Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Aquino government, in order to provide its government with democratic legitimacy, abolished the 1973 Constitution, scrapped the Batasan Pambansa, the Supreme Court, and local government units. It also drafted its own Constitution, which was four times longer than the US Constitution.

#2

The Aquino Constitution, despite its faults, is still the basis of the Filipino government.
