

But politics is more than the constitution, the government, and the governance.

The formal part of politics.

Because yun nga, yung politika ng Pilipinas, yung constitution ng Pilipinas,

yung gobyerno ng Pilipinas, yun yung formal politics na tinatawan.

Bakit siya formal politics? Because everyone knows it's politics.

But as you grow old, as you work with other people,

as you interact with other people, even sa mga classroom,

there are politics. Or I mean there's politics involved sa classroom.

May formal politics na kung saan yun nga meron mga president, meron mga vice president.

Di ko alam kung anong tawag sa inyo. Sa amin ang tawag is mayor at vice mayor.

So sa inyo di ko alam kung ano.

But still, it's still a position. May organization, may hierarchy

din sa politika or sa political system na yun.

So political self is not just about the constitution, government, and governance,

but it's also on the microcosms of our daily life.

Not only in school, but pag magtatrabaho na kayo.

Pag magtatrabaho na kayo, this is essential.

First thing that you need to know about your organization is the political structure.

The formal political structure and the informal political structure.

So ano yung informal? Di ko maiba-iba yan per organization

but suffice it to say that there are some unwritten rules.

Other than the social norms, meron pang unwritten rules kung sino yung mga pinaka-influential.

Kahit wala silang formal na posisyon, pero dahil meron silang certain amount of time

na magtatrabaho doon or certain amount of connections,

parang sila minsan yung nagiging mas powerful or something like that.

So dapat maging keen tayo sa mga ganyang klaseng politics.

Not only in the politics na national but also in the local politics of your workplace or your classroom.

Bakit kailangan natin malaman yan?

Kasi sabi nga ni isang ancient philosopher, nakalimutan ko kung sino,

humans are political animals. Kahit saan mo ilagay yung tao, may politikang involved dyan.

Ako nung bata ako, meron akong idea na pwede mo naman ihiwalay yung politics sa buhay mo

pero as I grow old, hindi pala. Meron laging politikang sumot sabi nga sa kamabangan.

May laging halo-politika yung mga nangyayari sa buhay-buhay natin.

Not only in the formal politics nga but also in our daily lives.

So even in the family, actually ang source ng political self is the family.

Usually kung paano pinalakad ng household ninyo,

kung paano pinalakad ng family nyo yung household ninyo,

ganoon din usually nagiging political views ninyo.

So kunyari, or baligtad nung ganoon. Depende kung ano yung magiging perspective mo.

For example, yung mga sobrang stricto ng mga pamilya,

usually sila yung naniniwala sa autocracy or parang kamay na bakal na tinatawag.

And then sa mga iba naman na family na democracy na parang pinapakinggan lahat,

so usually sila yung nagkakaroon ng democratic worldview.

Or minsan kung baligtad, kunyari yung mga autocratic, yung mga sobrang strict,

sila yung nagpaproduce ng very liberal ng mga anak.

O kaya yung mga very liberal ng mga parents,

sila yung nagpaproduce ng mga taong gusto ng structure sa mundo.

Depende yan sa psychology ng tao.

But still, what I'm saying here is political self is very important

because every step of the way in our life,

now we need to know more about the politics that we have

and our place in that politics.

So ganoon siya ka all-encompassing, yung political self.

Di natin siya maiiwasan.

So the political self helps in defining the structure and functions of the government,

in telling the relationship between the state and the citizens,

and in describing their rights, freedom, and obligations as citizen.

So ito yung sabi ko nga, yung formal.

Okay?

But I think, meron pa ba kayo yung FIGO or Philippine Government?

Meron diba? May mga subject na ganoon.

Yung pinag-uusapan niya yung mga laws ng Philippines.

Yung senior high school ko.

O yan, yung senior high school diba?

So pinag-uusapan na ito, I will not really dig deep

kung ano ba yung ibig sabihin ng state, ng citizens.

