Philippine Constitution and Republic Act 6713. Have enough knowledge about
updates and current events happening in the government.

Honestly, this part of the exam is kind of hard to many examinees because lots of

new laws. Heck, we must know some from now on.

MANILA, Philippines – Did you know that for every change in the constitution in the
Philippines, the President released a proclamation to commemorate the date when the
new charter took effect? This day is called Constitution Day.

Of all the constitutional changes the country went through, it's only the 1943
Constitution which did not have a corresponding proclamation.

President Corazon C. Aquino, through Proclamation No. 211 of 1988, assigned

February 2 of each year as Constitution Day to mark the new 1987 Constitution.

How well do you know the supreme law of the land? We're listing down some vital
information concerning one of the country's most important legal documents.

The Philippines has had 6 constitutions

The 5 constitutions started with the country's independence in 1898:

 The 1899 Malolos Constitution (1899-1901)

 The 1935 Constitution (1935-1943, 1945-1973)
 The 1943 Constitution (1943-1945)
 The 1973 Constitution (1973-1986)
 The 1987 Constitution (1987-present)

The 1973 Constitution, according to former Aquino spokesman Teodoro Locsin Jr, was
never ratified as the process conducted by then president Ferdinand Marcos Jr met
strong opposition.

The Aquino government had 3 options with regard to the law of the land:

 To revert to the 1935 Constitution. But because Marcos abolished the

bicameral legislature they had to resort to general elections.
 To retain the 1973 Constitution and be granted the power to make reforms.
This was shot down by Aquino as "she did not want to derive legitimacy
and power from the very institutions that she fought."
 To start anew and break from the "vestiges of a disgraced dictatorship."
FIRST. President Corazon Aquino addresses the 1986 Constitutional Commission during its inaugural
session. Photo from the Official Gazette

The 1986 Constitutional Commission drafted the Philippine

Constitution we now know

President Corazon Aquino in April 1986 created – through Proclamation No. 9 – the
1986 Constitutional Commission (ConCom), which was responsible for drafting a
replacement for the 1973 Constitution.

The new constitution, she said, should be “truly reflective of the aspirations and ideals of
the Filipino people.”

The 1986 ConCom was composed of 48 individuals who represented all sectors in the
country, including, among others, Bishop Teodoro Bacani, former Supreme Court chief
justice Roberto Concepcion, former labor minister (and eventually senator and foreign
affairs secretary) Blas Ople, Ateneo De Manila University president Father Joaquin
Bernas SJ, and University of the Philippines Student Council Chairperson (now
Commission on Human Rights chair) Chito Gascon.
More than ¾ of votes were in favor of the ratification of the
1987 Philippine Constitution

On February 2, 1987, a National Plebiscite was held after a nationwide information

campaign on the draft constitution.

The question voters had to answer was: "Do you vote for the ratification of the proposed
Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines with the ordinance appended thereto?"

Advertisement

The results of the 1987 plebiscite canvassed by the Commission on Elections based on
returns from 83,288 precincts – or a total of 21,785,216 votes – across the Philippines
are as follows:

On February 11, 1987, through Proclamation No. 58, Aquino announced the results of the
plebiscite and proclaimed the 1987 Philippine Constitution ratified. It took effect the same day.

The exact date of effectivity of the 1987 Constitution was on February 2, 1987.

The Constitution itself provides that it shall take effect upon its ratification by a
majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite held for the purpose. (Article XVIII, Section
27) This plebiscite was held on February 2, 1987.

While the result of the plebiscite was proclaimed only on February 11, 1987,
said proclamation merely confirms the act done by the people in adopting the Constitution
when they cast their votes on the date of the plebiscite. As held in De Leon vs. Esguerra,
the act of ratification is the act of voting by the people and not the ascertainment or
proclamation of the result.

Therefore, the exact date of effectivity of the 1987 Constitution is the date of its ratification
by the people during the plebiscite which was held on February 2, 1987.

regulation.

No, because it violates the right of the student to the due process and equal
protection of the law.
