I can lend you my book but you are far away. 1. level of freedom is 100% but not absolute. It is embodied in the bill of rights, freedom of expression and of the press, freedom of abode and travel, freedom of of religion, freedom to get marry, and others in the constitution. 2. in right to vote, they have 100% entitled and their choice wins. unlike in america that congress shall decide who will be the president. but people sell their votes. 3. Battle of Mactan; Cry of Balintawak World War II Civil War between Phil. and America philippines achieved its independence in 1898 after the capture by the Americans of Emilio Aguinaldo in our place, Isabela(Palanan) . Then he was made first president of the republic hence democratic form of government.
1. The Philippines is constitutionally declared a Unitary Multiparty Democracy - it has a President, Vice President, Senators, and Congressmen. The Philippines has a Bill of Rights. However, the current Philippine government under President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is not entirely free - there are lots of journalists who are killed, political dissidents who are tortured, and the country still has a lot of foreign troops stationed - such as American and Australian. 2. The people do have Presidential elections every 6 years, but the elections are heavily tainted - massive cheating and corruption is seen in all levels of the election from village chief to President. 3.1 Indigenous Insurrections (1581-1898 against the colonizer, Spain) 3.2 Philippine-American War (1898-1902 against USA) 3.3 World War II (1942-1945 against Japan) -> The countries that took over the Philippines are: Brunei (prehistoric), China (prehistoric), Portugal (some parts), Spain (1580s-1700s; 1790-1898), Great Britain (1750s), United States (1899-1941; 1944-1945), and Japan (1941-1944).
