Question 6
6. On April 24, 2025, the Treaty of Copenhagen, an international agreement among

the Secretary of Foreign Affairs as the duly authorized signatory of the Philippines.
Thereafter, the treaty was transmitted to the President for ratification. After
reviewing the terms of the treaty, the President decided not to ratify the same.
Consequently, X, a passionate environmentalist, filed a petition for mandamus to
compel the President to ratify and transmit the signed copy of the Treaty of
Copenhagen to the Senate for its concurrence. Will the petition prosper?
