This document discusses the concepts of citizenship and being a Filipino citizen. It begins by explaining the origins of citizenship in ancient Greek city-states, where citizenship was initially limited to men but carried both rights and duties. It then outlines the legal ways one can acquire Filipino citizenship, including jus sanguinis (citizenship by birth to a Filipino parent), jus soli (birth within the country's territory), and naturalization. The document presents an expanded concept of citizenship, seeing it not just as a legal status but as a bond linking individuals to work for the betterment of society through fulfilling duties and using rights for the common good. A responsible citizen is expected to actively participate in addressing issues facing society.
