Policy uniformity crucial if PH adopts federalism

A federal form of government might work for the Philippines but authorities need to ensure policy uniformity, the European Union’s envoy to the country said.

Speaking to reporters at the sidelines of an infrastructure forum on Friday, EU Ambassador to the Philippines Franz Jessen said investors would prefer to deal with one set of laws and incentives if the country decided to adopt federalism as sought by President Rodrigo Duterte.
