    Implied powers are powers that are not explicitly mentioned in the constitution but can reasonably be assumed to flow from express powers. The legitimacy of implied powers comes from clauses like the General Welfare clause, Necessary and Proper clause, and Commerce clause, which allow Congress to enact laws and take actions that are not directly stated but better the nation. The General Welfare clause gives governments broad power to legislate for the health, safety, morals, and well-being of the people. The Constitution of the Philippines references the general welfare in relation to maintaining peace and order, protecting rights, regional autonomy, foreign agreements, trade policy, and advertising regulation.

    Implied powers are which can reasonably be assumed to flow from express powers, though not explicitly mentioned.

    The legitimacy of these powers flows from the "General Welfare" clause in the, the "Necessary & Proper Clause", and
    the "Commerce Clause." which then allowed for congress to do things that were not directly stated in the constitution
    to better the nation.
    A general welfare clause is a section that appeared in many constitutions, as well as in
    some charters and statutes, which provides that the governing body empowered by the document may enact
    laws to promote the general welfare of the people, sometimes worded as the public welfare. It has been used
    as a basis for legislation promoting the health, safety, morals, and well-being of the people governed
    thereunder (known as the police power). Such clauses are generally interpreted as granting the state broad
    power to legislate or regulate for the general welfare that is independent of other powers specified in the
    governing document.
    The Constitution of the Philippines contains five references to the general welfare:
    1) .SECTION 5, ARTICLE 2: "The maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life,
    liberty, and property, and promotion of the general welfare are essential for the enjoyment
    by all the people of the blessings of democracy. . . .
    2) SECTION 20, ARTICLE 10: Within its territorial jurisdiction and subject to the provisions
    of this Constitution and national laws, the organic act of autonomous regions shall provide

    the promotion of the general welfare of the people of the region. . . . .
    4) PAR. 4, SECTION 2, ARTICLE 12: The President may enter into agreements with foreignowned corporations involving either technical or financial assistance for large-scale
    exploration, development, and utilization of minerals, petroleum, and other mineral oils
    according to the general terms and conditions provided by law, based on real
    contributions to the economic growth and general welfare of the country. . . . .
    5) SECTION 13, ARTICLE 12: The State shall pursue a trade policy that serves the general
    welfare and utilizes all forms and arrangements of exchange on the basis of equality and
    reciprocity.
    6) PARAGRAPH 2, SECTION 11, ARTICLE 16: The advertising industry is impressed with
    public interest, and shall be regulated by law for the protection of consumers and the
    promotion of the general welfare.
