    “What’s the latest?” Page 1 of 3 Column for Philippine Daily Inquirer PDI 09-02, 1-09-08 [for publication on 1-10-2008] “What’s the latest?” Mahar Mangahas Right after greeting me Happy New Year, the most common next question of friends and acquaintances is “What’s the latest?” referring, most of all, to prospects for the next national election in 2010, according to the SWS surveys. I tell them that the survey leaders are a cluster of three, namely Noli de Castro, Manny Villar, and Loren Legarda, and then refer them to the SWS website, since I can’t remember so many numbers, all the more as another year passes by. Anyway, for the nth time, last November 7th SWS reported the finding of its September 2008 survey that the top answers to the question on persons who would be good (magaling) successors of Pres. Arroyo as President, with up to three names accepted, were – with percentages in parentheses -- de Castro (29), Villar (28), Legarda (26), Panfilo Lacson (17), Francis Escudero (16), Joseph Estrada (13), and Mar Roxas (13). All others, including Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Bayani Fernando, Antonio Trillanes et al., got one percent or less. In short, the aspirants cluster into three groups: the top three, then a group of four at least 9 points away, and then everyone else. To be fair to all possible aspirants, no list of names was provided to prompt the respondents. As a result, we discover that some Filipinos favor the return of GMA or Erap in 2010, and some favor Trillanes, though he would not yet be 40 years old by then.

    Área: Asia-Pacífico ARI 83/2010 Fecha: 06/05/2010 Las elecciones presidenciales filipinas de 2010: entre la inercia y la esperanza de cambio Roberto Blanco Andrés * Tema: as elecciones generales de mayo de 2010 traerán un nuevo presidente después del largo mandato de Gloria Macapal-Arroyo. El futuro mandatario deberá hacer frente a los grandes desafíos en el bajo nivel de gobernanza y las deficiencias en el desarrollo. Resumen: En mayo de 2010, tras casi una década de gobierno, terminará la era Macapagal-Arroyo. Los sondeos presidenciales dan el primer puesto al liberal “Noynoy” Aquino, beneficiado por la gran popularidad de sus padres, seguido del nacionalista Villar, continuando a mayor distancia el populista Estrada, condenado hace pocos años por cargos de corrupción, y el oficialista Gilberto Teodoro. El desarrollo de la campaña ha puesto en evidencia el poco peso de los partidos políticos frente a las personalidades que concurren en los comicios. A pesar de que las votaciones serán las primeras automatizadas en la historia, siguen persistiendo la violencia política y la amenaza de irregularidades. Los candidatos han centrado su discurso en la solución de la corrupción y la pobreza como principales lacras del país. Análisis: El próximo lunes 10 de mayo de 2010 tendrán lugar en Filipinas elecciones generales, de carácter presidencial, legislativo y local. En ellas se votará para los cargos de presidente, vicepresidente, del Congreso (Casa de Representantes y mitad de los asientos del Senado), para los puestos provinciales (gobernadores, vicegobernadores alcaldes, y consejos de provincia) y de los gobiernos locales (alcaldes, vicealcaldes y consejeros de las ciudades).

The first six months of 2016 were critical moments for Philippine democracy. In February, the nation commemorated the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution – a series of peaceful mass demonstrations that ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III – the son of the president who replaced the dictator – led the commemoration. He asked Filipinos to remember the atrocities of the authoritarian regime and the gains of democracy restored by his mother. He reminded the country of the torture, murder and disappearance of scores of activists whose families still await compensation from the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board.

    FY 2009 (Annual)

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY METROPOLITAN MANILA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CY 2009 ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT Metro Gwapo, MMDA’s flagship program, has come a long way since its inception a couple of years ago. Given the glaring blight in many areas of the Metropolis, it is a pleasant surprise to see that a substantial physical change for the better has come upon Metro Manila. Inch by painful inch, Metro Manila is slowly turning into a livable and healthy city as envisioned by the leaders of this prime metropolis, both past and present. Though much remains to be done, we have taken the baby steps. With the expert use of the principle utilizing outer change to bring about inner change, MMDA has embarked on the process of social engineering. Undeniably the opposite process of starting from within to realize outer change is faster but, owing to the psychological immaturity of most of our countrymen, the principle of the outer to the inner is deemed more suitable. Here, the use of visuals help impart the lessons to a largely unthinking public. Among the more important projects for CY 2009 are the following: SOCIAL SERVICES PGMA Workers’ Inn (aka) Gwapotel Meant to ease the difficulties of the workers whose homes are far from the Metropolis, the Gwapotel or Workers Inn serves as a temporary sleeping and bathing quarters for a variety of clients (i.e. government employees, laborers, security guards, vendors, seamen and seminar / convention participants, among others. As of 2009, the MMDA operated two such inns, one in Port Area and another in Abad Santos Tondo, Manila.