But suffice it to say that knowing more about our citizenship,

our nationality, our rights, our obligations as a Filipino

will really help us in navigating our way dito sa Philippines.

So kung alam natin kung ano yung mga karapatan natin,

hindi tayo basta-basta mayuyurakan ng kung sino man.

But at the same time, every right meron niyang karampatang obligasyon or responsibilities.

So mayroon tayo responsibility as a citizen to become a taxpayer.

Ganyan diba?

Or we have the responsibility to take care of ourselves

because in taking care of ourselves,

we are actually contributing to the well-being of the whole country

or something like that.

So following the rules, following the regulations, and so on.

Pero usually ang pinaka main function natin is paying taxes.

Dito sa Philippines, kahit saan naman, kahit sa ang bansa naman,

ang main responsibility ng isang citizen is to pay taxes.

Hindi ko alam bakit hindi nakalagay dito yung paying taxes.

Kasi pagtandahin nyo, kikita nyo yan.

Although may certain bracket naman.

Pag less than 250,000 ang nare-earn mo every year,

exempted ka sa tax.

Ngayon pag dumagpas doon, meron ka ng tax.

At ako sa laki.

Wala pa din yung SSS Pag-ibig tsaka Pilhil.

Anyway, so yun yung obligations natin.

The political self exemplifies the ideals and aspiration of the people,

embodies the rules and principles of the state,

and determines the task status and power of the people.

So yung political self natin,

or yung parang pinaka perspective natin sa politics,

usually kapag yan yung hinihold ng majority,

as evidenced by the majority vote,

kung sino man yung binoboto,

it reflects the rules and principles of the state.

What do we mean by that?

It means that if a certain country voted for a democratic leader,

or democratic yung kanyang plataforma as a leader,

then we can say that the status or the state,

the country itself,

majority of the people there are believing in a democratic rule.

Okay?

Now, if a certain country voted for an autocrat,

for a dictator,

or any related stuff sa dictator,

then it reflects the rules and principles of the state

that they want to be held politically like that.

Yung will of the people ang tawag dito.

Kung sino yung mga binoto natin,

yun yung will ng mga tao.

Okay?

So yun yung political self natin.

So kung yung political self ninyo

or yung political leanings ninyo is on that side,

you will vote for someone who is also on that side.

Okay?

Kaya nga ang laking bagay talaga ng politika sa Pilipinas lang,

I mean not only the Philippines but also in the whole world now.

Kapag kunyari lagi ka nalang tinatanong,

sinong binoto mo?

Or sinong gusto mong maging presidente?

Tapos parang ang laking, ang big deal.

Di ba?

Parang nagbabago yung tingin ng tao sa'yo

depende kung sino yung pinaniniwalaan mong politiko

or kung ano man yung political side na pinaniniwalaan mo.

Di ba?

Bakit ganun?

Kasi nga, yun yung parang ano eh,

that's how you determine status and power.

Okay?

That's how you determine kung sino ba yung powerful,

kanino ka magsasubmit, kanino ka susunod, and so on.

So kapag medyo, kaya nga po di ba,

pag sa mga family reunion, di ba?

Yung mga tito-tita kapag nagsasabi na sila ng mga political stuff.

Tapos ikaw na medyo siyempre dahil iba din yung political leanings mo

tapos kumontra ka dun sa sinabi nila,

ayun, World War III yung mangyayari.

Not only in the family but also in friends.

Mga magkakaibigan.

Kapag politika na ang pinag-uusapan,

minsan nag-aaway-aaway na.

Meron akong mga kilala nung last election.

Last election, I mean before nung election last 2021 ba?

2020.

Basta yung last election.

Makibigan sila.

Tapos nung nag-election nag-aaway sila

dahil nga din sa political leanings nung dalawa.

Pero eventually nag-ayos din naman sila.

After a while, natapos yung hype.

So ayun, nag-ayos naman.

Pero meron mga iba na talagang nagiging last nail on the coffin

yung political leanings nila.

