The Duterte administration is a staunch advocate of federalism and is pushing through charter change to realize
this ideal. The idea of federalism has a fair share of supporters and opposition. Some of them think that this is
the key to collective prosperity of each region of the country. Others argue that this may be an opportunity for
political dynasties to multiply and strengthen.

Learning the different forms of government, do you think that federalism is good for the Philippines? Why or
why not? Justify your answer.
