The Rise and Fall of Virata's Network: Technocracy and the Politics Of
The Rise and Fall of Virata’s Network: Technocracy and the Politics of Economic Decision Making in the Philippines Teresa S. Encarnacion Tadem* The influence of a technocratic network in the Philippines that was formed around Cesar E. A. Virata, prime minister under Ferdinand Marcos, rose during the martial law period (1972–86), when technocracy was pushed to the forefront of economic policy making. Applying concepts of networks, this essay traces the rise and even- tual collapse of Virata’s network to a three-dimensional interplay of relationships— between Virata and Marcos, Virata and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and Marcos and the United States. Virata’s close links to social, academic, US, and business community networks initially thrust him into government, where he shared Marcos’s goal of attracting foreign investments to build an export-oriented economy. Charged with obtaining IMF and World Bank loans, Virata’s network was closely joined to Marcos as the principal political hub. Virata, however, had to contend with the networks of Marcos’s wife, Imelda, and the president’s “chief cronies.” While IMF and World Bank support offered Virata some leverage, his network could not control Imelda Marcos’s profligacy or the cronies’ sugar and coconut monopolies. In Virata’s own assessment, his network was weakened when Marcos’s health failed during an economic crisis in 1981 and after Benigno Aquino’s assassination in 1983. In those crises, Imelda Marcos’s network and Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Fabian Ver’s faction of the military network took power amidst the rise of an anti-dictatorship movement. -

Shopping for Their Own Pair of Pink Stilettos: LGBT Rights Vis-À-Vis the Magna Carta of Women and Other Recent Laws and Jurisprudence in the Philippines
Human Rights in Southeast Asia Series 1 BREAKING THE SILENCE 207 SHOPPING FOR THEIR OWN PAIR OF PINK STILettos: LGBT RIGHTS VIS-À-VIS THE Magna Carta OF Women AND OTHER RECENT LAWS AND Jurisprudence IN THE PHILIPPINES Sherwin Dwight Ocampo Ebalo In the struggle for human rights recognition, the movements of women and lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT) are kindred spirits. Ideally, the developments in one movement benefit the other. However, recent women’s rights laws do not extend their protection to LGBTs. The disjuncture lies with the clear legal distinction secured by women as a group as against all other groups, including LGBTs. Like its kindred spirit, the LGBT rights movement should also establish its clear legal identity. The need for a clear legal identity for the LGBT rights movement is emphasized by three recent Supreme Court decisions. Silverio vs Republic shows the strict application of the law in favor of only those who are expressly granted with statutory benefits. Republic vs Cagandahan carves out an exception not specifically stated in the law because of the presence of substantial distinctions. Finally, Ang Ladlad vs Comelec successfully established a distinct legal identity for LGBTs, albeit for a specific purpose only. In the end, equal human rights treatment begins with the recognition of each group’s substantial characteristics. The challenge for the LGBT rights movement, therefore, is to clearly establish itself as a distinct group under the law. 208 Sherwin Dwight Ocampo Ebalo 1. Introduction The LGBT1 and women’s movements are kindred spirits. The two groups fight for the same thing—the respect and recognition of human rights. -
Southern Philippines, February 2011
Confirms CORI country of origin research and information CORI Country Report Southern Philippines, February 2011 Commissioned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Division of International Protection. Any views expressed in this paper are those of the author and are not necessarily those of UNHCR. Preface Country of Origin Information (COI) is required within Refugee Status Determination (RSD) to provide objective evidence on conditions in refugee producing countries to support decision making. Quality information about human rights, legal provisions, politics, culture, society, religion and healthcare in countries of origin is essential in establishing whether or not a person’s fear of persecution is well founded. CORI Country Reports are designed to aid decision making within RSD. They are not intended to be general reports on human rights conditions. They serve a specific purpose, collating legally relevant information on conditions in countries of origin, pertinent to the assessment of claims for asylum. Categories of COI included within this report are based on the most common issues arising from asylum applications made by nationals from the southern Philippines, specifically Mindanao, Tawi Tawi, Basilan and Sulu. This report covers events up to 28 February 2011. COI is a specific discipline distinct from academic, journalistic or policy writing, with its own conventions and protocols of professional standards as outlined in international guidance such as The Common EU Guidelines on Processing Country of Origin Information, 2008 and UNHCR, Country of Origin Information: Towards Enhanced International Cooperation, 2004. CORI provides information impartially and objectively, the inclusion of source material in this report does not equate to CORI agreeing with its content or reflect CORI’s position on conditions in a country. -

PPSJ 2010 Vol 31 No 54: 87-116 Party.Politics.Ph: Internet Campaigning in the Philipplnes' Julio C. Teehankee** Abstract: This article is an initial assessment of Internet utilization by political parties in the Philippines. The phenomenal growth in the use of Information Communication Technologies (lCTs) in the country is not lost to political parties, candidates, and campaign managers. Online websites offer an opportunity for political parties to strengthen linkages with cif'izens and voters through information provision, transparency, interactivity, and networking. The article conducted a content analysis of the websites of five mainstream political parties and twelve party list organizations represented in the 14th Congress. It appraised the online presence of these parties and assessed the level of use of the Internet as a tool for internal party administration, online electoral campaigns, voters' participation and organization. Key words: elections, information and communication technologies (lCTs), Internet, online campaigning, party website, political parties, Philippine politics Introduction The introduction of the Internet and other Information Cornrnunicotion Technologies (ICTs) in the 1990s opened a range of possibilities for political parties to re-engage the public (Ward et al. 2003). The rapid pace of technological innovations in recent years has spurred the growth of the Internet usage for political purposes worldwide. With emergence of cyberspace as a new arena for electoral campaigns, political party websites can contribute "towards expanding communication pluralism as well as • A version of this essay was presented at the 8th International Conference on Philippine Studies in Quezon City, Philippines, 2008. ..
