Federalism to loosen PH cohesion – Enrilehome/News/Top Stories/Federalism to loosen PH cohesion – EnrileFormer senator Juan Ponce Enrile on Saturday warned that federalism may loosen “the cohesion of the country.”“Once you loosen the cohesion of the country, you do not know where that will go,” he said in a news forum. Enrile, who is running for senator in the midterm elections this May, shared his views on several issues during a forum. “I’m not against federalism but I have a problem with that. The same Constitution provides a 60-40 restriction on foreign ownership of businesses, which, for Enrile, must be scrapped. Even that is problematic because, as you know, you have two divisions of Islam… How can you expect them to be unified?” Enrile said.
