Malolos Constitution
The Political Constitution of 1899 (), informally known as the Malolos Constitution, was the constitution of the First Philippine Republic. It was written by Felipe Calderón y Roca and Felipe Buencamino as an alternative to a pair of proposals to the Malolos Congress by Apolinario Mabini and Pedro Paterno. After a lengthy debate in the latter part of 1898, it was promulgated on January 21, 1899. The constitution placed limitations on unsupervised freedom of action by the chief executive which would have hampered rapid decision making.

Unsupervised executive governance continued throughout the Philippine–American War which erupted soon after proclamation.

Dignity Of Labor
The dignity of labour or the dignity of work is the philosophical holding that all types of jobs are respected equally, and no occupation is considered superior and none of the jobs should be discriminated on any basis. This view holds that all types of work (jobs) are necessary in a society and it is absolutely wrong to consider any work good or bad: the work itself is a dignity. Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle has been cited as "the first to espouse the 'dignity of work'". In '' Past and Present'' (1843), he wrote: Labour is Life: from the inmost heart of the Worker rises his god-given Force, the sacred celestial Life-essence breathed into him by Almighty God; from his inmost heart awakens him to all nobleness,—to all knowledge, 'self-knowledge' and much else, so soon as Work fitly begins. Former U.S. President Joe Biden made restoring "the dignity of work" a central tenet of his 2020 campaign and administration. About Social reformers such as Basava and his contempo ...
