Moreover, Article 7 section 2 of the 1987 Constitution

provided that, “Amendments to this Constitution may

likewise be directly proposed by the people through
initiative upon petition…” There is no such initiative
happened before the drafting of the federal Constitution.
Additionally, according to the data conducted by Pulse
Asia, 67% out of the 1,800 respondents answered “No,
should not be amended now.” It manifests that this is not
the right time to amend the Constitution. Federalism
would only fuel the already divided country. It would
create challenges to our sense of unity. It would definitely
produce uneven development to regions supposed to be
created and considering that some of the localities in the
country are not yet ready to govern on their own. There
will be degradation. In implementing laws in the region
and in national level, there is a huge possibility that
conflict of interest would emerge. How will we demarcate
the lines between the regional and the national
jurisdictions? Only the authorities responsible for the
crafting of federalism know the answer.
