- Good Morning Classmate, we group 1 are assigned to discuss 1987 constitution.
- The Philippine Revolution reached a stalemate in 1897 when the revolutionary forces of General Emilio Aguinaldo fled to the mountains of Biak-na-Bato in San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan. The Spanish forces led by Gen. Miguel Primo de Rivera realized that even though they could crush the rebels in Bulacan, it did not mean the revolution would end for it wasalready widespread in the other provinces.
- In order to consolidate the forces still fighting in the other provinces, Aguinaldo met with his leaders to establish a recognized government. A revolutionary government had already been formed in March that year with Aguinaldo as President in Tajeros, San Francisco de Malbon (now General Trias) in Cavite. It was this government that was now in Biak-na-Bato.
- An assembly of Filipino rebel leaders were called and it was agreed that a republican form of government would be formed. Two Filipinos, Isabelo Artacho and Felix Ferrer were tasked to write a constitution. Both decided to adopt the previsions of the Constitution framed in Jimaguayu, Cuba and from this, the Constitution of Biak-na-Bato was formulated.
- The Constitution was promulgated by the Philippine Revolutionary Government onNovember 1, 1897, and became the provisionary constitution of the government during theRevolution against Spain.
- In spite of being a copied constitution, the Biak-na-Bato Constitution had its own unique features: its preamble reiterated the objective of the Revolution which was "the seperation of the Philippine from the Spanish monarchy and their formation into an independent state which its own government." The government that was formed was a Supreme Council composed of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary of the Interior, a Secretary of Foreign Relations, a Secretary of War, and a Secretary of the Treasury. This Council had sweeping powers of government which included the power to issue orders and other laws for the security of the State, to impose and collect taxes, to raise an army, to ratify treaties, and to convene an Assembly of Representatives." The official language was Tagalog.
- Lastly for this topic is,The judiciary power was vested in a Supreme Council of Justice, Articles XXII to XXV were essentially the Bill of Rights accorded in every Filipino. This constitution was to last only for two years during which, at certain periods, it was superseded by laws and decrees made by Aguinaldo.
- That would be all about The 1987 Constitution. Thank You!
