What is the nature of the Philippine State and its sovereignty?
The Philippines is formally established as a democratic and republican State. It is fundamental that sovereignty resides in the people themselves. All government authority is understood to emanate from the citizenry. Under Article II, Section 1 1987 Philippine Constitution, this principle defines the core of the nation’s political identity. “SECTION 1. The Philippines is a democratic and republican State. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.” 30-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
