Uhuh how about you Ella? do you remember the second one?
It is the 1899 Malolos Constitution right? Hmm The constitution emphasizes popular governance, which implies that a legislative body, which is representative of the people, is granted absolute authority. This implies that the legislative body, which at the timewas the Malolos Congress, would choose the President as wellas the judiciary, including the Supreme Court.
HAAHAH btw you are right Ella! I think it is better if we discussed to each other what we had learned about the seven Philippine Constitutions that framed in our country
It has its own distinct features: its preamble reaffirmed the Revolution's goal of "separating the Philippines from the Spanish monarchy and forming them into an independent state with their own government."
Okay, I'll start. The first one is about the 1897 Constitution of Biak-na-Bato.

Okay then, let me share to you guys what I have learned in the third one which is the 1935 Constitution and the Commonwealth Government
Well for the fifth constitutions , it is the The 1973 Constitution and the Marcos Dictatorship. In this constitutions, it provides for a parliamentary system of government, with the President serving as the ceremonial head of state and the Prime Minister serving as the head of government.
In this constitution, the General Auditing Office was established by the 1935 Constitution, which listed the composition, powers, and responsibilities of the three parts of government (executive, legislative, and judiciary).
While the fourth one is the Japanese Occupation and the Second Philippine Republic (1943 Constitution). It was only functional for the period of the war, hence it was only temporary. It established a republic with three branches (executive, legislative, and judiciary), although no legislature was constituted due to the conflict.
The sixth constitutions is The Freedom Constitution (1986). Well this constitution was intended as transitional constitution to ensure democracy and the freedom of the people. The President continued to exercise legislative powers until a legislature was convened under a new constitution.
I don't think I can elaborate everything individually because it's already time.
And finally for the last constitutions, it is the 1987 Constitutions. It consist of 18 articles with a preamble.
After that they all got a high scores on their recitation! :)
It's alright Ella! I think we are all ready for the recitations! Thanks guys.
