Reality Check

Usa ka kahigayonan para ipahinumdum ang tinuod

nga kahimtang sa mga butang sa kalibutan
Kahigayunan sa matinud-anong pagtan-aw
sa usa ka butang
Kahigayunan sa pag tino sa tinuod nga kahimtang dili
base sa kaugalingong opinyon, ideya o pag-tuo.
Usa ka butang nga nagpakita nga ang tinuod nga
kahimtang lahi sa kaugalingong gituho-an o gipaabot.

How Will Federalism Help
The Country?

20
 Establishing Powerful Economic Regions

Federalism is not simply a political undertaking,

it is also an economic effort.

By creating federal regions we shall immediately

establish centers of power, finance and
development throughout the country.

21
 Equalization Fund

An Equalization Fund shall be established by the

Federal Government to provide more funding
support for those regions in need to accelerate
their development and progress

22
 Local Empowerment

Federalism allows regions to exercise right

to self-determination such as to address their
problems based on their own geographic,
cultural, social and economic conditions

23
 Incentives to Live, Work & Invest Outside Manila

Federalism will promote

economic opportunities in the
regions and provide incentives
for Filipinos to live and work in
regions outside Metro Manila.

More investors may also decide to put

up their businesses outside Manila
thus creating more jobs and
opportunities to attract more people
away from the congested mega cities.

24
 Decentralization and Devolution of Powers

Under the unitary

system, we only
have one center of
power, finance and
development: the
Imperial Metro-
Manila. Under Federalism,
more powers are
decentralized and
devolved to local
governments

25
26
 MODE TO REVISE
OUR CONSTITUTION

CON-ASS or CON-CON or Constitutional

Constituent Assembly, Convention, which will be
constituted by the composed by the Men and
incumbent Women of integrity,
patriotism and experts in
Congressmen and their respective fields
Senators whose members are
directly appointed by the
President. 27
 It is probable that the constitutional revision shall have
been completed not later than 2018 and submitted to the
people thru a plebiscite by 2019, coinciding with the
Mid-Term National Election;

From June, 2019 to 2020, sub-national government units

(regions), in accordance with the ratified Federal
Constitution, will make their respective Regional
organic laws, submit for approval to Parliament
and shall be ratified by the people thru a plebiscite

By 2020 to 2021, the process of effective, actual transition

from unitary to a federal government should take place.
