The preamble of the Constitution provides that we should establish a Government which shall "conserve and develop our patrimony." Our "patrimony" includes our public forests, mangroves, wildlife, and flora and fauna which should be conserved, protected and renewed.
The Preamble is the first part of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. Every Filipino must know the Preamble and know its meaning by heart. Most students in college who study law and political science, memorize the Preamble as it is the introductory part of studying the Philippine Constitution and it is also important to master its words and meaning behind it.
