The Philippine Government operates as a democratic republic, where power is divided among three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The President serves as both the head of state and government, while the Congress is responsible for making laws. The judiciary interprets these laws and ensures justice. The government is further divided into local and national levels, with various agencies managing public services and resources. The Constitution of the Philippines serves as the supreme law, outlining the rights of citizens and the structure of government. Elections are held regularly to ensure representation and accountability.
