Province
of North Cotabato vs. Gov’t of the Republic of the Philippines Peace Panel
G.R. No. 183591; October 2008
- An association is formed when two states of unequal power voluntarily establish durable links. In the basic model, one state (the associate) delegates certain responsibilities to the other (the principal), while maintaining its international status as a state.
- The concept of ‘association’ is not recognized under the 1987 Constitution. The Constitution does not contemplate any state in its jurisdiction other than the Philippine State, much less does it provide for a transitory status that aims to prepare any part of Philippine territory for independence.
