Unveiling the Formation of Political Identities of the Filipino Youth in Tacurong City,
Philippines

Youth’s civic and political engagement in different platforms has been prevalent
nowadays, particularly in the Philippines (International Institute for Democracy and Electoral
Assistance, 2010). Political interest is important as it leads to formation of political identities and
political efficacy (Schulz, 2005), which then constitutes participation (Prats & Meunier, 2016).
However, whether a youth has political interest or none, initiatives for effective political
participation are yet to be implemented due to a lack of funds and coordination, which is partially
attributed to decentralized governance (Hutter, 2008). Previous research only had political
participation as its prime focus, whereas there is still none regarding political identities. To
address this gap, six Filipino youths living in Tacurong City were purposively selected and
interviewed to determine their political identities and the primary drivers behind its development.
Participants were interviewed via Google Meet due to COVID-19 restrictions. Sta. Maria and
Diestro (2009) asserted in their study that youth’s enthusiasm in political matters is more likely
cultivated from exposure to social conditions, rather than in the small confines of classrooms
and family discussions. Likewise, results from this qualitative study exemplified societal issues,
information from news and media, and an individual’s relationship circle and school influence as
factors that stimulate political involvement, indicating that society plays a huge role in engaging
youth in politics and shaping their political identities. This study aims to explore the political
identities of youths and the factors initiating its formation, which can be a significant contribution
to knowledge on youth behavior and the reasons behind the differences in their political
attitudes. Additionally, findings from this study can potentially contribute to agencies seeking to
promote political activity among youth.
