3. The establishment of the Third Republic of the Philippines paved the way for an independent government. The Filipino people went through six administration. Every administration faced formidable challenges and problems.

4. Problems and Challenges of the Third Republic

5. Rehabilitation 5 Education, trade, agriculture, finance, and other systems were falling or paralyzed. The government was nearly bankrupt. It had to rely on the United States to move the country’s rehabilitation .

6. Peace and Order The People’s Liberation Army, formerly known as HUKBALAHAP, fought the government because of peasants’ discontent. For a long time, the Huk committed heinous crimes such as attacking government forces, murder, intimidation, theft, and kidnapping.

7. Economic Challenges The response was the formation of trade treaties, the establishment of banks, the establishment of corporations, and a variety of other activities. Job creation has emerged as a major issue in the country. 7

8. External Sovereignty The government had to deal with issues of defending its own territory during the Third Republic. The territorial rights of Sabah were asserted by the Macapagal and Marcos Sr. Administrations. 8

9. Political Challenges Corruption is a significant political issue in the Third Republic. The Roxas administration was confronted with the infamous surplus war property scandal, while the image of the Quirino administration was also tainted by the so-called golden bedpan scandal, which resulted in the establishment of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.

10. Education and Cultural Challenges One of the difficulties was also a lack of infrastructure and the instructional material. Improving Filipinos’ cultural aspects was also a challenge. The Garcia administration is a part of the ones who try to cultivate it, and it sent representatives to international competitions to introduce Filipino culture. President Macapagal, on the other hand, mandated the use of the Filipino language in official documents, such as passports and correspondence. He also directed that the National Anthem should be sung in Filipino. 10
