Federalism is a form of government where sovereignty is shared between a central governing authority and constituent political units called states or regions. The states would have more power over finances, development plans, and laws within their jurisdiction, while certain powers could be shared with the central government. Currently, the Philippines has a unitary form of government where power and resources are concentrated in the national government based in Metro Manila, but federalism would devolve more decision-making power to the states.
