DEMOCRACY

ACTION AGENDA FOR A
DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

1. Improve the political and social


environment and reduce poverty
through structural reforms in order
to foster a sense of community and
enable citizens to exercise their rights
and fulfill their obligations.
2. Continually re-examine societal
institutions responsible for value
formation so that they inculcate
rather than indoctrinate democratic
and citizenship values.
3. Incorporate cross-cultural
activities in public and private
sector programs, including those
of schools, churches, NGOs and
POs, so as to recognize
ethnolinguistic and cultural diversity
in the country and encourage the
sharing of experiences.
4. Further promote the use of
Filipino and Philippine languages
in all transactions so as to enable
the articulation of citizenship and
democratic views and values.
5. Continue to harness
institutional as well as
informal mechanisms that
open up space for the
exercise of citizenship and
democracy - conflict
resolution processes, face-to-
face dialogues, partnership
among groups, sectors, even
with the government.
• If the government officials
and the society cooperate
with each other, respect
each other, know how to
handle situations, this will
lead to a better democratic
government, a stronger sense
of community, a stronger
sense of belonging and a
more stable, more meaningful
and healthier sense of self.
