 note = {application/pdf, IDP000233_001, The executive - legislative relations in the Philippines have been described in two
contrasting stories, namely the "strong president" story, and the "strong congress"
story. This paper tries to consolidate the existing arguments and propose a new
perspective focusing on the "compromise exchange" between the president and the
congress across the different policy areas. It considers that the policy outcome is not
brought by unilateral power of the president or the congress, but formed as the
product of such an exchange. Interaction of powers and their complementary
function are addressed. Furthermore, aside from the constitutional power, the weak
party discipline is pointed out as a key factor in making the exchange possible.},
