    The pearl of the Southeast, the Philippines, is a democratic and free country that has good and healthy relationships with other countries in the leagues of diplomacy, business and commerce and politics.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE FILIPINO DEMOCRACY | By: Lourenzo Manimtim

  THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE FILIPINO DEMOCRACY   By: Lourenzo Manimtim The state of the nation depends on states of citizens, and a nation is governed by leaders and the leaders are elected by the citizens.
