LOOK: Do you know what becomes of the Philippine Government if it shifts to Federalism?

The Consultative Committee submitted to President Rodrigo Duterte its draft revision of the 1987 Constitution. In this first of a series of fact sheets, we look at the new structure and powers of the "Federal Republic of the Philippines."

Based on this draft, VERA Files published a series of fact sheets highlighting notable items that were changed, added or deleted in the 1987 Constitution.

At least six of the 22 Articles in the proposed revision discuss how the Federal form of government will exist in the country; three of these contain amendments to existing Articles in the present Constitution – the Articles on the Legislative Department, Executive Department and Judicial Department.

The other three are entirely new Articles -- Federated Regions and the Autonomous Federated Regions of Bangsamoro and the Cordilleras; Distribution of Powers of the Government; and Fiscal Powers and Financial Administration.
