Does the philippines have a stable government?
112711
the past 3 presidents including the president now have made it "stable".  Same crap, down the drain, corruption, no peace and order.  Yes it is stable... the government has stablized the country to be one of the worst and underdeveloped place to live in... and it's been going on for the past 15 years.  Pretty Stable i should say.

How about the fact that the Philippines is a democracy? How about the fact that the Philippine people are free? Communist countries like China implement policies on how many children you can have. It is none of the government's business.\n\nClear enough for ya?

The type of government can change in a country, depending on who is governing/presiding/leading it.

The Philippines is 80% Catholic, 10% Evangelical, 10% others.\n\nChristianity is not directly proportional to Economic status. The economic success of a country depends on the discipline of the authorities and ordinary citizens combined. I respect the faith in God but only God will bless a nation if the people are both God-fearing and doing their work right.\n\nTerrorism, corruption, poverty mentality and laziness can be the main culprits.\n\nHope I have answered you Q.

The Philippines has been on a political struggle for a long time, almost everybody from different political groups wants to be the ruling party, so the result is....what we have now in the philippines,slow economic growth,poverty and all sorts. Under PD1017, political crisis might be resolve,no rallies and demos,no armed struggle or be arrested, i think this is what my country needs now a harder implementation of rules so as to tame down these politicians with vested interest.

Why is your question in the immigration section? \nThe Philippines has too many people and a poor economy, but it is always growing with foreign companies coming in. There are many more very poor citizens than wealthy. The government has a bad reputation and many want the president impeached. Muslims are many in Mindanao especially with gorilla and explosive training terrorist camps. There are many Internet cafes where women lure or try to meet foreign men to ask for money, or try to marry to leave there and most do that for a better future for them an their family as well. There are many lady boys \n( transvestites) there doing the same thing. So this shows you the people there do what they can to survive. Many live in huts or shacks with no utilities and outside toilets and overcrowded. In general a very proud people that becomes more westernized every week. Water standards are poor and too few inoculations for disease, thus the outbreak of viruses is common. Chicken pox, yellow fever, bird flu is rampant in some areas now.

according to the philippine constitution, there is a separation of the church and the state...\nhowever since the philippines is 95% catholic... the church defenitely have a say in key poltical issues becoz the people listen and politicians themselves are catholic...

The Philippines has 95% catholic and the US has 5% catholic. you do the math.  The Philippines were settled by the Malaysians thousands of years ago, the US by western Europeans over the last 400 years. I lived in metro Manila for 5 years, and saw many differences, family life is a good example of the cultural differences,  in the US we leave home at 18 and the state takes care of the parents in old age.  In PI the children never leave home and care for their parents till they die.  None of this is negative, just DIFFERENT

I agree to military but you should consider the Filipinos very religious, just look what happend during edsa 1. I say change the government to parliament but no, the other Filipinos are to disagree, the masa like the popular people to be picked leader ex.actors(no offense, thats reality) .factors that lead to the downfall of the people is their poor education, lack of money, corrupt/uneducated(did not finish collage) officials and their laziness. this people live thier lives, they don't work hard and still they have this complains that they are poor and that wow some people have time to enjoy thier wealth. I hate the masses that complain and do nothing and that is their very poor culture.

If you mean form of government, then yes, it's a secular democratic republic with a prime minister and a president.\n\nIf you mean the party in government, it's presently a majority government under the AKP, which means roughly 'Justice and Development Party', commonly called the 'AK Parti'. They could be called moderate Islamist, as they have their roots in more extremist Islamist parties, but are dedicated to preserving the constitution (which carefully guards Turkey's status as secular). Whether or not they are a wolf in sheep's clothing is difficult to say.\n\nAt the moment, their support sits at about 40%, a bit higher than it was when they were elected (the number of parties and the 'barrage' system in Turkey means that that's enough for a majority in parliament).\n\nTheir leader, the Prime Minister, is a man named Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He's become a bit of a media figure in Europe, as he travels a lot trying to get Turkey into the EU.\n\nThe president is a man named Ahmet Necdet Sezer. He's a former judge, and as far as I know has no party affiliation. He's taken a quieter role than many past presidents. He's seen as more committed to Turkey's secular identity than Erdogan.\n\nThere may well be an election at the end of this calendar year, though I believe that the AK Parti's term officially is required to end some time in 2007.

Yes because in most democracies the security is typically less than in other forms of government.

The Philippines was a colony of Spain. It had a governor-general who answered to the King of Spain. Mostly the communities were centered around 2 main buildings (the church and the city hall). this shows that the church had a great deal of power in running political and government affairs.
