Law-Abiding Community

It engages participants in a unitary full presidential republic model, following democratic processes. This setup is intended to enhance understanding and skills in governance and leadership, improve communication, and foster open-mindedness towards legislative and social issues.

The Community of Balzi is committed to maintaining its law-abiding status.

Balzi’s activities are protected under the Philippine Constitution, specifically the freedom of association (Article III, Section Eight) and the right to peaceful assembly (Article III, Section 4). These rights allow the Community to organize virtual and physical gatherings, engage in political simulations, and promote its educational objectives.
The Community of Balzi remains focused on providing a platform for political and educational engagement through structured programs and simulations. It serves as a virtual-physical community that facilitates innovative and enjoyable learning experiences in governance.
