THE CONCEPT, RELATIONSHIP AND IMPORTANCE OF POLITICS,

GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNMENT
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS
Great day everyone! Buckle up! Be ready for the series of journey you are to take
today. Let us begin by excavating the significant concepts pertaining to politics,
governance and government. What do you think is the concept, relationship and
importance of these terms? Maybe you already have an idea about these. Lets’ take
a look at this.
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times

1
Looking at the images above, what term can we associate with it? You are
correct! Politics.
POLITICS
◆ Politics defined as that which concerns the state. It includes interactions between
states in the international arena; the activities of politicians; and activities such as
voting (in national, regional or local elections) through which individual citizens
engage with the state.
◆ Keller, Larry (2018) shared that politics is the process by which governance is
done.
◆ Young, Randy (2018) expresses that politics tend to be the viewpoint of the person
in power as to how he would treat those being governed.
◆ Karlson, Adamson (2015) states that politics is the study and methods of power.
◆ Durant, Eva (2018) articulates that politics is doing governing - through democratic
dialogue, voters are supposed to be aware/well informed of the choices offered by
the political parties, and at election times, make their choice accordingly for the
politics they deem to be the best chance to work in their interest.
◆ Denotes a social activity
◆ Creation, maintenance, and amendment of social norms or rules
◆ It is an art and science of the government
◆ It is the realm of public affairs of the state

2
Study the next set of images.
What about these pictures? What concept are they depicting? Yes, the
term government.
GOVERNMENT
◆ Business Dictionary defines government as a group of people that governs a
community or unit. It sets and administers public policy and exercises executive,
political and sovereign power through customs, institutions, and laws within a
state. A government can be classified into many types- democracy, republic,
monarchy, aristocracy, and dictatorship are just a few.
◆ It is the structure for governance.

3
◆ Durant, Eva (2018) explains that government is the set-up that governs - managing
the country, the economy, the main social institutions etc.
◆ It has “control and domination”
◆ It refers to a central institution which wields power over its subjects.
◆ It is being in command over the affairs of the people.
◆ It is always the main actor in governance.
◆ It is called the “public sector.”
◆ It is to study the exercise of authority. (Heywood, 1997)
◆ It is the government rules and controls.
◆ Good government also implies accountability, transparency, participation,
openness and the rule of law.
◆ It is a higher level of social order that exist primarily for the maintenance and
perpetuation of the community.
Now, let us move on to the third set of images.

4
Any reaction for the third set of pictures? Maybe you are confused because the
images are similar to the images in the second set. But no, don’t be confused, the
images are describing…Yes, governance!
GOVERNANCE
◆ The Webster’s Third New International Dictionary indicates that governance is a
synonym for government, or “the act or process of governing, specifically
authoritative direction and control”. Now let us see the concepts one by one, their
relationships, and its importance.
◆ Ruff, Dale (2019) defines it as the execution of power, in whatever forms, policies,
laws, decisions, etc. it chooses.
◆ It is the making of laws, policies, regulations, and distributing benefits to those who
are best represented through the political process and pain to the losers.
◆ It is the creation and implementation of policies in a political community, a polity.
◆ Blume, Klaus (2018) says, governance is the day to day administrative actions,
that are necessary to keep a modern society functioning.
◆ It would be the know-how and action to manage a government to achieve its
purpose.
◆ The word “governance” came from the Latin verb “gubernare,” or more originally
from the Greek word “kubernaein,” which means “to steer.” Basing on its
etymology, governance refers to the manner of steering or governing, or of
directing and controlling, a group of people or a state.
◆ It is the proper and effective utilization of resources.
◆ It has “decentralization and relational management.”
◆ It is associated with the concept of decentralization of power and the need for inter-
sectoral management.
◆ In broad terms, governance is about the institutional environment in which citizens
interact among themselves and with government agencies/officials. (ADB, 2005)
◆ Institute on Governance defines it as the process whereby societies or
organizations make their important decisions, determine who has voice, who is
engaged in the process and how account is rendered. (IOG, 2006)
◆ It is the act or process of governing which focuses on the effectiveness of the
executive branch of government.
◆ Governance involves interaction between the formal institutions and those in civil
society.

