while the 1973 constitution ideally provided for a true parliamentary system, in practise, marcos had made use of subterfuge and manipulation in order to keep executive powers for himself, rather than devolving these to the assembly and the cabinet headed by the prime minister. the end result was that the final form of the 1973 constitution – after all amendments and subtle manipulations – was merely the abolition of the senate and a series of cosmetic rewordings. the old american-derived terminology was replaced by names more associated with parliamentary government: for example, the house of representatives became known as the ""batasang pambansâ"" (national assembly), departments became "ministries", and their cabinet secretaries became known as "cabinet ministers", with the president's assistant – the executive secretary – now being styled the "prime minister". marcos' purported parliamentary system in practise functioned as an authoritarian presidential system, with all real power concentrated in the hands of the president but with the premise that such was now constitutional.
