President Rodrigo Duterte has given up on his push for a federal system of government.
During a recent virtual “Summit for Democracy,” Duterte said he respects the decision of Congress on the matter.
“My government worked to give the Filipino people the basic means to lead a life of dignity. This entails creating jobs, safeguarding peace and security, and instituting social safety nets,” according to the Chief Executive.
“My government also sought to broaden democratic participation through federalism, but my constitutional project did not get Congress support. So be it. I respect the separation of powers vital for democracy,” he added.
Duterte has been pushing for federalism and charter change since the 2016 presidential election.
