Hello Maris Racal,
I just wanna let you know that when I was in the 4th Grade, my Heograpiya Kasaysayan at Sibika (HEKASI) teacher already taught me about the 3 branches of the Philippine gov’t. These are: Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary.
We were also taught to remember that these three branches have a separation of powers wherein legislation belongs to Congress, execution to the Executive, and settlement of legal controversies to the Judiciary.
The Executive is composed of the President & Vice President. The Constitution grants the President authority to appoint his Cabinet.
The Legislative branch is divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives. They are authorized to make laws, alter, and repeal them.
The Judiciary is made up of the Supreme Court and the lower courts. This branch will tell you about the controversies involving rights and this identifies whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the gov’t.
That being uttered, we can say that the government can MULTITASK.
Cases in point:
*COVID is handled by the Executive.
*ABS-CBN franchise renewal is handled by the Legislative
*Maria Ressa’s Cyberlibel case is handled by the Judiciary
These all happened iN tHe miDdLe oF pAnDeMic. And I don’t know why you put all the blame to the President π
Just because there is corona virus doesn’t mean they need to stop with their functions. If we will follow your idea, then you are saying that we should not jail violators, we should not sanction terrorists, we shouldn’t allow lawbreakers to be held accountable on their mishaps because we need to focus on COVID19. If you don’t know what the government has done to combat COVID19, please review this link from Day 1 and thank me later: www.covid19.gov.ph
A graduate from PBB house can’t do this and I am pretty much sure you’re not aware of that.
Maris, I was in the 4th grade when I learned how the government works. How I wish we were classmates back then so I can give you free tutorials. Mag aral ka please, dami mo ng pera kaso lang bobita ka π€¦π»♂️π€¦π»♂️
