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 concept of citizenship in the modern nation-state as a legal status of an individual in a country. The document also discusses how Filipino citizenship can be acquired through jus sanguinis (right of blood), jus soli (birth within the territory), or naturalization. It provides details on the legal requirements and processes for acquiring citizenship in each case. It concludes by discussing expanding concepts of citizenship that go beyond legal status to include civic participation, advocacy, and contributing to society.
