Abstract
The Mental Health Act was passed in 2018; prior to that, the Philippines had no official legislation for mental health. This poses an interesting area of study for a country that is obligated to secure and ensure the right to health of its citizens. Although there have been efforts to address the lack of legislation, it was only during the 17th Congress of the Philippines did a successful bill push through. With this at hand, this thesis wishes to determine the legislative history of Republic Act 11036, otherwise known as the Mental Health Law. This also covers the historico-cultural landscape of the Philippines before the Act's passage, as well as its motivations and proposed modifications. The findings of this study add to the growing pile of substantiation that Filipinos have been dealing with mental health problems for quite a long time. From 2009 to 2020, the Philippine government pushed for laws in both houses of Congress to address the country's mental health crisis; these proposals were eventually combined into what is now known as RA 11036. As the first and only national law addressing mental health in the Philippines, the Act represents a significant advancement in and of itself.
