Being a Filipino, it is important for me to express what I feel and need to
see and understand in our country and I also wanted my voice to be heard
in terms of political issues. It would be nice to live freely and practice
sovereignty in your own country. The hope of our country men is
dependent on our dedicated leaders. The law dividing the Philippines into
three regions, namely (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao), each constituting an
independent state and vesting in a central government matter of foreign
relation, national defence and national taxation is unconstitutional.
First, it violates Article 1, which guarantees the integrity of the national
territory of the Philippines because it divided into three regions. Second, it
violates Section 1, article 2 of the constitution, which provides for the
establishment of democratic and republic States by replacing it with three
States organized as a confederation.
Third, it violates Section 22, article 2 of the constitution which while
recognizing and promoting the rights of indigenous cultural communities,
provides for national unity and development. The sovereign geopolitical
entity called the Philippines as a federal republic.
The comparison of the different constitution of the Philippines are the
sovereign Filipino people imploring the aid of almighty God in order to
build and establish a government that shall embody our ideals and
aspirations, promote the general welfare, secure ourselves and posterity
the blessings of democracy under the rule of law and a regime of justice,
peace, liberty and equality, do ordain and promulgate this constitution.
The 1899 Malolos Constitution approved by the Malolos Congress on
November 29, 1898, draft returned by president Aguinaldo on December
1, 1898 for amendments, which the congress refused, approved by the
president Aguinaldo on December 23, 1898, formally adopted by the
Malolos Congress on january20, 1899, promulgated by the president
Emilio Aguinaldo on January 21, 1899.the 1935 as approved by the 1934
Constitutional convention on February 8, 1935, certified by the President
of the United States on March25, 1935 and ratified by plebiscite on May
14, 1935. The 1943 Constitution; as approved by the preparatory
committee on the Philippine Independence, September 4, 1943 and
ratified by the KALIBAPI convention, September 7, 1943. The !973
Constitution draft presented to president Marcos by the 1971
Constitutional Convention on December 1, 1972: deemed ratified by
Citizens’ Assemblies held from January 10 to 15, 1973, proclaimed in
force by Proclamation by President Marcos, January 17, 1973. The
present Constitution of the Philippines approved by the 1986
Constitutional Commission on October 12, 1986, the 1987 Constitution of
the Republic of the Philippines was presented to President Corazon C.
Aquino on Oct. 15, 1986. It was ratified on February 2 1987 by a
plebiscite. It was proclaimed in force on February 11, 1987
As a student, I think, the 1987 Constitution is not perfect but it’s a good
document, and I believe that it’s not the Constitution but it’s the leaders or
legislator. Constitution needs improvement to better address the situation
of Filipinos todays, and not by having a new one.
