Federalism safeguard against dictatorship?

Chair, Committee on Constitutional Amendments
Deputy Majority Leader

Press Release
A FEDERAL CHARTER CAN PREVENT REPEAT OF DICTATORSHIP

A dictatorship ended in 1986. We are not going to let that part of our history repeat itself.  We are going through all this trouble to produce a charter that is much better than the 1987 Constitution   because we want to prove to future generations of Filipinos and to the world that it was this 17th Congress and the Duterte presidency that had the political will to build upon the successes and strengths of Philippine democracy.

A federal constitution will precisely give even more safeguards against dictatorship because of the dispersal or sharing of executive power, by dismantling the vestiges of Imperial Manila.

There are many concerns about federalism being abused by political dynasties. To address these concerns, we then ask the various sectors to seize the opportunity of this very public debate on charter change to present their proposals on how to convince non-traditional candidates to venture into politics and public service. Let us then give voters more options. Let us give new breeds of public servants the opportunities to enter politics.

It is not enough that critics oppose. It is much better for critics to propose solutions, present alternatives, raise options. We are here to listen and take a look at various ideas on how to make the federal constitution being drafted a much better charter than the 1987 Constitution.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
