  • THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications
    CenPEG Political Situationer No. 07 10 July 2019 THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications Introduction The May 2019 mid-term elections took place amidst the now familiar problems of compromised voting transparency and accuracy linked with the automated election system (AES). Moreover, martial law was still in place in Mindanao making it difficult for opposition candidates to campaign freely. Towards election time, the systematic red-tagging and harassment of militant opposition candidates and civil society organizations further contributed to an environment of fear and impunity. In this context, the Duterte administration’s official candidates and allies won most of the contested seats nationally and locally but how this outcome impacts on the remaining three years of the administration is open to question. This early, the partisan realignments and negotiations for key positions in both the House and the Senate and the maneuverings for the 2022 presidential elections are already in place. Such actions are bound to deepen more opportunistic behavior by political allies and families and affect the political capital of the presidency as it faces new challenges and problems in its final three years in office. The Senate Elections: “Duterte Magic?” In an electoral process marred by persistent transparency and accuracy problems embedded in the automated election system, the administration candidates and allies dominated the elections. This victory has been attributed to the so-called “Duterte magic” but a careful analysis of the winning 12 candidates for the Senate shows a more nuanced reading of the results. At best, President Duterte and the administration can claim full credit for the victory of four senators: Christopher “Bong” Go, Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa, Francis Tolentino, and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.

  • Communication Variables Favoring Celebrity Candidates in Becoming Politicians: a Case Study of the ῍Ῑῑῐ and ῎ῌῌ῏ Elections in the Philippines
    Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. ῐῐ,No.ῐ, March ῎ῌῌῒ Communication Variables Favoring Celebrity Candidates in Becoming Politicians: A Case Study of the ῍ῑῑῐ and ῎ῌῌ῏ Elections in the Philippines Elmina Rayah Dizon M6C>6<Dῌ Abstract What conditions have made it possible for television celebrities to enter politics? Why are there many Filipino celebrities who are elected as national government officials? Most political analysts and media critics devoted time in analyzing public approval ratings and ad spending during the campaign period to understand voting behavior and political choice. While those studies may also be helpful, they do not cover the overall set-up that contributes to the rising trend of celebrity politicians. This article offers to fill a gap in current scholarship on celebrity politician phenomenon by identifying factors that affect the communication process between the celebrity candidate and voters even BEFORE the official campaign starts. For this reason, I chose to loosely base my framework on David Berlo’s Source-Message-Channel-Receiver (SMCR) communication model. I found out that ῍ ) the socio-cultural and political backgrounds of Source and Receiver; ῎ ) the social role and spectatorship in relation to Message; and, ῏ ) the television’s nature as a Channel and its socio-economic background were critical communication factors in paving the way for Philippines to have ῍῍ celebrity politicians as president, vice president and, senators during the ῍῔῔ΐ and ῎ῌῌῐ elections combined. Keywords: celebrity politicians, Republic of the Philippines, media, communication, elec- tion Introduction The emergence and increase of celebrity politicians in the Philippine national govern- ment can be tracked down to communication variables that favor celebrities.

  • Chapter 1. Brief Ecological Profile
    Chapter 1. Brief Ecological Profile Chapter 1. Brief Ecological Profile Brief History of Cavite Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards in the Philippines, Cavite was already a significant area of interest for foreign merchants and traders. The colonizers arriving in the late 16th century found importance to the unusual tongue of land thrust and deep waters into Manila Bay. They perceived its value to become a main staging ground where they could launch their bulky galleons and later became the most important port linking the colony to the outside world through Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade. Formed in the shape of a hook, which in Tagalog is called Kawit, it became the most significant port linking the colony to the outside world. The present location of Cavite City, formerly known as “Tangway”, played an important part in trade with the settlements around Manila Bay wherein it was considered the mooring place for Chinese junks. In 1571, Spanish colonizers founded the port in the said area. They also fortified the settlement as a first line of defense for the city of Manila. Galleons were built and fitted at the port and many Chinese merchants settled in the communities of Bacoor and Kawit which are opposite the Spanish city to trade silks, porcelain and other Oriental goods.1 The vibrant mix of traders, Spanish seamen and local residents gave rise to the use of pidgin Spanish http://www.imus.gov.ph/historical-sites-and-cultural- called Chabacano. events/ 2 The Battle of Imus Monument In 1614, the politico-military jurisdiction of Cavite was established.