So it's really, again, this exemplifies the importance

of knowing more about your political self.

Kasi if you know your politics or you know your political leanings,

alam mo kung kailan mo ipapublic yung opinion mo

and alam mo kung kailan ikikeep mo na lang muna sa sarili mo

for your own safety.

Kasi siyempre, depende sa may power,

they can really use that against you, yung political beliefs mo.

So be mindful.

I'm not saying that you suppress your political opinions.

Di ko sinasabing huwag niyong ilabas.

Ang sinasabi ko, be mindful kung paano ninyong sinasabi

yung mga political self ninyo, kung paano ninyo siya share.

And being mindful of your political self also helps you

to determine your biases.

Kasi pag di mo alam yung bias mo tapos laging nangyayari,

medyo maraming problema yung naproproduce niyan.

Okay? So yun.

One important component of political self is identity.

The person's understanding of who and what he is or she is.

Okay? So part nga din ng self mo yan,

yung understanding the self,

kung ano ba yung identity mo as a tao,

ano yung mga pinaniniwalaan mo about power.

Now, one way to gauge kung saan yung leanings ninyo is

tanungin niyo yung sarili nyo,

kanino ko dapat ibigay yung power?

Sa isang tao ba o sa maraming tao?

So depende kung ano yung sagot niyo dyan,

yun yung most likely magiging political leanings ninyo.

Pag you said that one person or a group of person lang,

parang sila lang, sila lang yung magde-decide,

isang tao lang o isang grupo ng tao lang,

you're most likely leaning on the dictatorship side.

Now, if you choose that the leadership or the power

should be distributed among the people,

then that is democratic.

But of course, hindi yan black and white.

Okay? Hindi yan ibig sabihin na democratic ka,

ayaw mo ng lahat ng power naka-distribute.

Hindi. Okay? Ano yan? Spectrum yan.

Merong dictatorship and then democratic.

So minsan maganda na nasa gitna

or nagli-lean ng konti sa isa.

Kasi kung masyadong tayong democratic,

bibigay natin lahat ng power sa ibang tao,

e paano kung yung power,

e yung taong yun ay masamang tao

tapos binigyan mo siya ng power,

ano mangyayari?

So may ma-exemptions minsan sa rules.

But it's more complicated.

So politics is complex.

So reducing them to one camp or the other

is a very dangerous activity.

Hindi naman ibig sabihin na dilawan siya,

e ganto yung ano niya.

Or hindi naman ibig sabihin na BBM siya,

e ganto yung kanyang pagkatao.

Hindi ganon.

Political self is just one side of the self.

But of course human beings,

they love categorizing.

So pag nakategorize ka na as dilawan,

ganto yung ugali mo, gantang ka.

O pag BBM ka, ganto yung ugali mo, ganto yung ano.

Alam nyo yun, yung tao kasi gusto nilang shortcut.

Kaya nga sinasabi ko sa inyo,

before nyo sabihin yung mga political views ninyo,

isip-isipin nyo muna kung makakabuti ba sa inyo yun

or hindi.

Kasi kailangan nyo ma-understand

that there are some things that you need to keep to yourself muna

before exposing it to the public.

Hindi lahat ng tao gusto yung opinion natin.

Minsan ano yan, kailangan natin tandaan yun.

Lalo na pag nasa Twitter.

Pag nasa Twitter ka, isipin nyo muna.

Ako ganon lagi, may pakiba yung mga tao sa tweet ko.

Kung wala silang pake, huwag na ako mag-tweet.

Kaya hindi na ako nag-tweeter.

Kasi napaka-toxic sa Twitter.

Hindi totoong mundo ang Twitter.

Masyado siyang ideal.

Kaya ayun, nag-aaway-away sila lahat doon.

But anyway, so that's political self is just a part of our self.

It's not our whole personality.

But it's a big part, okay?

Thus citizenship becomes a salient basis for political self.

