The Senate B. The Congress. C. 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 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 tagagawa ng batas. Ang judiciary naman or judicatura ay ang sangay ng gobyerno na siyang tumitingin at nag-iinterpret. ng mga batas.
At ang executive naman ay binubuo ng namumuno sa ating pamahalaan at sila ang nagpapatupad ng batas. At ang pinakamataas na leader ng executive branch na siya ding head of state ay ang pangulo. 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, he is the head of our country and he is the leading representative of our country in international law. 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 ang nagkokontrol sa ibang sangay ng gobyerno sa ilalim ng executive branch. The executive branch sets the direction or national policy.
Since ang pangulo or ang executive branch The government is the one who has the ability to 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, ito yung mga qualifications ng Pangulo. Number one, natural-born citizen of the Philippines.
Number two, must be a registered voter. Number three, may kakayahang bumasa at sumulat at at least 40 years of age on the day of election. Siya din ay residente ng Pilipinas sa loob na ng sampuntaon.
So, yan yung mga minimum qualities of... the president so continue nothing anyone can really run for the presidency section three 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 he or she may be appointed as a member of the cabinet so kagaya nang qualifications nang That is also the qualification of the second president. And their position or their title of office is 6 years.
The president can give it because it is his prerogative or power of the position of the vice president as a cabinet member. But he can also not give it. So it is in the choice of the president.
According to Section 4, the President is based on the popular vote. So, six terms and the term shall begin at noon of July 30th or June 30th after the election. And he cannot be re-elected. So, for example, President Rodrigo Duterte finished his term next year. So, he cannot be re-elected by the people.
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 in constitution so 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 inappoint ng Pangulo, pero pagdating sa Commission on Appointments, hindi siya nabigyan ng approval. So what will happen?
So yung inappoint ng Pangulo ay hindi na magpapatuloy sa posisyon kung saan siya inappoint 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. But the power of the president is to give forgiveness to those who committed crimes based on the judgment of the court in our country.
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 session 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...
Pangulo na mag-report sa Senate at saka sa Congress, lalong-lalo na pag may kinalaman nito sa international agreement at pag-gastos ng gobyerno. Ang nag-aaproba ng budget dahil ito ay isang batas, ay ang Kongreso. So, kailangan mag-report ng Pangulo kung saan kukuni ng budget, saan gagastosin ng budget, at kailangan itong pa-aproban sa Kongreso.
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 ito yung tinatawag na state of the nation so ginagawa ito sa kongreso para ilatag ng pangulo ang kanyang mga plano ang mga pagkagastusan ng mga ng gobyerno at ang tatakbuhin ng bansa sa susunod na taon or opening ng kongres So, for one country, there is a president. This is the case of our country. A vice president, cabinet members who are in charge of various departments of our government.
For the autonomous region, like ARM, which is in Mindanao, they have a regional government. And below the executive branch, there is a governor for the province and vice governor. a mayor and a vice mayor for the municipal level and 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 this video and see if you can identify all the departments under the executive branch So in the beginning of our lesson, we had a short question and answer. So at the end of our lesson, let's see if we already know the different concepts under or discussing about the executive branch. Number one, which of the following is not part of the executive branch of the government?

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 all of these are the role of the President 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.
