Philippine political system

The Philippine political system is a democratic republic that operates under a constitution, with power divided among three branches: the Executive (President, who enforces laws), the Legislative (Congress, which makes laws), and the Judiciary (courts, which interpret laws). The President is elected nationwide and serves as head of state and government. Congress consists of the Senate and House of Representatives, representing regions and districts. Local governments have their own officials like governors and mayors. This system allows citizens to participate through voting, ensuring leadership accountability and the protection of rights within a framework of law.
