WHATSOEVER A MAN SHALL COOK THAT SHALL HE ALSO EAT

Since the 1935 Constitution, the Presidential system has only produced a culture and tradition of corrupt and arrogant public officials who develop a hardened heart and a calloused conscience that lives hypocritically-- saying one thing but living differently. We must make a fundamental change in this culture and tradition that destroyed our country that placed us in decadence from the rest of the world. This can only be achieved through the Federal Republic Constitution.

This is the ugliest part of the Presidential government: everything that the Filipinos all over the country have produced through hard labor, go straight to the National government. It is where the Executive, the Congressmen, and the Senators get the lion’s share. Then the leftovers go to the Cabinet Secretaries, undersecretaries down the line to the Regional Directors who try to skim it further. After which, the residues are squeezed to the last drop to the respective regions down to the provinces for community development and infrastructure. The Filipinos cannot withstand anymore this kind of government which is actually the process of bastardization, in the sense, that it is the poor who are always getting the shortest end of the stick.

In the Federal Republic, the regions and the provinces are the ones that are tasked to develop their respective communities, invite and attract foreign direct investors to come easily into their areas by removing the 60-40 restriction to create jobs for the people. The revenue collections from all kinds of taxes go directly to them. The National government will just be given its share as provided under the law. This is the day that what you cook, you shall eat. Unlike the Presidential government that what you cook, another one eats.

Realistically, in the Federal Republic, the National government has no more control and domination over the people in the Regions and the Provinces because everything the National government had in its power will now be transferred and performed by the respective Regional States. Those in the provinces with important National concerns will transact their business no longer in Manila but already in the Regions or in the Provinces, as the case may be.

The anti-Federalism are saying that Federalism is the path to dictatorship, promote divisiveness, encourages double taxation, exemption of Congressmen from paying income tax, term extension, not decisive in economic development, no election, etcetera, they are all opposite of the truth. These are the people whose lives will abruptly turn from heaven into hell as the result of their golden goose being killed under Federalism. 

Now that you know, whatever this anti-Federalism say against it, why not laugh at them.
