“In the Philippines, the law that applies to government officials flaunting their wealth is Republic Act No. 6713, also known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. Section 4(h) of this law mandates that public officials and their families lead modest lives and not indulge in an "extravagant or ostentatious display of wealth in any form.”

CHECKS AND BALANCE
This is the mechanism by which department is allowed to resist encroachment upon its prerogatives or to rectify mistakes or excesses committed by the other departments.
