Support in the sense that if he’s decisions are acceptable for the people or group of people, he gets endorsed and applaud for the validity of his action.

If reasonable actions were already made but the peace among people is still missing, a President can declare Martial Law as his final resort. To lead the country in times of war is never easy. The President’s capacity to declare martial law in a time of chaos will be a great way for the President to fully think of what he should do while the country is on idle mode.

    The Philippines has a long history of democratic constitutional development. The Malolos Constitution of 1898-99 reflected the aspirations of educated Filipinos to create a polity as enlightened as any in the world (see The Malolos Constitution and the Treaty of Paris , ch. 1).

A bill of rights guaranteed individual liberties. The church was separated from the state, but this provision was included only after a long debate and passed only by a single vote. The Malolos Constitution was in effect only briefly; United States troops soon installed a colonial government, which remained in effect until the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935 (see Commonwealth Politics, 1935-41 , ch. 1).…