5
◆ Governance refers to a process whereby elements in society wield power,
authority and influence and enact policies and decisions concerning public life and
social upliftment.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF POLITICS TO GOVERNANCE:
1. Politics are how we feel about that process of governance- Governance
transcends government to encompass the business sector and the civil
society. NEDA (2006)
2. Politics talks about governments, institutions, power, order, and the ideals of
justice- Governance is essentially related to politics, in that politics is often
defined as the Art of governance.
3. Politics is broader than governance- Governance is broader than
government.
4. To study of politics is in essence to study government or more broadly, to
study the exercise of authority- Governance is based on the realization that
the government cannot do everything for the people, so that in order to
survive the state should not only rely on government but also on the other
sectors of the society.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF POLITICS TO GOVERNMENT:
1. Politics talks about governments, institutions, power, order, and the ideals
of justice- Political scientists broadened the meaning of governance as
including, not just government’s actors, but also civil-society actors.
2. Politics is the art of government, the exercise of control within the society
through the making and enforcement of collective decisions. (Heywood
1997)- “Government” and “governance” are interchangeably used, both
denoting the exercise of authority in an organization, institution or state.
3. The conception of politics and government move beyond the narrow realm
of government to what is thought as “public life” or “public affairs.”-
Government can therefore be seen as one of the institutions in governance;
it is not possible to have governance without government. (Heywood, 1997)
THE RELATIONSHIP OF GOVERNANCE TO GOVERNMENT:
1. Governance transcends government to encompass the business sector and
the civil society. NEDA (2006). While government can have a connotation of
being interested only in maintenance and in preserving peace and order,
governance implies leadership toward societal development.
2. Governance is essentially related to politics, in that politics is often defined
as the Art of governance- Political scientists broadened the meaning of
governance as including, not just government’s actors, but also civil-society
actors.
3. Governance is broader than government- Government is almost always the
main actor in governance.
4. Governance is based on the realization that the government cannot do
everything for the people, so that in order to survive the state should not only
rely on government but also on the other sectors of the society- The main
6
role of the public sector or government is to provide an enabling environment
for the other actors of governance to participate and respond to the mandate
of the common good.
5. Governance is especially important in the public sector or government
because you’re dealing with the public’s money, according to Adjunct
Professor Nigel Phair GAICD, the director of the Centre for Internet Safety
at the University of Canberra- “Government” and “governance” are
interchangeably used, both denoting the exercise of authority in an
organization, institution or state.
6. Governance issues pertain to the ability of government to develop an
efficient, effective, and accountable public management process that is open
to citizen participation and that strengthens rather than weakens a
democratic system of government- Government can therefore be seen as
one of the institutions in governance; it is not possible to have governance
without government. (Heywood, 1997).
7. Governance transcends government to encompass the business sector and
the civil society. NEDA (2006) - The exercise of authority is uppermost in
government and remains significance in governance but is no longer the
single focus. (UNDP, 2005).

POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES
An ideology is a system of political beliefs; an action oriented set of political

ideas. Many define ideology as the world view of a particular social class or a social
group; the ideas of the ruling class. The term ideology was first coined by Antoine
Destutt de Tracy during the French Revolution. He referred ideology to the new
science of ideas.
Ideology offer an account of the existing order, usually in the form of world view.
It also advance a model of desired future, or a vision of good society. Further, ideology
can explain how political change can and will be brought about.
In social studies, a political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles,

doctrines, myths or symbols of a social institution, class or large group that explains
how society should work and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain
social order. For instance, President Duterte has described himself as left-
leaning during his campaign and presidency, but has stressed that he was not a
communist, but a socialist.
A political ideology largely concerns itself with how to allocate power and to
what ends it should be used. Some political parties follow a certain ideology very
closely while others may take broad inspiration from a group of related ideologies
without specifically embracing any one of them. The popularity of an ideology is in part
due to the influence of moral entrepreneurs, who sometimes act in their own interests.
Political ideologies have two dimensions: (1) goals: how society should be organized;
and (2) methods: the most appropriate way to achieve this goal.
Some political ideologies are:
1. Anarchism- the central belief that political authority in all forms and
especially in the form of the state is both evil and unnecessary. Example: gender
equality can be a common principle but ranks as a higher priority to anarcha-feminists
than anarchist communists.

