What is True Nationalism?
- Nationalism refers to the sense of identity and patriotism
among the Filipino people. It provides information on the
historical, political, and cultural context that influenced the
development of the Philippines as a nation and the
aspirations of its citizens for independence, unification,
preservation, and self-determination.

The Connection Between Politics and Democracy in

Pursuit of National Interest.
- The Nationalist Alternative, through the concept of
nationalism, gives a striking viewpoint on democracy
and politics. It looked into true nationalism to examine
the connection between democracy, politics, and the
pursuit of national interest.
 What are Colonialism and Imperialism’s Influences?
- Colonialism and imperialism led to the economic and
cultural exploitation of the Philippines. This economic
exploitation harshly influenced the human rights of
Filipinos, as it restricted them from accessing
necessities and economic opportunities.

Two Fundamental Characteristics of Nationalism as an

Ideology of Liberation.

1. Mass Population - Participation and identification of the

Filipino people in the nationalist struggle.

2. Anti-Imperialism - Resisting foreign exploitation,

domination, and cultural imposition.
 Application of Nationalism in the Philippines

• Filipino First Policy of Carlos P. Garcia (Late

1950’s).
- The goal is to re-establish economic independence.
- Prioritizing Philippine Economic Interests over American
Interests.
- Carrying out the Foreign Exchange Control (Forex Control)
which started the total economic mobilization towards
industrialization.
 Projected Application of Nationalism in the Society

• Constitutionalization of Nationalism as a course in

the Educational Curriculum of all Schools in the
Philippines. Constantino emphasizes the difficulties of truly
fulfilling the essence of nationalism and links it to the
misinformation that people believe. This then would address
the misinformation.

• Creation of Filipino-oriented Policies. By

creating more employment opportunities to the
Filipino people would prompt public support in
implementing nationalistic policies and this also
deters the country’s path to foreign dependency.
• Amendment of Article XII, Section 1, Paragraph 2 of
the 1987 Philippine Constitution. To strengthen the
economic autonomy by banning imports on
unnecessary products.
 Application of Nationalism in the Context of Democracy
• The Context of Democracy in Nationalism. Constantino
argued that the form of democracy practiced in the Philippines
was often superficial, serving the interests of the elite and foreign
powers. Democracy also went beyond mere formal political
processes and included economic and social justice. Nationalism,
in this sense, is a transitional historic phase wherein various social
strata with differing interests can unite for the time being for a
common cause. It is the only force that can bind diverse elements
in the struggle against imperialism.
• The Challenges in its Democratic System. Lack of Unity and
Clear Goals Among Political Leaders, Miseducation in
Nationalism, Involvement of Military in Political Affairs Poses a
Risk to Democracy.
 Application of Nationalism in Democracy by focusing on the
"National Infrastructure Renewal Project”

• Reform of the National Education System

• Fostering a Sense of Collective Responsibility

• Promotes a Sense of National Pride, Solidarity, and

Communal Responsibility among Residents by Focusing
on Domestic Development
