[edit] Wikisource

I have the text from the 1899, 1935 and 1973 Constitutions. I am planning to put them at Wikisource. If you have objections post it here. Circa 1900 07:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Good idea! :) --Noypi380 13:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is a charter change page needed?

With all the talk and confusion in the news lately should thier be a "Constitution of the Philippines(Charter Change)" page added or at least a Stub:Phillippines(ChaCha) with some external links to it's PRO/CON web sites?

That won't be necessary, deleted the bottom section too. This is not a place for "talk and confusion" anyway, that should be for the blogs. The external link for the constitutional change proponents is enough for now. :) --Noypi380 13:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually I disagree but I'm too lazy to create such a page hehehe --Howard the Duck 08:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expanded discussion on 1987 Constitution

I wrote an expanded discussion on the 1987 Constitution, including a brief background and explanation of its basic features. Considering that it is the Constitution currently in force, it would be useful to have a brief overview of what it says in Wikipedia. I steered clear though about the charter change provisions - the topic is too controversial and might need a separate page. I did add references at the end to the various pages already existing on that topic. --Anyo Niminus 16:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post-WW-II constitutional situation should be covered here

I came to this page looking for info on the constitutional status of the Philippines in the period between the conclusion of WW-II and the adoption of the 1973 constitution. I did not find that info on this page. I believe that this page should contain this info.

I have read (somewhere -- sorry, I don't have a cite handy) that the 1943 constitution was revised after WW-II (though I have seen no details regarding the supposed revisions) and that revised constitution used until superseded by the 1973 constitution. I have also read, contrarily, various items which give me the impression that sometime after WW-II the 1943 constitution was discarded in favor of the earlier 1935 constitution (e.g., various court cases pertaining to citizenship status of PBA players born in the '60s and '70s having been decided using citizenship requirements from the 1935 constitution vs. those in the 1943 constitution), though I have never seen any reference how, when, and/or on what authority that reversion might have been made. I also note that neither Chanrobles nor Lawphil seem to mention the 1973 constitution at all. This should be covered here, I think -- hopefuly with a good reference citation. I will keep looking for info on this with a good reference to cite, but others are surely better equipped to address this than I. -- Boracay Bill 02:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Updated as requested. Gareon 06:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I carried some of that info over onto Philippine nationality law. -- Boracay Bill 10:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Memory Digest?

Is it about time we also add digest to different topics of laws so we can consolidate all of our resources build a strong bar review material? visit http://rllqph.tk 17:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
