So before we start the discussion, let us have this short test. Let's see if you can answer these questions. So number one, which of the following is not part of the executive branch? A. President B.

The Cabinet D. The President and the Vice President And the answer to that is letter C, the Cabinet. So, who among you got four? If not, that's okay because we haven't discussed the context and the concept about the executive branch. So, The branches of the Philippine government is divided into three. The Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary. Ang Legislative or Legislatura ay ang branch ng government na siyang gumagawa ng batas. Sila yung tagapagbatas, tagagawa ng batas. The judiciary is the government's responsibility to... They are looking at and interpreting the laws. And the executive is being formed by the leaders of our government and they are the ones who are implementing the laws. And the highest leader of the executive branch, who is also the head of state, is the president. So according to Article 7 of the Philippine Constitution, the Executive Department vests the executive power on the President of the Philippines. The President is the Head of State and Head of Government, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He controls over executive departments, bureaus and offices, and enforces the law. So siya ang puno ng ating bansa at siya ang Pangunahing representative ng ating bansa sa international relations. Siya din ang pinuno ng sandatahang lakas ng ating bansa. Siya ang may control sa lahat ng departments ng ating bansa na nagbibigay ng primary services sa mga tao. Siya din na nagkokontrol sa ibang sangay ng gobyerno sa ilalim ng executive branch. The executive branch sets the direction or national policy. Since the president or the executive branch is in charge of the government, he is the one who can drive the country towards the challenges that the country faces and the people living in the country. The president is elected and must be. So, these are the qualifications of the president. Number one, natural born citizen of the Philippines. Number two, must be a registered voter. Number three, may kakaya. He read and wrote at least 40 years of age on the day of election. He is also a resident of the Philippines for 10 years. So, those are the minimum qualities of the president. So, if we look at it, anyone can really run for the presidency. Section 3. The vice president has the same qualifications in terms of office, which is six years, and manner of being elected as the president. He or she may be appointed as a member of the cabinet. So, kagaya ng qualifications ng pangulo, ganun din ang qualifications ng pangalawang pangulo. At ang kanilang panunungkulan sa posisyon or sa kanilang sinumpaan tungkulin ay may tagal na anim na taon. The president can give because it is his prerogative or power of the position as the vice president as a cabinet member but he can also not give. So it is in the choice of the president. According to section 4, the president is based on the popular vote. terms and shall begin and the term shall begin at noon of July 30th or June 30th after the election and hindi siya pwedeng mareelect. So for example, si President Rodrigo Duterte natapos ang kanyang term next year. So hindi na siya pwede pang ire-elect ng taong bayan. So isang term lamang nanunungkulan ang mga pangulo ng Pilipinas according to the 1987 Philippine Constitution. So according to Section 16, the President shall nominate and with the consent of the Commission on Appointments, appoint the heads of the executive departments, ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, or officers of the armed forces from the rank of colonel or naval captain and other officers whose appointments are vested in him in this Constitution. So, kapangyarihan din ng Pangulo ng Pilipinas na mag- appoint ng mga sa tingin niyang karapat dapat na mamuno sa iba't-ibang sangay ng gobyerno at iba't-ibang offices under the executive branch. Pero ito ay mabibigyan ng katuparan kung ang Commission on Appointments na nasa Congress ay bibigyan ng approval ang mga appointments na inihain ng Pangulo. May mga pagkakataon na... Itong specific na person na ito ay in-appoint ng Pangulo. Pero pagdating sa Commission on Appointments, hindi siya nabigyan ng approval. So what will happen? So yung in-appoint ng Pangulo ay hindi na magpapatuloy sa posisyon kung saan siya in-appoint ng Pangulo. So papaltan na ito ng ibang personalidad. According to Section 17, the President shall have control of all the executive departments, bureaus, and offices. He shall ensure that the laws be faithfully executed. Section 18, the President shall be the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary, he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion, or rebellion. So, ang kakayahan ng Pangulo ay magbigay ng order at direktiba sa Armed Forces of the