The Philippine 1987 Constitution holds greater authority than the powers of the Governor-General, as it serves as the supreme law of the land. While a Governor-General can have significant influence, especially during the colonial period, their powers are ultimately derived from and limited by constitutional provisions. In contemporary governance, the Constitution ensures the protection of democratic principles and civil rights, overriding any individual authority. Therefore, the Constitution is the more powerful legal framework.
A strict reading of the constitution would probably point to the governor-general, however realistically the Prime Minister (who isnt mentioned in the Constitution) would be the most powerful person in Government.

Canada has a Governor General because its head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, is shared by 15 other countries. Since the Queen resides in the UK, each other country, including Canada, has an official called the Governor General who, as the Queen's representative, performs with respect to that country the same role that the Queen performs with respect to the United Kingdom.

The Constitution Act, 1867 sets out that in section 105 that the Governor General of Canada is to be paid a salary of ten thousand pounds sterling of United Kingdom currency, and that the salary of the Governor General is the third charge upon the Consolidated Revenue Fund.It should be noted that the Act also sets out that the Parliament of Canada may alter the remuneration paid to the Governor General. Through the Governor General's Act, Parliament has set out that the Governor General's salary is $270,602 and is the second charge on the Consolidated Revenue Fund (rather than the constitution's prescribed third charge).
To perform ceremonial roles as required by our Constitution..steve can take it from there.
