Situation: If the preamble of the 1987 Philippine Constitution is recited in a style akin to
rap how will you feel about it? How will it affect your interpretation and reception of the
Constitution? Will still be regarded with respect and seriousness?
If the preamble of the 1987 Philippine Constitution is recited in a style of akin to rap, I
would feel like it was a joke. Each of every Filipinos has a different mindset. Rap is disrespectful to
others because they believe in culture and etiquette. There are possibilities that they will not regard
seriousness and respect. I believe that judgement will be The preamble of the Constitution provides
that we should establish a Government which shall "conserve and develop our patrimony." It should be
recited in the most formal way.
