Politics
Politics encompasses all actions related to government, including voting, lobbying,
campaigning, and lawmaking. It involves the use of authority, decision-making, and
resource distribution. Examples include legislative bodies discussing new laws, political
campaigns where candidates present their policies and aspirations, and politicians
seeking to win elections through debates, protests, and media appearances.

Government
A nation, territory, or municipal government is governed by a government structure,
consisting of institutions, staff, and procedures. The democratic government of the
Philippines consists of legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The executive branch
executes the legislative process, exemplified by a bill approved by both houses and
signed into law.
Power
Political power is often defined as the ability to influence outcomes or behavior, often
seen as a means of control or coercion. However, it can also be seen as a relative and
self-oriented concept, where power is equal to or greater than another person's.

Authority
"Authority" refers to the legitimate capacity to control, make choices, and impose laws in
a specific setting. It can be transferred through societal, legal, or cultural channels. The
Philippine president, as the head of state and administration, has broad power,
recognized by the people and governing entities, based on the Philippine Constitution.
Democracy
Democracy is a government system where people participate in the political process,
originating from the Greek words "kratos" (rule) and "demos" (people). Different
democracies operate differently, with some involving direct voting on laws and policies,
and others like Australia where people elect representatives for decision-making.
Political culture
An idea of a country's political personality is its political culture. It covers the ingrained,
long-standing political characteristics that define a community. A society's attitudes,
values, and ideas regarding its political system—including common misconceptions
about how government functions—are all considered aspects of its political culture. In the
capacity as political scientist W. Political culture's constituent parts can be challenging to
study, as Lance Bennett points out. Bennett (1980) compared them to the lenses in a pair
of spectacles, saying that they are the objects we see through rather than what we see
when we look out at the world. People who share a common understanding of the
circumstances behind political events, acts, and experiences in their nation are better
able to form communities and communicate with one another.
Public policy
Public policy is the set of laws, rules, and measures implemented by the government to
achieve social and economic objectives. It influences politics, the economy, and society,
and informs government decisions. An example of public policy in action is a national
healthcare program, which includes government-funded facilities, medical expenses
subsidies, pharmaceutical company regulation, and public education campaigns. The
goal is to reduce healthcare access gaps, improve population well-being, and improve
overall health outcomes.
Public Trust
Public Trust given by the nations stakeholders to their respective leaders. It is anchored
by their social status influenced and ideologies. For instance, vas number filipino citizens
to President Bongbong Marcos. It is evident in their strict worship to the administration
deeds.
Governance
A systematic design of leadership which consists of leaders and stakeholders. An
example is Philippine practicing democracy. It is ruled by a president and is divided into
three branches, to which the stakeholders are deemed to choose.
Civil Case
Cases that involve individuals or institutional disputes. These cases usually revolve over
money or violation to personal rights. For an instance, a man reporting to court about his
neighbor.
