What considerations guide the Philippine independent foreign policy?
The State is mandated to pursue a foreign policy that is independent from outside control. Relations with other nations must prioritize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Philippines. National interest and the right to self-determination are also paramount considerations. Article II, Section 7 1987 Philippine Constitution serves as the guide for all international interactions. “SECTION 7. The State shall pursue an independent foreign policy. In its relations with other states the paramount consideration shall be national sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interest, and the right to self-determination.” 30-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
