What legal instrument defines the basic structure of government for an autonomous region? The basic structure of government for an autonomous region is exclusively defined by a specific piece of legislation universally known as the organic act. Congress is textually tasked with enacting this organic act with the crucial and collaborative assistance of a regional consultative commission. This particular act structurally dictates the creation of an executive department and a legislative assembly for the entire region. The requirement for the enactment of an organic act is located in Article X, Section 18, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “The organic act shall define the basic structure of government for the region consisting of the executive department and legislative assembly, both of which shall be elective and representative of the constituent political units.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