20
2. Conservatism- the desire to conserve and is reflected in a resistance to, or
at least suspicion of, change. The central themes are tradition, human imperfection,
organic society, authority and property. Example: Traditional marriage consisting of
two individuals with opposite sex.
3. Fascism- its core theme is an idea of an organically unified national

community, embodied in a belief in ‘strength through unity.’ individual in a literal sense,
is nothing; individual identity must be entirely absorbed into the community or social
group. Example: Fascism can destroy entrepreneurial spirit, thus limiting the
innovation that creates jobs, more tax revenue, and higher stock prices.
4. Liberalism- its core theme is a commitment to the individual and the

construction of the society in which individuals can satisfy their interests or achieve
fulfilment. Examples: Weekends, paid vacation, paid overtime, paid maternity leave,
desegregation, abolishing slavery, allowing women to vote, protecting the young,
protecting the disabled, protecting the elderly, religion-free education, freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly, right to protest, right to die, right to choose.
5. Socialism- opposition to capitalism and its attempt to provide a more

humane and socially worthwhile alternative. A middle point between capitalism and
communism. Example: Workers (unlike capitalists) must sell their labor power to make
a living.
6. Capitalism- an ideology that is focused on profit, and production is privately

owned. Example: Singapore had an amazing period of economic development to get
to where it is today. It became a manufacturing and financial center because of its
open economic policies. Singapore is a great example of capitalism. It has low taxes
and freedom for businesses to operate and trade internationally.
7. Nationalism- an ideology that promotes the interests of a particular nation

especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation’s sovereignty over its
homeland. One example is the Made in the Philippines campaign. The premise behind
this campaign is that materials made in the Philippines are superior to products made
in China, for example.
8. Feminism- this aims to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic,
personal and social equality of the sexes. Example: Right to vote is granted to both
male and female.
It is important to realize that ideology is not just something that is important to

politics or politicians. Ideology influences all of our lives, but in works in such a way
we often unaware of its influences.

POWER
Politics always involved the use of power in getting things done. Power is
manifested in the ability to do something that is desired and can be sensed when
individuals can direct the actions of others in a society. It is considered as a key
ingredient in politics that often implies control and has something to do with influence
and authority.
Power based on its nature can be subdivided into four namely: power over,
power to, power with, and power within. First, Power over is the ability to dominate
another person or a group and often seen negatively because it is associated with
force, threat, coercion, discrimination, corruption, and abuse. Second, Power to refers
to the unique potential of every person to shape his or her life and world. It describes
the ability of a person/group to do something on one’s own sources: intellect,
resources, knowledge, stamina and etc. Third, Power with is similar also to “power to”
since it is based on mutual support, solidarity, and collaboration that reflects the ability
to work with others to get something done by cooperation. Lastly, Power within has to
do with a person’s sense of self-worth and self-knowledge which includes the ability
to recognize individual differences while respecting others.
Steven Lukes describes power as having three dimensions and has divided
power into three distinct ‘faces’, each focusing on a specific aspect of power. It may
take the form of decision making, agenda setting and preference shaping. Power as
Decision Making involves the ability to control or influence in an open and direct way.
A concrete example would be the government making decisions on behalf of the
people. Power as Agenda Setting can be seen as not just about decision making, it is
about preventing decisions being made or reducing the choices which can be made.
A classic example would be topics/agendas being discussed in a meeting. The one
who holds power can decide or limit what will be discussed and more importantly what
cannot be discussed, effectively controlling the situation. Power as Preference
Shaping works by influencing how individuals think about their place in the world. This
shapes people’s beliefs, sense of self, and acceptance of their own superiority or
inferiority.
35
In 1959, social psychologists John R. P. French and Bertram H. Raven
identified five sources/forms/types of power from which a person gets power. These
sources are now known as French and Raven's Five Bases of Power. These include
referent power, expert power, legitimate power, coercive power, and reward power.
Referent powers comes from the power holder's ability to persuade or influence others
while expert power is derived from the power holder's specific skills or expertise. Both
referent and expert power are often classified under individual or personal power. On
the other hand, legitimate power, coercive power and reward power are classified
under organizational power. Legitimate power comes from the power holder's position
and duties within an organization. Coercive power arises from the power holder's
ability to punish or penalize others. Reward power comes from the power holder's
ability to give something of value, such as money, responsibility or praise.
The use of referent and expert power often results in commitment while
compliance is seen as a result of using legitimate and reward power. The use of
coercive power resulted in resistance since majority of the people don’t want to feel
threatened or forced to do something out of their own free will. Some of the positive
effects of power includes boosting of people’s morals and encouraging them to
achieve their goals. It also can enhance people’s motivation to help others thereby
creating a domino effect. Abuse of power and corruption are some of the negative
consequences of the use of power. People who gained power tend to put themselves
ahead of others that they react negatively if their power and competence are
questioned.

