PH has a Conventional or Enacted Constitution – From
the 1935 Constitution, which was enacted by the 1934
Constitutional Commission (ConCom) and ratified by the
people subject to the approval of the Pres. Of the USA
because at that time we were not yet independent. It
took effect upon ratification by the people on May 14,
1935. There were amendments of the 1935 Constitution.
Because of the major changes, it was also called as the
1947 Constitution where there were major changes were
introduced after we were granted with our
independence.

There was only originally the 1935 Constitution which

was revised in 1971 by the 1971 ConCom, this was
ratified by the Citizen Assemblies. Declared having been
validly ratified by virtue of Pres.Proclamation 1102 by
Marcos. It took effect on that day when Marcos declared
as was having been validly ratified on Jan. 17, 1973.
Take Note: the 1935 Consti took effect upon the
ratification of the people while the 1973 Consti took
effect upon the declaration of its valid ratification by
Marcos on Jan. 17, 1973.
 Then there was an EDSA revolution, we had a
Revolutionay Gov., it was based on a Freedom
Constitution that was promulgated by Cory Aquino
otherwise known as Proclamation No. 3 which practically
adopted the provisions of the 1973 Constitution except
for the provisions of the government because the
government was revolutionary. It took effect
immediately upon its promulgation by Cory Aquino.

Then there was the promulgation of the 1986 ConCom

which was created by virtue of Proclamation No. 9 and
then the ratification of the Constitution on Feb. 2, 1987.
Take Note: it was only declared as having been validly
ratified by Cory Aquino by virtue of Executive Order No.
50 on Feb. 9, 1987 and thus the controversy when does
the 1987 Constitution take effect - whether on the date
of ratification or the date when it was declared as having
been validly ratified.

De Leon vs Esguerra
The SC emphasized Sec. 27 of Art.18 of the
Transitory Provision wherein the Constitution
shall take effect only upon the ratification of the
people. It is settled that the declaration of its
valid ratification retroacts from the date of the
ratification as to its effectivity. Thus it is settled
that the 1987 Constitution took effect on Feb. 2,
1987.

According to Source
WRITTEN UNWRITTEN
a constitution whose not necessarily not
sources are found in one reduced in writing – the
single instrument sources could still be
written, however the
sources are scattered

one whose precepts are consists of rules which

embodied in one document have not been integrated
or set of documents into a single, concrete
form but are scattered in
various sources
The kind of Constitution that PH has is a Written
Constitution where all provisions are found in one single
instrument such as the 1987 Constitution.
