TRAINERS' TRAINING WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

In a few months’ time the entire nation will be thrown into the midst of election frenzy. We can get lost amidst all the campaign jingles, taglines, slogans and promises. Thus we need to search for a firmer foundation on which to ground our vote – the self.

 

PVA 2010 Edition: Ang Bagong Botanteng Pinoy (BBP) is a political education program that shifts the focus from the candidate to the voter. It consists of the following modules:

 

MODULE 1 - Ang BBP: Kumikilos sa isang Konteksto

Oftentimes, our choices and decisions are done out of context and thus we end up adding to the problem rather than solving it. Thus, the voter must be aware of the current national social, economic and political situation which will serve as the context for his/her vote.

 

MODULE 2 - Ang BBP: Karapatan Kong Tunay

The voter has an important responsibility to protect our democratic institutions. To carry this out, s/he is given the power to choose public officials and his/her power to choose is protected by rights.

 

MODULE 3 - Ang BBP: Hi-Tech Na!

The voter must be familiar with the automated process to ensure that his/her vote and those of the rest of the electorate are correctly counted.

 

MODULE 4 – Ang BBP: Gusto Ko ‘To!

Political engagement does not end with casting one’s vote. The Filipino Voter actively engages in the socio-political affairs of the country even beyond elections. This module will show how!

2. SPIRITUALITY OF GOVERNANCE

In many recent writings, there has been a shift from government to governance. This is an important development because it brings into the picture ordinary people like you and me in determining the future of the community, even a nation. For this to happen, we must choose to take this on. Our Christian faith and our Church leaders asked us to do so and build it into a spirituality of governance – a disposition towards responsible engagement of social forces.  This has not been easy for many reasons and we are challenged to understand ourselves, our faith, our histories, and on this knowledge, we build a solid spirituality.
