What is the prime duty of the Philippine Government?
The government’s most essential duty is to serve and protect the Filipino people. To fulfill this responsibility, the government may call upon citizens to defend the State. Citizens may be required to perform personal military or civil service under specific legal conditions. Article II, Section 4 1987 Philippine Constitution outlines this mutual obligation between the state and its people. “SECTION 4. The prime duty of the Government is to serve and protect the people. The Government may call upon the people to defend the State and, in the fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required, under conditions provided by law, to render personal military or civil service.” 30-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
