More than 3 years from ascending the seat of power in Malacanang
or more than half in his term President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is still looking a
Federalism as a far-fetched dream.
One of the campaign promises of then Davao City mayor is the
change of government from its present set up of Presidential to the Federal set
up.
And a lot of political analyst where in agreement if there is a change
of government in the country, Duterte can do it because of the mass support in
both houses of Congress and he has more than the majority trust of the public.

The President now is open to the possibility that the shift to
federal form of government will not be a reality in his lifetime.
But he said, that local officials should atleast amend the 1987
Constitution if they cannot implement Federalism, which he has been saying to the public that would pave way to
the full development of Mindanao.
“If you do not want federalism, fine, but change the Constitution
that would change this nation,” the President said in Malacanang after the oath-taking of local officials.
“And for all of the brightest
who crafted that constitution, son of... they did not see the simplest
fact that money buys everything including political party,” Duterte
said during the 121st anniversary of the Philippine Navy last June 17.
“And who benefits? The rich...It’s really a disaster,” he added.
