In the Philippines, our Constitution, as authored by the Filipino people, has envisioned such a state of affairs in our government. This is set forth in Article II, Section 1: The Philippines is a democratic [xxx] society. The vesting of power to a single person has been denounced, as shown in Article VI, Section 31, which prohibits any law granting title of royalty or nobility to any person. Therefore, the governmental powers were distributed to the executive branch, the legislative branch, and judiciary. Each branch was designed to be co-equal and independent in the performance of their respective unique roles – the legislative makes the law, the executive carries out the law, and the judiciary interprets the law.
