If you were given the chance to change the government of the Philippines which do think would be the appropriate government?

Good question! For me, a parliament form of government is a good alternative form than the present Philippine government because there are only few people that can handle political positions in the country. This means that only few are able to access power. Because only few people are in power, the people could monitor the activities of the government, there are no rooms for corruption and "under the table" activities because one could easily pin point who is to blame. A transparent government is what the Philippines need!
