`1. Identify one important law in the Philippines. Why do you say so?

 One important law in the Philippines is the 1987 Constitution. It is because this constitution is
all about the formation of a government and without it, there will be no proper authority to
create, administer and interpret laws that creates peace and order to our country. The
constitution also gives importance to the rights of each Filipino to live in a just and humane
manner devoid of harassment, persecution, and with proper jurisdiction. Lastly, it also states
the boundaries of the rights that are privileged to us.

2. Irrelevant law in the Philippines?

 Article 247 of the Revised Code. It states that you can “legally” inflict any serious physical
injury or kill your husband and/or his “kabit” whenever surprised or in the scene where the
two are having sexual intercourse. The expected outrage and the need to vindicate one’s
honor would form the rationale of why killing is allowed under these circumstances. Despite
this, our group is still against this law because killing people voluntarily is still a crime for us
since every person has a right to live.
