List of The Constitution of the Philippines
The Constitution of the Philippines (Filipino: Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas) is the supreme law of
the Philippines. The Constitution currently in effect was enacted in 1987, during the
administration of President Corazon C. Aquino, and is popularly known as the "1987
Constitution".[1] Philippine constitutional law experts recognise three other previous
constitutions as having effectively governed the country �the 1935 Commonwealth
Constitution, the 1973 Constitution, and the 1986 Freedom Constitution.[2][3] Constitutions for
the Philippines were also drafted and adopted during the short-lived governments of Presidents
Emilio Aguinaldo (1898) and Jos�P. Laurel (1943).
Background of the 1987 Constitution
In 1986, following the People Power Revolution which ousted Ferdinand E. Marcos as president,
and following on her own inauguration, Corazon C. Aquino issued Proclamation No. 3, declaring
a national policy to implement the reforms mandated by the people, protecting their basic
rights, adopting a provisional constitution, and providing for an orderly transition to a
government under a new constitution.[4] President Aquino later issued Proclamation No. 9,
creating a Constitutional Commission (popularly abbreviated "Con Com" in the Philippines) to
frame a new constitution to replace the 1973 Constitution

Historical constitutions
Constitution of Biak-na-Bato (1897)
A later meeting of the revolutionary government established there, held on 1 November 1897 at
Biak-na-Bato in the town of San Miguel de Mayumo in Bulac 疣, established the Republic of Biak-
na-Bato. The republic had a constitution drafted by Isabelo Artacho and F駘ix Ferrer and based
on the first Cuban Constitution.[10] It is known as the "Constituci Provisional de la Rep 炻lica de
Filipinas", and was originally written in and promulgated in the Spanish and Tagalog
languages.Ratified on November 15, 1897.
Malolos Constitution (1899)
The Malolos Constitution was the first republican constitution in Asia.[12] It declared that
sovereignty resides exclusively in the people, stated basic civil rights, separated the church and
state, and called for the creation of an Assembly of Representatives to act as the legislative
body. It also called for a Presidential form of government with the president elected for a term
of four years by a majority of the Assembly.[13] It was titled "Constituci pol 咜ica", and was
written in Spanish following the declaration of independence from Spain,[14] proclaimed on
January 20, 1899, and was enacted and ratified by the Malolos Congress, a Congress held in
Malolos, Bulacan. The resulting Malolos Constitution was ratified on November 29, 1898, signed
into law on December 23, approved on January 20, 1899, sanctioned by President Emilio
Aguinaldo on January 21, and promulgated on January 22.
Acts of the United States Congress

3. The Philippines was a United States Territory from 10 December 1898 to 24 March 1934.[17] As
such, the Philippines was under the jurisdiction of the federal government of the United States
during this period. Two acts of the United States Congress passed during this period can be
considered Philippine constitutions in that those acts defined the fundamental political
principles, and established the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of the Philippine
government.
1.The Philippine Organic Act of 1902, sometimes known as the "Philippine Bill of 1902", was the
first organic law for the Philippine Islands enacted by the United States Congress. It provided for
the creation of a popularly elected Philippine Assembly, and specified that legislative power
would be vested in a bicameral legislature composed of the Philippine Commission (upper
house) and the Philippine Assembly (lower house). Its key provisions included a bill of rights for
the Filipinos and the appointment of two non-voting Filipino resident commissioners to
represent the Philippines in the United States Congress.
2.The Philippine Autonomy Act of 1916, sometimes known as "Jones Law", modified the
structure of the Philippine government by removing the Philippine Commission as the legislative
upper house, replacing it with a Senate elected by Filipino voters. This act also explicitly stated
that it was and had always been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw
their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and to recognise Philippine independence as soon
as a stable government can be established therein.
Though not a constitution itself, the Tydings 邦cDuffie Act of 1934 provided authority and
defined mechanisms for the establishment of a formal constitution via a constitutional
convention.
Commonwealth and Third Republic (1935)
Constitution of the Philippines (1935)
The 1935 Constitution was written in 1934, approved and adopted by the Commonwealth of the
Philippines (1935�946) and later used by the Third Republic of the Philippines (1946 �972). It
was written with an eye to meeting the approval of the United States Government as well, so as
to ensure that the U.S. would live up to its promise to grant the Philippines independence and
not have a premise to hold onto its possession on the grounds that it was too politically
immature and hence unready for full, real independence.The Commonwealth was created by
the Tydings-McDuffie Act, which was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1934. When Manuel L.
Quezon was inaugurated president in 1935, he became the first Filipino to head a government
of the Philippines.
Second Republic (1943)

4. The 1943 Constitution was drafted by a committee appointed by the Philippine Executive
Commission, the body established by the Japanese to administer the Philippines in lieu of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines which had established a government-in-exile. In mid-1942
Japanese Premier Hideki Tōjō had promised the Filipinos "the honor of independence" which
meant that the commission would be supplanted by a formal republic.Jos�P. Laurel was
appointed as President by the National Assembly and inaugurated into office in October 1943.
The New Society and the Fourth Republic (1973)
The 1973 Constitution, promulgated after Marcos' declaration of martial law, was supposed to
introduce a parliamentary-style government.
The Prime Minister was the head of government and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.
This constitution was subsequently amended four times (arguably five depending on how one
considers Proclamation No. 3 of 1986).
"Freedom Constitution" (1986)
Proclamation No. 3: Provisional Constitution of the Philippines (1986)
Following the EDSA People Power Revolution that removed President Ferdinand E. Marcos from
office, the new President, Corazon C. Aquino issued Proclamation No. 3 as a provisional
constitution. It adopted certain provisions from the 1973 constitution and granted the President
broad powers to reorganise the government and remove officials from office, and mandated
that the president would appoint a commission to draft a new constitution.

5. Zamboanga's Lokot-Lokot
I think the foreign market where i will send this product is on the middle east, beacuse lokot-
lokot was succesfully made by the muslims and it is ussually made during the Eid-il-Fitr, which
celebrates the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
And also in china bacause as what they said in the article of this product that the chinese people
are trying to immitate this produt but they can't so wich means they like the product.
Taho
is a Philippine snack food made of fresh soft/silken tofu, arnibal (brown sugar and vanilla
syrup), and pearl sago (similar to pearl tapioca). This staple comfort food is a signature sweet
and can be found all over the country.
I will export this product on America because many americans dont eat breakfast or they dont
eat meals properly so it is best substitue for their meals.
Delisha's Homemade Atchara
PAMPAGANA NA! MASUSTANSYA NA! ULAM PA! (It’s Appetizing! It’s Nutricious! It can
be a Main Dish!).
I would export it on China, Korea and Japan because they are known in eating raw foodsand
vegetables so im sure they will love this kind of food.
