Last Thursday, I attended the seminar about Federalism. Most of you know about it but for the betterment of those who doesn't Federalism is a system of government wherein power and sovereignty is decentralized.
Decentralization has two forms: Devolution which is the transfer or granting of power from the national or central government to the local government in which in federalism it is called state and the next is Deconcentration is the transfer of administrative responsibility from the national or central government to the local government or the state.
In Federalism, there will be more autonomy given to the local government in terms of policy making and trade, they will have the opportunity to improve, cultivate and modernized their respective territorial jurisdiction.
On the other hand, there will be a huge possibility of the massive existence of political clans that will prolong the so called political dynasty in the Philippines.
All in all, the seminar was successful. I enjoy watching the debate and learned a lot about the discussions on Federalism though Senator Aquilino 'Nene' Pimentel, the current Senate Minority Leader, supposed to be the speaker but he weren't able to come because of some matters needed to be addressed in the Senate but our very admirable and knowledgable professor, Prof. Terry Dumogho talked in his behalf.
I commend all the people (organizing committee) behind the conduct of the seminar namely the students of BPAG 4-1 (where I belong) and BPAG 4-3.
Lastly, I leave to you the comment of Dr. Zenaida Pia that is further tackled by Ma'am Digna Ortega in her reaction:

" Is Federalism a way to progress?
or
Is Federalism away to progress?"

Is Federalism away to progress?"
