Summary: |
This paper traces universalism --- the vision of international public order
built upon rights and values shared by all individuals and peoples --- as a
purposely-embedded ideology in the history and evolution of the Philippine
Constitution. As the postcolonial and post-dictatorship founding document of the
post-modern Philippine polity, the paper contends that 1987 Philippine Constitution
enshrines nearly a century of constitutional text and practice which has led towards
the present institutionalization of universalist rights-democratic theory in the
Philippines� constitutional interpretive canon. |
