to the creation of a constitution for
the Philippines. Through the 1934
Constitutional Convention, a draft
of the Constitution for the
Philippines was produced. It was
ratified through a national
plebiscite on May 14, 1935. In

election for a second term. In
1945, the constitution was
again observed with the
liberation of the country.

government nullified the
constitution during the World War

several opposition to its
ratification, the 1973
Constitution was deemed
valid and was enforced.

restored, President Corazon Aquino issued
the suspension of several provision in the
1973 Constitution and promulgated a
transitory constitution through
Proclamation No. 3. The Constitutional
