- ALT1: ... that a one-term limit for the presidency contributes to the politics of the Philippines having a multi-party system rather than a two-party system? Source: pp 488-489

- Comment: Welcome other hook ideas, it's an interesting topic. No strong preference between the two suggested.
Improved to Good Article status by Chipmunkdavis (talk). Self-nominated at 16:30, 28 November 2021 (UTC).
Article was promoted to GA status on time and meets DYK requirements. Close paraphrasing was not found and a QPQ has been provided. ALT0 is cited inline and verified; ALT1's source has a paywall so I am assuming good faith here. Article is technically good to go, but I'm withholding giving final approval for now, not because of any deficiencies, but because the article is indeed interesting and additional hooks could probably be proposed here (though both hooks are good: I have a slight preference for ALT1 myself). Also, while not a DYK issue, I'd suggest mentioning that the President/VP/Senators/Representatives/Justices all have to be natural-born citizens, since it's not currently mentioned in the article.

- @Narutolovehinata5: sorry, it's been a very busy period and I forgot about this. Are there particular topics you would like me to try making hooks for? As for the natural-born part if you have a source I'm happy to work that in (especially a secondary source), but I don't have time right now to go out looking.

- @Chipmunkdavis: Is the constitution itself not a good enough source? It's mentioned multiple times there. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:15, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

- @Chipmunkdavis: Given that there are no DYK-related issues with the article itself and both of my suggestions were more on the "how to improve the article" side rather than actual DYK concerns, I'm willing to approve this if you're unable to think of any other hook suggestions.

Some alts:
- ALT2: ... that discretionary spending used by those involved in the politics of the Philippines has a reputation for being used for patronage and corruption?
- ALT3: ... that the politics of the Philippines combines single-district voting with a parallel party-list system?
- ALT4: ... that within the three-branch system of the politics of the Philippines, the supreme court has the power to write law?
- ALT5: ... that continuing influence of the Catholic Church in the politics of the Philippines means the country lacks a divorce law?

Thank you for the new hooks. In order of personal preference, ALT1, ALT5, and ALT4 are approved; however I will leave the final choice in hook to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
