The government of Tondo (Tondolese: Pamahalaan ng Tondo) is the nationally centralized government of Tondo. It is a unitary state, consisting of a multi-tier system of administrative divisions, including 17 regions and 81 provinces, which features a parliamentary monarchy. The modern form of government in Tondo was established in 1990 upon the adoption of the Second Constitution of Tondo.
Executive and legislative power is vested in the Parliament of Tondo, while judicial power is held by an independent judiciary. The Crown (the Emperor or Empress) is the head of state of the Tondolese government. The Crown's royal prerogatives, powers, and privileges are theoretically the sovereign rights of the head of state. In practice and by convention, the Crown selects a prime minister to lead the Tondolese government and to carry out the functions of the Crown. In turn, the prime minister is responsible for appointing ministers for the Crown, who comprise the Cabinet. The Cabinet, together with the Privy Council, officially advises the Crown on all matters pertaining to the state, and coordinates policy with Parliament to implement legislation and regulations.
The Parliament is a bicameral legislature which consists of the Senate being the upper house and the House of Commons being the lower house. Members of both houses are elected directly by the people. The Constitution empowers Parliament to exercise ultimate sovereignty.
The Supreme Court and other inferior courts wield judicial powers in Tondo. The courts have the authority to interpret the Tondolese constitution and law through the power of judicial review. Justices and judges are appointed by the Cabinet and serve for life unless removed through impeachment.
In addition to the three branches of government, the Tondolese government features an independent governmental institution known as the Ombudsman of Tondo, which has the authority to investigate and prosecute Tondolese government officials for certain crimes, such as bribery, corruption, or grafting. Its members are appointed by the Crown with recommendation by an independent panel of jurists and lawyers from the Judicial and Bar Council of Tondo.
