On Thursday Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged a ¥1 trillion aid package to the Philippines, including government aid and private investments, over the next five years to help its infrastructure development and strengthen strategic ties with the key Asia-Pacific nation.
Japan’s support of the Philippines should include calls for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, similar to that of Finland, and adoption of the ideal of One World under One Set of Laws. International law should be given priority over domestic law and allowed to directly affect the rights and duties of the people. The Constitution should always be in sync with the times and designed to protect human rights while advocating democracy and the rule of law. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
