"It is enough for good people to do
nothing, for evil people to succeed."
“In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in
man,
but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

 POLITICAL
SCIENCE
Political Science - the study of both
State & Government.
It is said that "the study of
Politics can broaden one's understanding of
government, law, civics, and international
relations.
Why Study Political Science?
First,
we are said to be a part of the government
from the very moment we were born; Second,
to study Political Science enables us to know
more about our rights, duties as citizens, the
behavior of the different braches of government
as well as our relation towards other countries,
and
Thirdly, to study Political Science is
to broadens our culture background.
many of us have heard the word
"idiot" many times in our lives when
we were expressing how our view of someone was
who lacked in things, but to the Political
Science the word "idiot" derived by the ancient
Greeks in meaning of someone who never voted,
never kept abreast of government affairs, and
never discussed public issues within daily
conversations...in the most simplest of terms,
to be an "idiot," is to be someone uninformed,
as well as unconcerned, abut politics.
The Merits of democracy are as
fallowed:
Through peaceful and honest
means, the people can make changes within the
government.
To be informed of our government
strengthens the Spirit of patriotism
It educates the people towards
the experience on governing themselves.
Both the success and failure of
the government is a reflection of the people.
Democracy safeguards the rights
and liberty of the people.
The disadvantages of democracy
are as fallowed:
Democracy can lead to the "rule
of ignorance." Government requires the ability
to make right decisions as well as carrying them
out which the majority of people are enable on
doing.
Corrupt, or dishonest,
politicians have been elected to public office
do to false media, wrongfully interpreting
matters at hand, bartering in which the voter is
paid a certain amount to sell them their
vote, or they have been easily deceive by the
person running for office simply by
misunderstanding them, through false media, or
by buying into the person promises (lies) which
many who are rightfully informed will simply
know they will never be carried out.
Democracy pays too much attention
to the quantity and not towards the quality of
things
Those who are the right ones for
the job are seldom given proper notice to the
people.
Democracy is fickle, extravagant,
slow, and open to corruption. There is really no
guaranties that what one politician brought
about will continue because the next party can
easily change it when they are in office of
power
With Knowledge Comes Power
Start learning the
laws the country is said to hold
so we can stop the corruption by keeping one
another accountable.

JOSÉ
PROTACIO RIZAL MERCADO Y ALONSO REALONDA
(born 19 June 1861, Calamba, Philippines- died
30 December 1896, Manila, Philippines),
patriot, physician and man of letters whose
life and literary works were an inspiration to
the Philippine nationalist movement.
QUESTION:
To Jose Rizal, what is the most
important contribution of every Filipino
to his country’s progress?
ANSWER:
The main thing is that every Filipino
must be a good man, a good citizen so that he
can help his country to progress by
contributing his heart, and if need, be his
arm. (With the head and heart, we
ought to work always; with the arm when the
time comes when physical strength is needed.
The principal tool of the heart and the head
is the pen. Other prefer the brush; others the
chisel. On my part, I prefer the pen.)
"government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the
earth"
Jose Rizal's favorite quote by
Abraham Lincoln
