It is done through the help of the different law enforcement agencies and other offices that is tasked to implement certain laws and ordinances. The Philippine Constitution is the mother law of the land. It is the basis of all the laws in the Philippines like the Penal laws, Special laws, and the Ordinances. The Penal law or penal code that has been revised on December 8, 1930 which is now the revised penal code is a code that is divided by two parts- book one which explains the general or the whole provision of the RPC regarding the date that the law is effective or enforced, the application of the provisions of this code, the violations or offenses, and the person legally responsible and the punishment or penalties for the crimes. Book two which explains the crimes and penalties (chanrobles.com,RPC). Aside from penal laws, there are laws that are not found in penal laws that address the concerns of people and the country.

    The laws are not set in stone anywhere, but are creations by humans based on our needs to make the world revolve with order. The world is always changing, and in order for laws to always be of appropriate effect, laws change as well. An example of how it is necessary for laws to change would be when there was no law about weapons being in school systems. However, when shootings on school grounds began, there was a need to implement a law. A downside of zero-tolerance policies with these laws can affect people who have no malicious intentions.

Progressive reformers realized the values and strategies that once were effective in battling the tumultuous effect of urbanization, industrialization, and mass immigration to be ineffective.
