The Philippines is at a similar crossroads now. Federalism has become a hot topic ever since the campaign of the new president. It has been offered as a possible solution to several societal problems of the Philippines. As a system of government, it is a radical departure from our current system of unitary government. Currently, we have one strong central government and several local government units which are subordinate to the central government. In a federal setup, the two levels of government, namely the central government and state governments, are of relatively equal stature and power. The most well-known example of a federal system of government is of course that of the United States.
