    ACTIVITY #5

    1.Discuss the concept of civil society and Social movements.

    →Civil society consists of organizations and groups working for the


    public's interest outside government and business sectors. It addresses
    issues like poverty, environmental protection, human rights, and labor rights.
    Examples include labor unions, non-profits, churches, and service agencies.
    Recognized as the "third sector" by the United Nations, civil society operates
    independently of the state and market.

    Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), a key part of civil society, are


    voluntary, non-profit groups operating locally, nationally, or internationally.
    They provide humanitarian services, advocate for citizen concerns, monitor
    policies, and offer expertise on issues like health, human rights, and the
    environment.

    Social movements are defined as a sustained and purposeful collective


    mobilized by an identifiable, self- organized group in confrontation with
    specific power structures and in the pursuit of socioeconomic and political
    change. Social movement is a collective body that has a high level of
    commitment and political activism and is not necessarily based on formal
    organization. Social movements are attempts to change society through
    collective action. Social movements are collective enterprises to establish a
    new order of life.Social movements are a collectivity which acts with some
    continuity to promote or resist a change in the society or group of which its is
    a part.

    2. Explain the contribution of civil society organization and social


    movements to Philippine democracy

    → Civil society organizations (CSOs) and social movements are vital to


    Philippine democracy. They played a key role in democratization, particularly
    during the 1986 People Power Revolution, and continue to uphold democratic
    values by promoting human rights, holding leaders accountable, and
    empowering marginalized communities. They drive policy reforms, monitor
    elections, and provide essential services in underserved areas. Digital
    activism has expanded their reach, especially among youth. Despite
    challenges like political harassment and funding issues, CSOs and social
    movements remain crucial in ensuring transparency, grassroots
    participation, and social justice in the Philippines.

    3. Evaluate the roles of civil society organization and social


    movements.

    →Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a critical role in addressing


    social issues, promoting good governance, and empowering marginalized
    communities. They advocate for inclusive policies, provide essential services
    in areas like health, education, and disaster response, and ensure
    government accountability through monitoring and anti-corruption
    campaigns. Organizations such as the Philippine Red Cross and Gawad
    Kalinga address immediate community needs, while groups like Social Watch
    Philippines and the Transparency and Accountability Network influence
    policies and budgets to reduce poverty and improve transparency. Through
    capacity building, CSOs empower local communities to participate in
    governance and develop sustainable livelihoods.

    Social movements are key drivers of societal change, mobilizing people to


    demand justice, reforms, and accountability. They raise awareness and
    challenge systemic inequalities, often through direct actions such as protests
    and rallies. Historical movements like the People Power Revolution exemplify
    their power to dismantle oppressive regimes, while contemporary
    movements, such as those led by Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) and Gabriela,
    continue to advocate for labor rights, gender equality, and social justice. By
    uniting communities around common causes, movements like Save Sierra
    Madre not only resist environmental destruction but also foster grassroots
    solidarity, catalyzing broader societal transformations.
