Do the autonomous regions operate outside the sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines? The autonomous regions absolutely do not operate outside the national sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines. Despite their broad and specialized powers of self-governance, their existence is strictly anchored within the constitutional framework of the national government. They must perpetually respect the national sovereignty and fiercely uphold the territorial integrity of the entire country. The legal bounds of their autonomous existence are expressly set forth in Article X, Section 15, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “…within the framework of this Constitution and the national sovereignty as well as territorial integrity of the Republic of the Philippines.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
