If federalism is the answer, then what's the question?


Opponents to federalism often ask, what is the problem that it seeks to address. A one-on-one discussion with CoRRECT Movement Co-Founder Orion Perez Dumdum sought to highlight the emerging problems related to the Philippines that a federal constitution would be well-placed to fix. CoRRECT stands for Constitutional Reform and Rectification for Economic Competitiveness and Transformation. The group advocates the shift to a federal parliamentary form of government and the lifting of ownership caps on foreign investments in the Philippines.

The original livestream on February 7, 2021 can be found on CoRRECT Movement's Facebook page. The show notes used by the discussants can be found here.
