Let’s call on my co-host Mr. Dondie for the introduction.

| INTRODUCTION |

Dondie: Thank you for that opening remarks, Ms. Jona. Now let me introduce to you all on what this training program is all about.

Our training program is for everyone, especially, those who want to further develop their leadership skills by entering a political party. In our contemporary society, many individuals want to voice out their interest and agenda to the general public, hence, they create their own organization.

In doing so, they engage themselves in electoral positions like in our national government and student councils. We call this entity as political parties where certain individuals are being elected in a political arena to pursue their agendas.

So we have conducted this to help you in understanding the basics of Political Parties. This will surely provide a good head start whenever you are planning to build your own organization and be secured in an elective position with the common goals in mind. Without further ado, let’s call on our dear speakers Mr. Vittorio, Ms. Quennie and Mr. Manuel to start the discussion.

ALL: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! Naninindigan na Dee ka iiwanan, Dee ka pababayaan!

Quennie: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I know most of you are wondering why we chose political parties as our topic and why should you even bother listening to us? What is the big deal about political parties?

Vj: Well, according to Article 2 Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution, the Philippines is a democratic and republican state. And the existence of political parties is one of the manifestations of that democracy. Their existence is regarded as an essential instrument to pursue democratic ideals. But what are political parties?

Manuel: Political parties are defined as “an organized group of individuals who agree on common political principles and platform in seeking to control the powers of government for national interest and also for their benefit”. So you see, political parties have three essential elements:

Quennie: First, it is an organization of men united on common political principles and platform. Second, there are candidates.

Vj: And third, there is a platform or program of government to pursue when in power. For example, the Deemocratic Party stands for the rights of deers. We aim to decrease the number of deers hunted every year because with the Deemocratic Party, All Life is sacred.

Manuel: Simply put, ladies and gentlemen, a political party is a group of individuals who share the same ideas on how the state should be run and its purpose is to win the election. But really, what are their functions?

Quennie: Well, they provide leaders to lead the country; they act as a link between the government and the people; they can check the government; they inform the people on issues; they advocate policies; and they unify people from all walks of life.

Vj: But, of course, like any other organizations, political parties need money to fund its activities. They get it from their group members or other groups who are willing to fund them.

Manuel: These activities include conferences, advertisements, and billboards. Political parties can also raise funds by negotiations with companies or personalities with the money to fund them and as such connection is everything!

Quennie: Political party system differ in each country. Some countries have only one political party like North Korea. Some countries have only two political parties like the US. While other countries have many political parties like the Philippines and here in our DLSU-D Community: the Sinag Political Party and the Sentro Political Party, which are the two major political parties in our university, and the Red Alliance. The R.E.D. Alliance is the youngest of the three, being founded on July 2014 with the thought of building a new political party which aims to give students a new choice when voting in the student elections.

Vj: Sinag Political Party is the oldest political party in DLSU-D. It was founded on December 8, 1999 by five student leaders from different colleges. Its mission is to develop students into quality leaders; to encourage individuals to transcend from mediocrity to excellence; and to live and uphold the core values of loyalty, commitment, dedication, support, and integrity.

Manuel: Sentro-LaSalle on the other hand was established as an issue-based political party aiming to (1) Pursue and uphold the rights of the students; (2) Promote the students’ welfare; (3) Raise awareness in current University and National issues; (4) Create Social Opportunities for social involvement and; (5) Emphasize the importance of our contribution in our nations’ struggle for a just and free society.

Quennie: So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, we hope we have provided you a background on the nature of political parties.

ALL: Once again: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! Naninindigan na Dee ka iiwanan, Dee ka pababayaan!

| TESTIMONIAL |

Jona: Thank you to our dearest speakers! For the next part of the program, we’ll witness a testimony from Sir Edwin F. Lineses, our Political Science professor and an expert in this field that we have interviewed. I hope everyone will be inspired by his words as he inspires and shared to us his knowledge on political parties.

MANUEL: Hi there, I am Manuel Dee of the Deemocratic Party running for President. And I am here to talk about democracy. Democracy was derived from the Greek words “Demos” which means people and “Kratos” which means to rule to simply put it, Democracy is the rule of the people. Our democracies today are subdivided into three branches, the Legislative who makes the laws, the Executive who makes sure that you obey the law, and the Judiciary who judge if you break the law. All the works of these three are fair and equal and must understand that they must also obey the law.

QUENNIE: Sino pa bang ang magsisimula ng pagbabago sa ating bayan?

ALL: E-DEE si Manuel!

VJ: Kelan pa ba magsisimula ang pagbabago?

ALL: E-DEE ngayon!

MANUEL: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that Krusty Krab employees deserve rights!

ALL: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that Winnie the Pooh also deserves a new shirt!

QUENNIE: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that fish are friends, not food!

ALL: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that life is beautiful, so stop smoking!

VJ: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that if Mulan can save China, this proves that men and women are equal!

ALL: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe that Dora has the right to explore so stop the Wall!

QUENNIE: Kami ang DEEmocratic party! We believe, most importantly, as they are our logo, deer have rights, so just deer with it! Otherwise, you’ll be “Oh deer!”

| RESTATEMENT |

Jona: A huge thank you to our lovely speakers! I’m happy to see that everyone is enjoying as they experience the demonstration given to us by Mr. Vittorio, Ms. Quennie and Mr. Manuel.

It’s is now my time to wrap everything up. According to Article 2 Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution, the existence of political parties is one of the manifestation of democracy since the Philippines is a democratic country.

Political parties is an organized group of individuals who have common political principles and and platform in seeking to control the powers of government for national interest and also for their benefits. Here in our DLSU-D community, we have 2 major political parties namely: SINAG and SENTRO political party.

We also have the RED Alliance who is a developing political party since it only started on July year of 2014. We learn a lot from our speakers today and to officially end the program, let’s call on my co- host Mr. Dondie for his closing remarks.

| CLOSING REMARKS |

Jona & Dondie: Thank you once again and for the last time, may we call on Mr. Vittorio, Ms. Quennie, Mr. Manuel and Ms. Michelle on stage.
