Jürgen Habermas assigns civil society groups 'to bear a good portion of the normative expectations, especially the burden of a normatively expected democratic genesis of law'. This article looks at concrete attempts in the Philippine constitution to provide structures so that these groups can carry out the role Habermas envisages for them, and examines whether such attempts are sufficient to enable said groups to intervene in the political process as effectively as he expects of them
