The preamble is not a source of rights or obligations, but rather provides guidance in interpreting ambiguous constitutional provisions. The 1987 Philippine Constitution's preamble emphasizes the active and sovereign role of the Filipino people as authors of the Constitution. It ensures a social order that allows every citizen to attain their fullest development. Key terms like "love", "truth", "peace", and "equality" reflect ideals of the 1987 Constitution in establishing a just regime for the Filipino people.
