QUALIFICATIONS
The qualifications for an individual aspiring
to become the President of the Philippines
are outlined in Article VII, Section 2 of the
1987 Constitution. According to the
constitution, an individual may become
President provided he meets the following
criteria:
✓
✓
✓
✓
natural born Filipino;
a registered voter;
must be able to read and write;
40 years of age at the day of the
election; and
✓ must have resided in the Philippines
ten years before the election is held
POWERS
Besides the constitution, the powers of the
President of the Philippines are specifically
outlined in Executive Order No. 292, s.
1987,
otherwise
known
as
the
Administrative Code of 1987. The following
powers are:
1. Power of control over the executive
branch
The President of the Philippines has the
mandate of control over all the executive
departments, bureaus, and offices. This
includes restructuring, reconfiguring, and
appointments of their respective officials.
The Administrative Code also provides for
the President to be responsible for the
abovementioned
offices’
strict
implementation of laws.
2. Power ordinance power
The President of the Philippines has the
power to give executive issuances, which
are means to streamline the policy and
programs of an administration. There are six
issuances that the President may issue. They
are the following as defined in the
Administrative Code of 1987:
Executive orders
Acts of the President providing for rules of a
general or permanent character in
implementation
or
execution
of
constitutional or statutory powers shall be
promulgated in executive orders.
Administrative orders
Acts of the President which relate to
particular
aspects
of
governmental
operations in pursuance of his duties as the
administrative head shall be promulgated in
administrative orders.
Proclamations
Acts of the President fixing a date or
declaring a status or condition of public
moment or interest, upon the existence of
which the operation of a specific law or
regulation is made to depend, shall be
promulgated in proclamations which shall
have the force of an executive order.
Page 3 of 14
AP2 – Planning 2: Detailed Executive Department
Memorandum orders
Acts of the President on matters of
administrative detail, or of subordinate or
temporary interest which only concern a
particular officer or government office shall
be embodied in memorandum orders.
Memorandum circulars
Acts of the President on matters relating to
internal administration, which the President
desires to bring to the attention of all or some
of the departments, agencies, bureaus, or
offices of the government, for information or
compliance, shall be embodied in
memorandum circulars.
General or special orders
Acts and commands of the President in his
capacity as commander-in-chief of the
Armed Forces of the Philippines shall be
issued as general or special orders.
It is important to note that during the term of
President Ferdinand E. Marcos, he used
executive issuances known as presidential
decrees as a form of legislation. These
decrees have the full force and effect of laws
because at the time the legislature did not
exist and, when the 1973 Constitution was
put into full force and effect, it gave the
power to the President to do as such. This
continued until the first year of President
Corazon C. Aquino’s term. However,
President Aquino opted to used executive
orders instead of presidential decrees.
President Aquino’s executive orders,
however, still had the full force and effect of
laws until the ratification of the 1987
Constitution.
3. Power over aliens
The President of the Philippines has certain
powers over non-Filipinos in the
Philippines. The powers he may exercise
over foreigners in the country are as follows:
The chief executive may have an alien in the
Philippines deported from the country after
due process.
The President may change the status of a
foreigner, as prescribed by law, from a nonimmigrant status to a permanent resident
status without necessity of visa.
The President may choose to overrule the
Board of Commissioners of the Bureau of
Immigration before their decision becomes
final and executory (after 30 days of the
issuance of the decision). The Board of
Commissioners of the Bureau of
Immigration has jurisdiction over all
deportation cases.
The president is also mandated by the
Administrative Code of 1987 to exercise
powers as recognized by the generally
accepted principles of international law.
4. Powers of eminent domain, escheat, land
reservation and recovery of ill-gotten wealth
The President of the Philippines has the
authority to exercise the power of eminent
domain. The power of eminent domains
means the state has the power to seize or
authorize the seizure of private property for
public use with just compensation. There are
two constitutional provisions, however, that
limit the exercise of such power: Article III,
Section 9 (1) of the Constitution provides
that no person shall be deprived of his/her
life, liberty, or property without due process
of law. Furthermore, Article III, Section 9
(2), provides that private property shall not
be taken for public use without just
compensation.
Once the aforementioned conditions are
met, the President may exercise the power of
eminent domain which are as follows:
Page 4 of 14
AP2 – Planning 2: Detailed Executive Department
Power of eminent domain
The President shall determine when it is
necessary or advantageous to exercise the
power of eminent domain in behalf of the
national government, and direct the solicitor
general, whenever he deems the action
advisable, to institute expropriation
proceedings in the proper court.
Power to direct escheat or reversion
proceedings
The President shall direct the solicitor
general to institute escheat or reversion
proceedings over all lands transferred or
assigned to persons disqualified under the
constitution to acquire land.
Power to reserve lands of the public and
private domain of the government
(1) The president shall have the power to
reserve for settlement or public use, and for
specific public purposes, any of the lands of
the public domain, the use of which is not
otherwise directed by law. The reserved land
shall thereafter remain subject to the specific
public purpose indicated until otherwise
provided by law or proclamation.
(2) He shall also have the power to reserve
from sale or other disposition and for
specific public uses or purposes, any land
belonging to the private domain of the
government, or any of the friar lands, the use
of which is not otherwise directed by law,
and thereafter such land shall be used for the
purposes specified by such proclamation
until otherwise provided by law.
Power over ill-gotten wealth
Within the period fixed in, or any extension
thereof authorized by, the constitution, the
President shall have the authority to recover
ill-gotten properties amassed by the leaders
and supporters of the previous regime, and
protect the interest of the people through
orders of sequestration or freezing of assets
or accounts.
5. Power of appointment
The President may appoint officials of the
Philippine government as provided by the
constitution and laws of the Philippines.
Some of these appointments, however, may
need the approval of the Committee on
Appointments (a committee composed of
members from the House of Representatives
and the Senate of the Philippines).
6. Power of general supervision over local
governments
The President of the Philippines, as chief
executive, has the mandate to supervise
local governments in the Philippines, despite
their autonomous status as provided by
Republic Act No. 7160 otherwise known as
the Local Government Code of 1991.
Traditionally, this is done by the Department
of the Interior and Local Government,
headed by a cabinet secretary—an alter ego
of the President.
7. Other powers
Aside from the aforementioned powers of
the President of the Philippines, he can also
exercise powers enumerated in the
constitution, and powers given to him by
law.
The President shall direct the solicitor
general to institute proceedings to recover
properties unlawfully acquired by public
officials or employees, from them or from
their nominees or transferees.
