Progressive Conservatism
Q: 
In what ways the Philippines should be 
progressive?
A: The Philippines should be progressive in terms of the economy, infrastructure, and many more.
Q: In what ways the Philippines should be 
conservative?
A: The Philippines should be conservative culturally. Despite being progressive in some aspects, do not forget where you forged your path.
Progressivism and infrastructure
Q: What is wrong with the current state of Philippine infrastructure?
A: There are my wrongs found in Philippine infrastructure, such as lack of planning. Many "projects" laid out by district leaders are not planned thoroughly and rushed for the sake of their popularity in their district.
Q: How can the traffic problem be solved?
A: Instead of building more highways in secluded areas where no one is gonna use it and add more lanes in highways, prioritize public transportation such as rails.
Civil structure
Federalism
Q: Why advocate for a 
federal system in the Philippines?
A: Federalism can reap many advantages in the Philippines. 
Unitarism would not be preferable in a nation with approximately 160 ethnolinguistic groups, and 7,641 islands.
Q: Since the Philippines has 81 provinces, and that is a bit too much, how should federal states be divided in a federal Philippines?
A: Federal states should be divided in a federal Philippines under the factors of culture, and geography. For this instance, Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur are culturally similar and geographically close, so they and other neighbouring provinces that are culturally similar should form Ilocos as a federal state.
Q: What if a province has a melting pot of cultures? An example is Bataan, with Kampampangan and Tagalog cultures being prominent.
A: If a province has a melting pot of cultures, then they should have a separate federal state.
Q: What if 
local warlords or political families dominate the political arenas in a federal state, given that the Philippines has transitioned to federalism?
A: Local warlords or political families would not easily dominate the political arena in a federal state if a 
parliamentary system is implemented.
Parliamentarianism
Q: Why advocate for a parliamentary system in the Philippines?
A: In a presidential Philippines, where popularity is considered over 
merit, a parliamentary system can be a game-changer.
Q: In relation with my previous question about local warlords or dynasties dominating the political arena of a federal state, how can parliamentarianism prevent this?
A: Since a parliamentary system considers merit over popularity, local warlords or dynasties will have to climb the ladder instead of relying over their connections or their surnames.