NATION STATE AND GLOBALIZATION
The role of the nation-state in globalization is a complex one due to the varying
definitions and shifting concepts of globalization. While it has been defined in many
ways, globalization is generally recognized as the fading or complete disappearance
of economic, social, and cultural borders between nation-states. Some have theorized
that nation-states, which are inherently divided by physical and economic boundaries,
will be less relevant in a globalized world.
While increasingly reduced barriers regarding international commerce and

communication are sometimes seen as a potential threat to nation states, these trends
have existed throughout history. Air and sea transportation that made same-day travel
to other continents possible and greatly expanded trade among countries did not
abolish the sovereignty of individual nations. Instead, globalization is a force that
changed the way nation-states deal with one another, particularly in the area of
international commerce.
Globalization also creates a sense of interdependence among nation, which

could create an imbalance of power among nations of different economic strengths.
The role of the nation-state in a global world is largely a regulatory one as the
chief factor in global interdependence. While, the domestic role of the nation-state
remains largely unchanged, states that were previously isolated are now forced to
engage with one another to set international commerce policies. Through various
economic imbalances, these interactions may lead to diminished roles for some states
and exalted roles for others.
A nation is a stable community of humans formed on the basis of a

common language, territory, history, ethnicity, or psychological make-up manifested
in a common culture.
A state is a territory with its own institutions and populations. A nation is a

large group of people who inhabit a specific territory and are connected by history,
culture, or another commonality.

EVOLUTION OF PHILIPPINE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE
The historical development of Philippine Politics and Government can be

studied through its evolution from the Pre-historic period which contributed to the
formation of modern Philippine Politics and Government.
The Pre-Spanish Government
The early Filipinos had a government which they called “Balangay”.The head
or the leader was called a Datu or Rajah who was assisted by the elders in the
community. All powers of the government were exercised by the datu or rajah. He was
the chief executive, law giver, chief judge and military head. There are three social
classes at that time namely: The Maharlika (Nobles), the Timawas (Freemen) and the
Alipin (Slaves). The Datu or the Rajah came from the Maharlika (The upper class).
Government in the Philippines under the Spanish Rule

The Philippines was governed indirectly by the King of Spain through the
Viceroy of Mexico. When Mexico, also a former colony of Spain gained her freedom
in 1821, the Philippines was ruled directly by Spain until 1898.The government
established in the Philippines was centralized. The national government was headed
by a Spanish Governor General, who was appointed by the King of Spain. The
Governor-General was at times called the “Representative of the King of Spain” or the
“Little King in the Philippines”. In theory, he was the highest government official in the
country, and practice frailocracy “Rule of friars” existed thus overpowering the
Governor General. Below the national government was the Alcaldia (Provinces)
headed by the Alcalde Mayor, the Pueblos (Towns) which were led by the
Gobernadorcillo (little governor) and the barangays which were led by the Cabeza de
Barangay. Andres Bonifacio organized the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary
organization of the Filipinos. Its aim was a complete separation from Spain. It
precipitated the Philippine Revolution on August 26, 1896 (De Leon & De Leon, 2014).
It was replaced by another government when it was discovered by the Spanish

