The page says: "This is a list of Republic Acts that have been mentioned in Wikipedia". Why just Republic Acts? That restriction seems to me not to be useful. Why just RAs which are mentioned elsewhere in Wikipedia? It seems to me that mention elsewhere in Wikipedia is not a good criteria for choosing what to include here, though references to the page(s) mentioning the item would probably be useful if that xref info is available or easily obtainable.
Much of importance and interest is embodied in other instruments (there are CAs, RAs, BPs, PDs, EOs, PPs, and probably a hundred other sorts of pronouncements with varying levels of legal effect). The Immigration Act, for example, is Commonwealth Act No. 613, and has been amended by R.A. 118, R.A. 135, R.A. 144, R.A. 503, R.A. 749, R.A. 827, R.A. 1901, R.A. 4376, R.A. 5171, R.A. 5701, P.D. 524, and perhaps by other instruments. The Philippine Family Code, for another example, is embodied in Executive Order 209 which apparently, and apparently during a brief period of vast executive authority, superseded Title III of Republic Act No. 386 (the Civil code of the Philippines).
I don't think that this Wiki page is very useful in its present form, but think something along this general line would be useful even though I cannot easily come up with sweeping concrete suggestions about changes. AFAICT, RP laws have lots of contradictions between one another and are horribly unorganized.
Barring serious objection, I will probably revise the inclusion criteria requoted above and will begin adding mention of various instruments (not just RAs) to those currently mentioned here. As I do so, I will probably add external links to places where the full text of the acts can be read (probably mostly on www.lawphil.net and www.chanrobles.com).

Based on the numbering, it appears here are three kinds of RA acts, pre commonwealth, commonwealth and post commonwealth. Is this the case or is it simply that pre commonwealth and commonwealth acts were given new numbers? If it is the case that there are 3 kinds, how are these usually referred to? E.g. how is RA1876 of the pre commonwealth era distunguished from RA1876 of the post commonwealth era? 60.234.141.76 12:36, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Is there a reason why there are links to chanrobles.com? Why not to lawphil.net instead? Ed558 ( talk) 05:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Greetings,
This is a suggestion that he whole article must be revamp in order to be more informative and less enumerative. Due to the extent of the laws passed by the Congress every year, the article will only be more lengthy as the time goes by, especially, not all laws are covered by this article and only notable ones are displayed, it will be more appropriate if laws are grouped in a collapsible section in accordance to its particular time period (preferably, by historical period e.g. laws of the First Philippine Republic, Laws of the Commonwealth Era). The article must focused on the legal fields and subjects of the Philippines and the legal system of the Philippines, further discussion on the Legal system of the Philippines, highlights the unique blend of Common Law and Civil law system as well as the recognition of Sharia law and customary law. A section on the History of Philippine legal system and the discussion on particular section of legal fields. Similar articles that could serve as basis and reference includes Law of Thailand, Law of Singapore. Law of Germany, Law of the United States, Law of France etc.
I hope this aforementioned recommendations should be taken into proper consideration. 203.87.133.166 ( talk) 16:00, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Notifying @ Sanglahi86 and Joshuasevilla: as the main contributors. What are the plans for this article? Really this article would be split into years, but some of these new articles would be infeasibly small while others would be quite substantial themselves. I think we may just split the largest years for now, but I'd like to hear if there are any plans for this article, if any. Onetwothreeip ( talk) 03:29, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
This edit caught my eye. Editing the article, I see a lot of instances of "(NEED INFO)". I have no idea what this is all about, but it strikes me that these do not belong in an encyclopedia article. I see that this apparently started with this April 2019 edit. Here, I've added info from this source to one instance of this which was sorely in need of info, but most of the other instances of this baffle me. Could some regular editor of this article please take a look at this? Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
