TRAINING PROGRAM ON AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON FEDERALISM IN ORIENTAL MINDORO

Government is considered a necessary feature of the country’s development. With a constant change in politics, culture, and society, countries used different strategies to overcome challenges, and this includes shifting to federalism. This is a descriptive study which aims to determine the level of awareness of the respondents on some features of federalism in terms of Structure, Division of Power, Check and Balance, Fiscal Management, Advantages and Disadvantages. Political Theory of Constituent Power asserts that the people’s power is the source, origin and foundation of democratic power. Thus, awareness of the people with this change in the form of government is necessary as it will also affect their lives. Based on the result of the study, a Training Program for awareness campaign was formulated. It is recommended that public feedback should be obtained and comments and suggestions must be considered in improving the final draft of the federal charter.