The political self is often defined by citizenship.

So this is just, again, common sense na kasi itong nasa PowerPoint.

So yung citizenship natin, that is our affiliation politically speaking.

But of course, dalo na dito sa Pilipinas, other than the Filipino citizenship,

mayroon pa tayong ibang citizenship.

For example, mga Kapampangan, mga Tagalog, Ilocano, Waray, Bisaya,

mayroon pa tayong nationality.

Even though we're all Filipinos, we still have our other tribes.

And then sa mga Kapampangan, may mga taga San Fernando,

may mga taga Angeles, and so on.

So political self din yung mga yan.

So kung depende kung sang kultura ka galing,

sang lugar ka galing, usually yun yung nagiging mark ng citizenship natin.

And then usually, dun din sumusunod yung political self natin.

So the political self is also in part defined by reference to other members,

as I've mentioned, in the political group or community where one belongs.

Sabi nila, ang politika at religion magkahiwalay.

I doubt.

Religion, I think, this is just my opinion,

is also a form of political power or political side.

Politika din.

And actually, may politika din sa religion.

So it's kumbaga yung religion din natin can also predict or can also define our political self.

Pansinin nyo man.

Depende sa religion.

Minsan meron silang mga kanya-kanyang ways of government.

So let's just say, for example, yung mga bansa.

For example, Saudi.

Saudi is a Muslim country and they still have monarchy.

And then yung mga ibang bansa like yung European countries,

most of them are in Western Europe.

Most of them are atheists.

Wala silang mga official religion and they're democratic.

Pero meron din naman mga religious countries na democratic pa rin sila.

Like for example, US and the Philippines.

So medyo meron silang mga kanya-kanyang affiliations pero hindi sila 100%.

Di naman ibig sabihin na Christiana yung bansa.

Automatic, democratic na siya.

Di naman ibig sabihin ng Muslim yung isang bansa.

Automatic, monarchy na siya.

For example, Malaysia.

Indonesia.

Mga Muslim countries sila pero they're still democratic.

Mostly.

So ganun.

What I'm saying is religion is also a big part of politics or political self.

So political self is developed through socialization.

So social interaction may significantly influence a person's understanding of politics

and perhaps a person's political actions in the future.

So yung mga sabi nga, tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.

So that's how politics is also.

Usually yung mga kaibigan natin, magkakaparehas tayo ng political views.

Bakit usually magkakaparehas tayo ng political views?

Kasi di naman tayo magiging magkakaibigan kung hindi tayo magkakasundo sa iyong mga ilang bagay.

Kunyari, yun nga.

Politics is all about distribution of power.

Sa barkada, kung hindi same yung mga paniniwala nyo sa distribution of power,

eh talagang hindi kayo mag-agree sa mga political self ninyo.

Kasi iba yung mga opinion ninyo about politics.

So usually hindi nagiging magkakaibigan yung mga ganun.

Yung mga nagiging magkakaibigan is yung naiintindihan nila yung distribution of power among the barkada.

Kasi minsan may politics din.

Minsan lang naman.

So socially, lalo na sa mga sobrang laking mga friends, group of friends.

Kaya ako ayoko yung malalaking group of friends. Sakit sa ulo eh.

Okay na ako sa lima lang kami.

Actually apat na nga lang eh. Umalis na sa putang US yung isa.

Basta yun.

And then social interaction may significantly influence a person's understanding of politics

and perhaps sa political.

And through social interaction, people learn the status, duties,

rights, and power necessary to interact successfully with other people in the group or community.

As I mentioned nga.

So what are the origins of political self?

By the way, do you have any questions or clarifications before I proceed?

No, I'm good, sir.

Okay.

So the origins of political self.

The family has a hierarchical structure which requires that each member perform their roles.

So in short, the origin of political self is yung familia natin as I mentioned kanina.

From an early age, individuals are taught to obey and treat parents with respect

and conform to their rules.

