To attract Infrastructure a priority for investments, Mr Duterte wants to raise foreign ownership limits for certain incoming administration industries (eg. telecom, power), cut red tape, and revisit the REIT law. Klyne Resullar Infrastructure spend is targeted to rise to 5% of GDP, a goal that eluded the Economics Update - Philippines: 16 Jun 2016 Aquino administration. He also espouses a shift to Federalism. Central to Mr Gunning for inclusive growth Duterte's campaign was his strong anti-crime and anti-corruption drive. Diana del Rosario Source: Deutsche Bank PSEi up 11.2% since early May, now the best performing in the region The markets seem to like what they see and hear. The PSEi Index is up 11.2% since just before the election, and is up 10.6% YTD, now the best performing market in Emerging Asia. The Peso, too, is up c.2% since early May. Foreign net buying has surged, reversing months of outflow. Policies favor consumers/retailers, infra plays Mr Duterte's policies to promote broader, more inclusive GDP growth will support consumption, with retailers as likely winners. Increased infrastructure spending would benefit project proponents, construction, building materials, and even support banks’ loan growth. A review of the REIT rules could be positive for property companies with strong rental portfolios. Neutral on the market – at 20x PE on 2016F; earnings disappoint again However, the market's jump has meant that the PSEi Index is again trading at 20x our 2016F profit estimates, near the top of its historic trading range. Meanwhile, earnings in 1Q16 disappointed again, up just 6% YoY and posing downside risk to our 12% index earnings forecasts. Change is here; short-term disruptions likely; fiscal slippage is a risk Mr Duterte ran and won on a platform of change, some of it radical. Change can often be a (very) good thing, but it is hardly ever easy. Much needed long- term reforms will likely come with short-term disruptions, whether politically, economically or both. The fiscal side, for example, bears close monitoring as the incoming administration juggles tax reform, social and infra spending, and a crackdown on corruption in the revenue collection agencies. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong This research has been prepared in association with Deutsche Regis Partners, Inc.

MCI (P) 057/04/2016. 24 June 2016 Philippine Strategy Change is here Market cheers Duterte win Philippine financial markets seem to be cheering the election of former Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who takes his oath as the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines on 30 June. Since the elections on 9 May, the main PSEi Index has risen 11.2% to a new 52-week high, roundly outperforming the region. Year-to-date, the PSEi is up 10.6%, the best performing market in Emerging Asia. After a year of near-constant net foreign selling, foreigners turned aggressive buyers in May. The local stock market saw net inflows of $285mn. The Peso also strengthened since the elections. After appreciating as much as 2.7%, the currency has settled down, but is still up 1.7% from 6 May.

While we did downplay the pre-election worries over Mr Duterte’s headline- grabbing comments (see "Testing its resilience, Pt2 - Do the elections matter?"), we expected the market to take a more wait-and-see attitude towards the controversial candidate. In that report and in another directly after the election ("A missive from Manila - The road less travelled", 10 May), we reckoned that Mr Duterte's appointments to his Cabinet would be crucial for calming markets' nerves. Individually, the proposed Department Secretaries have so far received mixed reviews (see Figure 8, on page 9). Cabinet bares “10-point socio-economic agenda” However, those in the "economic cluster" have come out strong. Within days of the election (on 12 May), the transition team – led by incoming Finance Secretary Carlos G Dominguez – revealed the new administration’s 8-point socio-economic agenda, which was later expanded to a 10-point agenda: 1) Maintain the key macroeconomic policies — including fiscal, monetary and trade — of the previous administrations. 2) Reform the tax system to make it more progressive, improve collection effectivity, and index tax rates to inflation. 3) Attract more investment (both foreign and local) by improving competitiveness and ease of doing business. Relax Constitutional foreign ownership limits for partially protected industries (exception for land ownership). 4) Accelerate infrastructure spending to 5% of GDP (from less than 3% in 2015). This will be done both through direct government spending and through public private partnership (PPP). 5) Promote rural development, improve agricultural productivity, and promote rural tourism. 6) Ensure security of land tenure, and streamline land titling agencies and processes. 7) Invest in human capital development by improving access to healthcare and making the education system better responsive to the demands of businesses. 8) Enhance innovation by promoting science, technology and the creative arts. 9) Stronger and broader social safety nets for the poor, including an expansion of the existing Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program. 10) Fully implement the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law. Since then, the Cabinet has been proactively promoting the 10-point agenda. Earlier this week (20-21 June), Duterte and his Cabinet hosted "Sulong Pilipinas" (or "Onward Philippines") in Davao City, a two-day consultative forum in which the country's business leaders were asked to give their recommendations — a "wish list" — for the incoming officials. Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Page 3 24 June 2016 Philippine Strategy Consolidates hold on Congress – from fringe party to a super-majority There were also concerns over how quickly Mr Duterte could form a coalition in Congress. Many of the proposed reforms need Congressional support. This is especially true for the ones that require a change in the Constitution such as the shift to a Federal form of government and the relaxation of foreign ownership restrictions. His political party, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (or PDP- Laban), is quite small. Immediately after the May election, the party only held three seats in the 292-member Lower House, and only one of the 24 seats in the Senate. Just two weeks after the election though, his party had formed coalition agreements that claim at least 260 members, much more than the two-thirds super-majority needed to begin the process of Constitutional change.

  • President Duterte's First Year in Office
    ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 28 June 2017 Ignoring the Curve: President Duterte’s First Year in Office Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has adopted a personalised approach to the presidency modelled on his decades as mayor and head of a local political dynasty in Davao City. His political history, undiminished popularity and large Congressional majorities weigh heavily against any change being made in approach. In the first year of his presidential term this approach has contributed to legislative inertia and mixed and confused messages on key policies. Statements by the president and leaders in Congress questioning the authority of the Supreme Court in relation to martial law, and supporting constitutional revision put into question the future of the current Philippine political system. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at the Regional Strategic and Political Studies Programme at ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION After his clear and surprise victory in the 9 May 2016 election, many observers, both critical and sympathetic, argued that Rodrigo Duterte would face a steep learning curve when he took his seat in Malacañang (the presidential palace) on 30 June 2016.1 Being president of the Philippines is very different than being mayor of Davao City in southern Mindanao. Learning curve proponents argue that his success in mounting this curve from mayor and local political boss to president would be decisive for the success of his administration and its political legacy. A year into his single six-year term as president, it appears not only that President Duterte has not mounted this steep learning curve, he has rejected the purported need and benefits of doing so.2 While there may be powerful political reasons for this rejection, the impact on the Duterte administration and its likely legacy appears quite decisive.

ABSTRACT USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION This thesis analyses the impact of marginalised groups using coercive mechanisms as a strategy for deliberative inclusion. It engages the literature on deliberative democratic theory that makes a case for using non-linguistic mechanisms to gain entry to exclusionary deliberative forums. This research explores its limits through a linguistic-based microanalysis of an ―extreme‖ case where marginalised political agents employed threats of force – the apparent antithesis of deliberation – in an attempt to secure inclusion. The case is that of a military mutiny in the Philippines in 2003, where a group of junior officers took over the central business district to publicly air their demands for reform to the military.
