i must say that we are not that totally free and independent for several essential reasons.......

for instance,like any other nations in the world, we definitely need the help of the first world countries(especially USA) being the most progressive and influential among all other countries....

the American government, may have direct or indirect contact with the Philippines...be it in trade and industry, commerce and tourism, employment ..... or even in some necessary affiliations in the government...........

The Philippines has a democratic administration because it is governed by a constitution that outlines principles of democratic governance, such as separation of powers and regular elections. Efficient supervision is achieved through mechanisms such as checks and balances, accountability measures, and oversight bodies that help ensure government officials perform their duties effectively.

As of 2014, the Philippines is experiencing a growing economy, however, poverty and unemployment remain important problems. Corruption among some government officials, such as police officers, is another challenge the country is dealing with.

The Philippines has no Department of Housing. What it has is the National Housing Authority, but this office is not headed by a cabinet secretary.There is also the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, which has Vice President Jejomar C. Binay as Chairman.

There are 17 regions in the Philippines.

Section 14 is "No Senator or Member of the House of Representatives may personally appear as counsel before any court of justice or before the Electoral Tribunals, or quasi-judicial and other administrative bodies. Neither shall he, directly or indirectly, be interested financially in any contract with, or in any franchise or special privilege granted by the Government, or any subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including any government-owned or controlled corporation, or its subsidiary, during his term of office. He shall not intervene in any matter before any office of the Government for his pecuniary benefit or where he may be called upon to act on account of his office."