So this shows that authority is necessary in development of political self and identity

which is established by the father and the mother.

So makikita natin ito sa mga generations natin.

Okay?

So pansinin ninyo, yung mga generations ng mga lolo't lolo natin,

ang turo sa kanila is dapat ang mga magulang, infallible sila.

Ano ang ibig sabihin ng infallible?

Hindi mo dapat questionin ang mga lolo't lolo nung sila yung mga magulang nun.

Diba?

Nung pinapalakihan nila yung mga anak nila.

Sila yung parang infallible sila, sila lagi yung tama, diba?

Or most of the time, sila lagi yung tama and so on.

But I'm not saying all, no?

Most of them.

Okay?

Baka maganda na.

Most of them are like that.

Okay?

And then meron mga ibang itapos yung mga anak nila,

na usually mga parents natin,

either susundan nila yun or babaligtad sila dun.

Diba?

Paano yung susunod sila dun?

Susunod sila, okay.

So pagpapalakin din nila yung mga anak nila, kamay nabakal din.

And then meron mga iba naman na parang babaligtad, na democratic.

Parang tatanungin nyo yung mga, may respeto din sa mga anak.

Kasi gusto din nila magagano, no?

Like religion po, yes.

So parang magikita din natin yun na ganun din sila, diba?

Yung parang kung ano yung turo sa kanila ng mga mamagulang nila,

usually yun yung either i-adopt nila or i-reject nila.

Okay?

O kaya naman yung iba, matalino sila nasa gitna.

Hukunin nila yung mga magagandang parts,

i-improve nila yung mga di nila gustong parts.

Okay?

Di ko alam kung na-discuss na sa inyo yung three kinds of parents, no?

Yung authoritative, neglecting parent. Nakalimutan ko yung isa.

Search nga natin.

Parenting style.

Gusto ko sa online class eh. Pwede kang mag-ano.

Pwede kang mag-ano.

Ayan, permissive, authoritative, neglectful, and authoritarian.

So yung authoritarian, usually sila yung magpuproduce,

sila yung mga kamay na back-out type na parents.

So usually napuproduce nilang mga political structure is yun nga.

Yung mga authoritative, yung mga very dictatorship ang dating.

And then meron din tayong permissive.

So yung permissive sila yung mga wapakels na mga,

hindi naman mga wapakels pala, baligtad.

Sila yung mga permissive, sila yung mga oo lang ng oo.

Okay?

So yung mga oo lang ng oo sa gusto ng mga anak.

So pag oo ka lang ng oo sa mga gusto ng anak mo,

usually napapariwara sila.

For example, sa Venezuela, alam nyo yung Venezuela?

So yung sobrang laki ng inflation.

Bakit naging ganun sila?

Kasi pinagbibigyan lahat ng tao, nung una.

Nung sobrang daming pera ng Venezuela dahil sa oil nila,

parang pinamudmud lahat sa tao yun.

Nagpaano sila ng school libre lahat, as in libre lahat.

Yun nga lang, dahil libre lahat, parang expenditure lahat,

walang savings yung gobyerno,

nung nagkaroon ng crisis sa oil,

ayun, nawala din yung pera nila.

Tapos yung mga tao dahil nasanay sila dun sa ganun na masarap na buhay,

parang nanibago sila.

And then eventually, nag-go out of control yung economy.

It can also happen in families.

Huwag masyadong permissive, kumbaga spoiled yung mga bata.

And then meron din tayong tinatawag na neglectful.

Ito yung mga wapakels, bahala kayo sa buhay ninyo.

Matira matibay, kumbaga.

And then yung mga matira matibay, yun yung mga anarchy yung dating.

Ano yung anarchy? Walang rules.

So you can do what you want.

And of course doing what you want, that is not always the best choice.

And then lastly is yung authoritative parents.

So yung authoritative parents,

sila yung nasa gitna ng permissive tsaka authoritative.

