As we write the different articles, we have to refrain from referring to Articles and Sections still to be written. Just write “as stipulated in Section [TBD] of Article [TBD]”. Later, it would be easy to search for [TBD] to fix undefined references.
I still prefer the Westminster Style, wherein the President asks the Leader of the political party with the most seats in parliament who at the same time be an elected Member of Parliament to form a government as the Prime Minister. In this way, we could easily identify the government and opposition blocs (more importantly the Leader of the Opposition that serves to be the “Prime Minister in-waiting”) in the Parliament thru their political parties.
We could also exclude the argument that “the candidate/nominee garnering the next highest number of votes during the Prime Ministership election shall be the Leader of the Opposition” simply because the Government, in its desire to dominate and avoid true accountability, may put forward two nominees to the position.
Let us be reminded that the Prime Minister is regarded by convention as “first among equals” and by having a separate election for the said position elevates his mandate. It is better that the Prime Minister be appointed by the President to remind him that he is in the position at the behest of the President (who in turn represents the entire Filipino nation), rather than having a debt of gratitude to the politicians who have elected him to the position.