Philippines sa pagresulba, let's say, ng lawless violence, invasion, or rebellion. So, kakayahan din yun ng Pangulo or kapangyarihan din yun ng Pangulo. Section 19 states that, except in cases of impeachment or as otherwise provided in the Constitution, the President may grant reprieves, commutations, and pardons. and remit fines and forfeitures after conviction by final judgment. So, posible na ang mga korte sa Pilipinas ang nagde-decide kung guilty o hindi ang isang nakakumit ng crime. Pero kapangyarihan ng Pangulo ng magbigay ng pardon o kapatawaran sa mga taon na nagkumit ng crimes base sa judgment ng korte sa ating bansa. So, kapangyarihan din yun ng Pangulo. He shall also have the power to grant amnesty with the concurrence of a majority of all the members of the Congress. Section 20. states that the president may contract or guarantee foreign loans on behalf of the Republic of the Philippines with the prior concurrence of the Monetary Board and subject to such limitations as may be provided by the law. So, kakayahan din ng Pangulo na mangutang ng pera na kakailanganin ng ating bansa sa iba't-ibang proyekto. Best example would be the budget na inilabas para sa iba't-ibang proyekto. under the COVID-19 pandemic like the Bayanihan Act. Section 21, no treaty or international agreement shall be valid and effective unless concurred in by at least two-thirds of all the members of the Senate. 22, the President shall submit to the Congress within 30 days from the opening of every regular sessions as the basis of the General Appropriations Bill a budget of expenditures and sources of financing including receipts from existing and proposed revenue measures. So, responsibility of the President to report to the Senate and Congress, especially if there is a connection to the international agreement and government expenses. The one who approves the budget because it is a law is the Congress. So, the President needs to report where to get the budget, where to spend the budget, and he needs to approve it in Congress. Section 23, the President shall address the Congress at the opening of its regular session. He may also appear before it at any other time. So, this is what we call the State of the Nation. So, this is what the President does in Congress to set his plans. the government's expenses, and the country's plans for the next year or opening of Congress. So, for one country, there is a president. This is the case of our country. A vice president, cabinet members who are leading in different departments of our government. For the autonomous region, like ARM in Mindanao, they have a regional government. And below the executive branch, there's a governor for the province and vice governor, a mayor and a vice mayor for the municipal level, and a barangay captain for the barangay level. So, these are the different agencies of the government. So, your task is to name as many departments as you could. You can post. ang video na ito at tignan ninyo kung ma-identify nyo lahat ng departments under the executive branch. So in the beginning of our lesson, nagkaroon tayo ng short question and answer. So sa pagtatapos ng lesson natin, tignan natin kung alam na alam na ba natin ang iba't ibang konsepto under or discussing about the executive branch. Number one, which of the following is not... part of the executive branch of the government? A. LGU or Local Government Unit B. Cabinet Members C. Municipal Mayor or D. Senators So the answer to that is letter D, Senators. Kasi ang Senators ay hindi under na executive branch bagkos ito ay under ng legislative branch or tagagawa ng batas. Number two. In what article and section in the 1987 Constitution states that the executive power shall be vested in the President of the Philippines? A. Article 7, Section 1 B. Article 7, Section 16 C. Article 9, Section 1 or D. Article 1, Section 1 The answer? is letter A, Article 7, Section 1. So, dun nakasaad na ang kapangyarihan ng executive branch at ng executive power ay ibibigay sa mahahalal na pangulo ng ating bansa. Number 3. How many years is the term of the President of the Philippines? A. 3 years, B. 4 years, C. 5 years, or D. 6 years? Answer is letter... D. Anim na taon. Without re-election. So, hindi nari-reelect ang Pangulo. Number four. Which is not a role of the President of the Republic of the Philippines? Letter A. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. B. Chief Executive of all Departments, Bureaus, and Officers. C. Chief Lawmaker of the Philippines. Or D. Head of State and Head of the Government. so the answer is letter c chief lawmaker of the philippines so lahat ng yan ay role ng pangulo except letter c so leadership is not about personality it's about behavior an observable set of skills and abilities that is according to senator miriam Santiago. So I hope you learned something in our lesson. So good day to all and see you in the next lesson.
