Assignment No. 1A. Enumerate and discuss the Government of the Philippine Republic. The Government of the Philippines, also known as the Philippine Government is

the national government of the unitary state of the Republic of the Philippines. It is a presidential, representative, and democratic republic where the President of the Philippines is both the head of state and the head of government within a pluriform multi-party system.

The government has three interdependent branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. The powers of the branches are vested by the Constitution of the Philippines in the following: Legislative power is vested in the two-chamber Congress of the Philippines—the Senate is the upper chamber and the House of Representatives is the lower chamber.

Executive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the President. Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of the Philippines as the highest judicial body.

B. Comparative study about Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Benigno Aquino III administration. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo  is sworn in as president at the 2001 EDSA Revolution. On April 25, 2001, two weeks before the mid-term senatorial elections, the

Sandiganbayan—the Philippine anti-graft court—issued an arrest warrant for Estrada. Estrada's supporters staged a so-called "EDSA Tres", or third People Power Revolution at the EDSA Shrine, which on May 1 tried to overthrow Arroyo's government. Arroyo was elected to a full six-year term in 2004, though the balloting was spoiled by a monotonous vote-counting process that was completed six weeks after the election.

In 2005, a tape of a wiretapped conversation surfaced bearing the voice of Arroyo apparently instructing an election official to increase her votes. The tape flashed protests calling for Arroyo's resignation. Arroyo admitted to inappropriately speaking to an election official, but denied allegations of fraud and refused to step down. Attempts to impeach the president failed later that year.

Arroyo currently spearheads a plan for a repair of the constitution to transform the present presidential republic into a federal parliamentary government.

Pang. Benigno “P-Noy” Aquino III The Presidency of Benigno S. Aquino III began at noon on June 30, 2010, when he

became the fifteenth President of the Philippines, succeeding Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Aquino is the third-youngest person to be elected president, and the fourth-youngest president after Emilio Aguinaldo, Ramon Magsaysay and Ferdinand Marcos.[2] Aquino is the first president to be a bachelor, being unmarried and having no children.[2] Aquino is the second president not to drink alcoholic beverages; the first president not to drink alcohol was Emilio Aguinaldo.[2] Aquino is the eighth president to be a smoker.[2] Aquino

is the first graduate of Ateneo de Manila University to become president.[2] Aquino is the third president who will only hold office in Malacañan Palace, but not be a resident, following Corazon Aquino and Fidel V. Ramos.[2] Aquino is the first president to make Bahay Pangarap his official residence.[4][5] Aquino is the third president to use his second given name, Simeon, as his middle initial, as Manuel L. Quezon and José P. Laurel did.[1][2][3] Aquino is the second president to be a child of a former president, his mother was former President Corazon Aquino; the first president to be a child of a former president was President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who is the daughter of former President Diosdado Macapagal.