61
authorities. The new government was headed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo as President
in the Tejeros Convention held on March 22-23, 1897.
The Biak-Na-Bato Republic was created by Gen. Aguinaldo on November 1,
1897. Its aim was separation from Spain and formation of the Philippines as an
independent state. The Republic existed until December 15, 1897, with the signing of
the Pact of Biak-Na-Bato. It resulted in the Revolutionary exile of Aguinaldo and his
men to Hongkong provided that General Primo de Rivera would pay $800,000. On
May 24, 1889, Gen. Aguinaldo established a dictatorial government when he returned
from his exile in Hongkong. The notable achievements of the Dictatorial Government
were: 1) the proclamation of Philippine Independence at Kawit, Cavite on June 12,
1898; and 2) the reorganization of local governments. A Revolutionary Government
replaced the Dictatorial Government still with Gen. Aguinaldo as the head. On January
23, 1899, the first Philippine Republic was established with Gen. Aguinaldo as the
President.
The Government during the American Regime

The Americans started the military rule in the Philippines on August 14, 1898.
The president of the United States delegated his authority to the military governor who
exercised all powers of the government (until the war lasted) - executive, legislative
and judiciary. The Spooner Amendment ended the military regime in the Philippines.
It was changed into civil government headed by Civil Governor on July 4, 1901. The
title was changed to Governor General on February 6, 1905. The Governor General
has legislative powers, and he was the President of the Philippines commission from
1901-1907. The Philippine Commission was the sole law making body of the
Government. Eventually, this became the upper house of the legislative department
of the Philippine Assembly (Created by Philippine Bill of 1902) as the lower chamber.
The Jones law of 1916 which became the fundamental law for the Philippines vested
the legislative power in an all- Filipino law-making body composed of the Philippine
Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Commonwealth Government

The Tydings-Mcduffie Law in 1934 established the Commonwealth
Government. It was a form of government in transition toward independence. It provide
for a ten-year transition period after which the Philippine independence would be
Proclaimed and established. The Commonwealth Government was inaugurated on
November 15, 1935. The first National Election in the country was held September 12,
1935. Manuel L. Quezon was the President, and his Vice-President was Sergio
Osmena. The Commonwealth Government functioned in exile during World War II in
Washington, USA, from May 13, 1942 to October 3, 1944 after which it was re-
established in Manila on February 27, 1945. The USA turned over to a Filipino
President the full powers and responsibilities of the Commonwealth Government
under the 1935 Constitution.

62
The Government under the Japanese Occupation
The Japanese military administration was established in Manila on January 3,

1942. A civil government which was called the Philippine Executive Commission was
established with Jorge B. Vargas as chairman. It had legislative and executive powers
but laws enacted though were subject to approval by the Commander-in-Chief of the
Japanese forces. On October 14, 1943, the Japanese-sponsored Philippine Republic
with Jose P. Laurel as the President was inaugurated.
The Presidents of the Philippines
Since independence in 1898 and the ratification of the Philippine Constitution in the
First Republic, there have been 16 presidents. Starting with General Emilio
Aguinaldo all the way to current president Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
General Emilio Aguinaldo

One way to remember the first president of the Philippines First Republic is to

at the celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. He led the Filipinos in fighting
against the Spaniards and the Americans.

