A STUDENT GUIDE TO THE CITY COUNCIL: An Innovative Way to Provide Political Education


The need to inform the people especially the young and the advocacy to work for freedom from ignorance inspired me to come up with a user-friendly Student Guide to the Vigan City Council. This was patterned after Washington’s Student Guide to the Legislature, complete with educational games and mind teasers. This book aims to impart to the students basic knowledge on how the City Council works, what is its role in the society and basic information what local legislation is all about.



Political education is something new to our students but with this kind of Student Guide, they will be able to appreciate what governance means. Our young will be encouraged to become leaders and put a premium on politics as a respectable calling. The aim is to erase the mindset that politics is bad. Rather promote politics as the Art of Governance and entice good people to join it.
