130 Chasing the Wind: Assessing Philippine Democracy adoption of a parliamentary form of government and the federal system require very careful consideration because of possible unintended consequences. Moreover, this approach has proved highly divisive. The more prudent course to take is the incremental approach. In the post-Edsa period, the establishment of LEDAC through legislation went almost unnoticed. But as we have seen, this advisory council could serve as a possible platform for further legislative oversight. The restoration of the power of the purse to Congress is the priority. The implementation of the budget should be made transparent to Congress.The reform effort should also concentrate on the existing mechanisms for executive-legislative-judicial coordination. The amendment of the implementing rules and regulations of the LEDAC and JELACC to create the subcommittees of budget and appointments would enable leaders of Congress and the Supreme Court to have access to information about budget releases, realignments, and savings. The availability of this information could prevent the employment of delegative authority similar to the Fertilizer scandal.