GOVERNANCE
Name: ____________________________ Grade Level: __________
Section: ___________________________ Date: ________________
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT
The Executive branch carries out laws. It is composed of the President and
the Vice President who are elected by direct popular vote and serve a term of six
years. The Constitution grants the President authority to appoint his Cabinet. These
departments form a large portion of the country’s bureaucracy.
Key roles of the executive branch include:
• President – The President leads the country. He/she is the head of state, leader
of the national government, and Commander in Chief of all armed forces of the
Philippines. The President serves a six-year term and cannot be re-elected.
• Vice President – The Vice President supports the President. If the President is
unable to serve, the Vice President becomes President. He/she serves a six-
year term.
• The Cabinet – Cabinet members serve as advisors to the President. They
include the Vice President and the heads of executive departments. Cabinet
members are nominated by the President and must be confirmed by the
Commission of Appointments.
Eligibility
Article 7, Section 2 of the Constitution reads: "No person may be elected

President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able
to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident
of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election."
The Constitution also provides term limits where the president is ineligible for
re-election and a person who has succeeded as President and has served as such for
more than four years will be ineligible to be elected for a second term.

83
Election
The president is elected by direct vote every six years, usually on the second
Monday of May.
The returns of every election for President and Vice President, duly certified by
the board of canvassers of each province or city, shall be transmitted to Congress,
directed to the president of the Senate. Upon receipt of the certificates of canvass, the
president of the Senate shall open all the certificates in the presence of a joint public
session of Congress not later than 30 days after Election Day. Congress then
canvasses the votes upon determining that the polls are authentic and were done in
the manner provided by law.
The person with the highest number of votes is declared the winner, but in case
two or more have the highest number of votes, the president is elected by a majority
of all members of both Houses, voting separately on each.
Powers of the President
Besides the constitution, the powers of the President of the Philippines are
specifically outlined in Executive Order No. 292, s. 1987, otherwise known as the
Administrative Code of 1987. The following powers are:
1. Power of control over the executive branch
The President of the Philippines has the mandate of control over all the
executive departments, bureaus, and offices. This includes restructuring,
reconfiguring, and appointments of their respective officials. The Administrative
Code also provides for the President to be responsible for the abovementioned
offices’ strict implementation of laws.
2. Power ordinance power
The President of the Philippines has the power to give executive

issuances, which are means to streamline the policy and programs of an
administration. There are six issuances that the President may issue. They are
the following as defined in the Administrative Code of 1987:
Executive orders — Acts of the President providing for rules of a general
or permanent character in implementation or execution of constitutional or
statutory powers shall be promulgated in executive orders.
Administrative orders — Acts of the President which relate to particular
aspects of governmental operations in pursuance of his duties as the
administrative head shall be promulgated in administrative orders.
Proclamations — Acts of the President fixing a date or declaring a status
or condition of public moment or interest, upon the existence of which the
operation of a specific law or regulation is made to depend, shall be
promulgated in proclamations which shall have the force of an executive order.

84
Memorandum orders — Acts of the President on matters of
administrative detail, or of subordinate or temporary interest which only concern
a particular officer or government office shall be embodied in memorandum
orders.
Memorandum circulars — Acts of the President on matters relating to
internal administration, which the President desires to bring to the attention of
all or some of the departments, agencies, bureaus, or offices of the
government, for information or compliance, shall be embodied in memorandum
circulars.
General or special orders — Acts and commands of the President in his
capacity as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines shall be
issued as general or special orders.
3. Power over aliens
The President of the Philippines has certain powers over non-Filipinos

in the Philippines. The powers he may exercise over foreigners in the country
are as follows:
• The chief executive may have an alien in the Philippines deported

from the country after due process.
• The President may change the status of a foreigner, as prescribed
by law, from a non-immigrant status to a permanent resident status
without necessity of visa.
• The President may choose to overrule the Board of Commissioners
of the Bureau of Immigration before their decision becomes final and
executory (after 30 days of the issuance of the decision). The Board
of Commissioners of the Bureau of Immigration has jurisdiction over
all deportation cases.
• The president is also mandated by the Administrative Code of 1987
to exercise powers as recognized by the generally accepted
principles of international law.
4. Powers of eminent domain, escheat, land reservation and recovery of ill-gotten