So they respect their children.

They respect their children.

But at the same time, they want to earn the respect of their children.

Kasi may mga ibang mga parents na dapat matik yun.

Parang default na ako yung magulang, ako yung respetuin mo.

Pero may mga ibang mga parents na parang ako yung magulang

pero tatray ko pa rin i-earn yung respect mo.

Among those two, psychologically speaking,

and research have also suggested that yung mga authoritative parents,

yung mga tinatry i-earn yung respect ng mga anak nila,

sila yung mas nagiging successful sa pag-raise ng mga successful na bata.

Kasi nga, they respect the identity of that person.

So that is a form of democracy, distributing the power.

But at the same time, there is still power on the parents.

So, di ba, nakikita niyo yung politika.

Hindi lang siya black and white.

And in order for the political self to become flourishing,

hindi dapat mag-lean lang sa isang side.

Dapat kunin mo yung dalawang sides.

Kunin mo yung authoritarian and then yung permissive sides.

Bakit?

Kasi it's not all the time naman kailangan ikaw ang masunod sa parent.

At the same time, hindi naman all the time dapat yung anak yun asasunod.

Kasi minsan, yung mga parents natin, they live through life longer than us.

So they have some knowledge.

They have some wisdom about living life.

At the same time, hindi naman lahat ng mga naranasan nila is applicable sa mga anak nila.

So kailangan din nilang minsan makinig sa mga anak nila kasi anak nila yun.

And actually, those people, yung mga anak nila yan,

sa kanilang galing yan but at the same time,

they still have their own identity.

So the parents must still respect that identity, that person.

Hindi lang sila anak.

Tao sila.

Kasi minsan nakakalimutan ng mga iba yun.

Ay, anak lang kita.

Hindi, tao din yan, girl.

Kapag nakakalimutan ng parent na tao din yung kanyang anak,

dun usually nagkakaroon ng hidwaan sa pagitan nila.

Ako yung magulang mo, sundan mo ko.

Kaya nag-aaway.

But anyway, so that's a very elaborate way of explaining the origins of political self.

So yung depende sa pagpapalaki ng mga magulang,

maapektoan talaga kung paano natin makikita ang political self natin.

Okay?

So ask yourself, ano mo yung political leanings ninyo?

And then how does it relate sa pagpapalaki ng mga magulang nyo?

Kasi may correlation yan.

It's either positive or negative correlation.

Alam nyo naman yung correlation, di ba?

So just go figure kung paano na-develop yung political self ninyo.

Okay?

Sige.

So other than the parents, schools also have the responsibility to teach

the moral, spiritual, and political values that will develop the students

to become patriotic and morally upright citizens.

But this doesn't necessarily mean naman na kailangan kayong puwersahin.

Although depende kasi sa school din yan.

And depende din sa political and spiritual beliefs ng schools.

But ideally, lalo na kung publicly sponsored yung school,

a.k.a. public schools, dapat maging neutral as much as possible

sa politics, morals, and hindi naman sa morals, sa religion.

Kasi public yan eh.

Pag public kasi merong clause sa constitution natin

ng separation of state and church.

So exclusive yung dalawa.

So pag sa public, kumbaga inclusive dapat yung mga schools.

They must teach not only the majority or yung major religion

which is yung Catholicism or Christianity.

They must also include or somehow take into consideration

yung mga ibang religion or lack of religion ng mga tao.

Okay?

So the church also helps, shapes the ideals of the citizenship

and democracy through their teachings, homily, and pastoral letters.

So meron ding involvement yung church.

Sa politics.

But not so great.

I mean, not so dikit sila.

Kasi compared dati, sobrang dikit ng church and ng state.

Pero eventually, parang unti-unti, naihiwalay na sila.

Although ngayon, officially speaking, wala tayong religion.

I mean, walang religion yung state natin, officially speaking.

Pero practically speaking, majority ng mga Pilipino is mga Kristiyano.

