How Federalism works?
and
Why is it
Attractive
to
Filipinos?
States are empowered to make their
own decisions.
They no longer need to rely on the central government to
decide for them.
Advantages of Federalism
States shall keep more of their income
to themselves.
They do not have to rely on collecting real estate tax
and business permit fees - 80% of their total earned
income stays, while only 20% goes back to the
national government. Within the 80% budget that
remains with these states, 30% will be funneled to the
local state government, and 70% will be allocated to
the provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays.
Advantages of Federalism
Promote specialization and competition.
Since the national government turned certain administrative
powers over to the regional governments, it can now funnel
its resources more intensively towards the issues it is
assigned to, such as foreign policy and nationwide defense.
Likewise, the states are now better able to nurture their
individual strengths and selling points because the people
who have the decisions and funding are the people who are
personally involved in the state's development.
Advantages of Federalism
What
are
the
disadvantages
of
A
Federated
Philippines?
Overlaps in jurisdiction.
Unless responsibilities of state governments and
national governments are very clearly stated in the
amended Constitution, there will be ambiguities that
can lead to conflict and confusion.

Will promote Economic prosperity in
the region and provide incentives for
Filipinos to Live and Work outside
Metro Manila. Investors may also
decide to put up their businesses by
setting up the right policies.

Love of country, subordination
of personal interests to the
common good, concern and
care for the helpless and the
impoverished - these are
among the lost and faded
values that we seek to recover
and revitalize as we
commence our journey
towards a better Philippines.
PRESIDENT
RODRIGO DUTERTE
