LEGAL CRITIQUE: THE DAVAO MODEL AND THE FRONTIERS OF CONSTITUTIONAL DUE PROCESS
Abstract
This legal critique concludes that while the model provided a template for rapid urban governance, it left a complex legacy regarding the Rule of Law. For the legal community in Davao, the challenge remains to reconcile the city's desire for order with the absolute necessity of maintaining a judicial system that is independent, procedural, and protective of the individual against the collective power of the State.