And then second, mga Muslim.

So medyo diverse tayo as a nation.

And also peers become increasingly important in influencing the political self.

And lastly, I think this is the most powerful of them all.

Mass media or social media is the greatest influencer of our political self.

And I think, this is just my opinion,

BBM won because of the social media war.

Yes, sa mga edad natin or edad ninyo, medyo mas matunog ang pangalan ni Lenny.

Pero iinal lang yung bumuboto sa age group natin.

Mas marami pa rin ang bumuboto sa age group ng mga magulang natin, mga working class.

And sa social media nila, doon yun yung tinarget ni BBM.

So kaya mas marami silang nakuha sa mga.

Kumbaga, hindi nag-attend sa mga rallies yung mga 40 to 50 years old na BOM.

Pero sila yung mas maraming votation power.

Kaya yun siguro, one reason talaga magaling yung campaign manager nila

on targeting who are their potential voters.

And yun, mas marami silang nakuha sa mga 40 to 50 years old and above

sa kanilang social media campaign.

And then yung social media campaign nila nag-start yun since panahon pa ng last president natin.

Kaya talagang efficient talaga sila sa kanilang pag-gather ng mga votes

even before the actual election.

So talagang may mga ads na.

Public record naman yun, hindi naman ako nag-ano.

Parang meron na silang mga ads for like that.

And then yun nga, sabi ko nga sa inyo, mas reachable na yung mga tao ngayon compared dati.

Dati kasi meron pang mga door-to-door, pupunta pa yung mismong politiko doon sa mismong lugar.

Pero ngayon hindi na kailangan yun.

Basta may cellphone yung tao which most of us naman have, they can reach them.

To ask for their vote, to convince them of their political leaning.

Okay? So, ayun.

This is just a subjective activity pero hindi na natin susundan.

Okay? So that is the political self.

As I've mentioned, political self is just a part of our self but it is a major part

kasi it really defines how we treat power, how we treat our government,

how we treat other people, how we treat the duties and responsibilities

that we have as a citizen and also as an individual person.

So again, politics is not only applicable for the national politics,

it's also applicable sa mga local politics natin.

From the schools, from our jobs, and even in the family, and even sa mga peers and friends natin.

So, it's really important for us to know more about who we are as a political creature,

as a political being, saan ba tayo, saan ba yung lugar natin,

ano yung paniniwalaan natin, ano yung paniniwalaan natin about sa power.

Because that will really define on how we treat other people and how we treat our lives in general.

So, kahit sabihin man natin na ayaw natin ng politiko,

I myself, ayaw ko nang mag-involve sa politics, ayaw ko nang isipin masyado,

pero wala eh. Kahit hindi ko isipin, nandyan pa rin siya.

Kahit hindi ko isipin, siyempre kung sino man ang namumuno sa bansa natin,

malaking bagay talaga or malaking epekto talaga ang nagagawa niya para sa akin.

It's either positive man yan or negative, malaking effect niya sa pang-araw-araw kong buhay.

Kaya naman, pag kayo na yung boboto or I think yung ibang maboto na sa inyo,

before you vote talaga, you must really think about who you are voting for.

Because who you are voting for is a reflection of who you are as a person, politically speaking.

And of course, no one can judge you naman if that is right or wrong,

but at the same time, kayo lang talaga yung makapag-decide

kung yun ba talaga yung gusto niyong paniwalaan, yun ba yung gusto niyong gawin.

Depende kung kilala niyo ba yung political self niyo.

Kaya kailangan talagang kilalaan niyo rin yung political side niyo.

Okay? So with that, do you have any questions or clarifications sa ating discussion?

None po, sir.

None po.

Sana hindi ako nagmukhang nagbabol-babol lang.

Kasi nine slides lang to and I made it longer.

But anyway, so thank you for listening.

And I will see you later for our next lecture. Okay?

So end ko lang recording.