wealth
The President of the Philippines has the authority to exercise the power
of eminent domain. The power of eminent domains means the state has the
power to seize or authorize the seizure of private property for public use with
just compensation. There are two constitutional provisions, however, that limit
the exercise of such power: Article III, Section 9 (1) of the Constitution provides
that no person shall be deprived of his/her life, liberty, or property without due
process of law. Furthermore, Article III, Section 9 (2), provides that private
property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation.
Once the aforementioned conditions are met, the President may
exercise the power of eminent domain which are as follows:
85
Power of eminent domain — The President shall determine when it is
necessary or advantageous to exercise the power of eminent domain in behalf
of the national government, and direct the solicitor general, whenever he deems
the action advisable, to institute expropriation proceedings in the proper court.
Power to direct escheat or reversion proceedings — The President shall direct the
solicitor general to institute escheat or reversion proceedings over all lands transferred
or assigned to persons disqualified under the constitution to acquire land.
5. Power of appointment
The President may appoint officials of the Philippine government as

provided by the constitution and laws of the Philippines. Some of these
appointments, however, may need the approval of the Committee on
Appointments (a committee composed of members from the House of
Representatives and the Senate of the Philippines).
6. Power of general supervision over local governments
The President of the Philippines, as chief executive, has the mandate to

supervise local governments in the Philippines, despite their autonomous status
as provided by Republic Act No. 7160 otherwise known as the Local
Government Code of 1991.
7. Other powers
Aside from the aforementioned powers of the President of the

Philippines, he can also exercise powers enumerated in the constitution, and
powers given to him by law. (Diplomatic power, Budgetary power, military
power, control power, veto power and other stated in the constitution)

Philippines: President Granted Temporary Extraordinary Powers to Combat

COVID-19
(Apr. 30, 2020) On March 25, 2020, the Philippine government announced the
approval of Republic Act 11469, a law granting extraordinary powers to President
Rodrigo Duterte aimed at combatting COVID-19.
Specifically, section 4 of the law authorizes the president to execute a wide variety
of financial and operational measures to address the pandemic, including the
following:
•
• The government’s national budget is to be realigned due to the health crisis. Thus,
all unspent, unutilized, or unreleased special purpose funds sourced from
collections or receipts may be utilized by the president and are appropriated for
addressing the COVID-19 situation.
•
• These funds will be used to provide approximately 18 million low-income
households with a monthly emergency subsidy.
•
• In addition, public health workers will receive a COVID-19 risk allowance, in
addition to hazard pay.
•
• The president may transform certain public hospitals (including the Philippine
General Hospital) into medical facilities dedicated to treat COVID-19 cases.
• He may also temporarily request that the operations of privately-owned hospitals
and health facilities be directed toward housing health workers or serving as
quarantine areas.

92
• The president may take over the operations of private companies that unjustifiably
refuse or signify that they are no longer able to operate due to the outbreak.
• He can take pertinent measures aimed at protecting people from hoarding,
profiteering, and price manipulation.
• He may require businesses to prioritize and accept contracts to deliver necessary

services and materials, and to expedite the production of essential medical
equipment and protective gear, subject to fair and reasonable terms.
The president must submit a weekly report to Congress of all acts performed and
funds utilized pursuant to the act during the preceding week. The report must
include the amount and utilization of the funds used, reprogrammed, and realigned.
(§ 5.)
The act will be in force for three months unless extended by Congress. The powers
granted under the act may be ended sooner by a concurrent resolution of Congress
or by presidential proclamation. (§ 9.)

LEARNING ACTIVITY 4 – RESEARCH WORK!
.
Make a research about the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, officially
designated as Republic Act No. 11479, which was signed into law by
President Rodrigo Duterte last July 3, 2020, whose stated intent is to prevent, prohibit
and penalize terrorism in the Philippines. The new law penalizes, among others,
incitement of terrorism by “means of speeches, proclamations, writings, emblems,
banners or other representations.” Progressive organization and human rights groups
denounced the passage of the anti-terror bill as they feared it might be prone to abuse,
human rights violations, and silence critics.
Based from your readings, make a REACTION PAPER about the issue.
