As Jose Rizal once said, “There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.” We must put our faith in the rule of law and not in any political figure. From the lowliest mayors up to the President, the Philippines is a nation of tyrants who are products of a corrupted constitution. We suggest that the Philippines engage in constitutional reform to introduce a modified semi-presidential system. Term limits for mayors and the president should be 5 years, and officials should be banned from running for the same office for 6 years after their term ends. Leaders of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be directly elected in alternating years. See the PPDA Charter.
