The parliamentary system is a democratic system of government in which the executive and legislative branches of government are intertwined and are collectively led by a Prime Minister who must have demonstrated himself to be competent and capable, as chosen among members of his party. However, the Philippines is currently subject to the presidential system, also a democratic but republican system of government, headed this time by a president, and in which there is a separation of powers between the executive and the legislature. In the presidential system, people have the collective power to vote for the president. On the one hand, the similarities between the two systems can be summed up in one word: democracy. This involves basic standards of freedom of expression, competitive elections that determine who will hold political power, and certain limits on the exercise of power or authority (16). Of course, however, the systems also have their differences. To begin with, parliamentary systems are decisive while presidential systems are decisive. Parliamentarianism promotes a style of politics and policymaking that is arguably more institutionalized, centered on its political parties, while presidentialism promotes a more personalized and free-floating style of leadership, centered on individual politicians and smaller, less consolidated organizational entities ( 17). although the presidential system is more likely to survive emergencies such as wars and disasters (8), act more quickly, and become less constrained (11) due to the separation of powers and its direct mandate from the people, the effects of system to the country turn out to be the opposite of its supposed advantages. Why? Because the reasons for his... middle of paper......ol all people at all times. But they can fool the people – they can fool themselves – for at least four years” (15). This is why changing the system is important: people are slowly being consumed by the system. It is important to have an efficient system in place beforehand, such as the parliamentary system, because the government will play a vital role in the country and also a more central and dominant role. There will be an emanation from the executive: the initiation of the decision-making process, since this is fundamentally the objective of the parliamentary system of government – ​​to be more involved in the definition and implementation of policies (24). For this reason, many countries are also debating whether to move to a parliamentary type of government (6) as many of the first world countries today such as Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore use this type of system (23).
