Vote buying rampant – Comelec The Commission on Elections (Comelec) said vote buying remained rampant in the country’s DISCLAIMER 2nd automated elections last Monday (May 13). Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said The articles in this Philippine Weekly Update they received reports of vote buying from all over the country. The amount used in vote buying (PWU) have been culled from various media sources. We cannot, therefore, vouch for ranges from P200 to P5,000.He said the automation of the elections might have worsened the the accuracy of what is reported. incidence of vote buying. Mr. Jimenez said, “It gives a sense that it has become rampant since the (election) operators cannot manipulate the results of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines, that’s why they resort to vote buying.” Under the Omnibus Election Code, vote-buying is an election offense involving the giving, offering or promising money or anything of value directly or indirectly to induce anyone or the public in general to vote for or against any candidate. The offense carries a penalty of 1 to 6 years imprisonment, removal of the right to vote, and disqualification from running for public office. 1 The Wallace Business Forum, Inc. May 13 – 19, 2013 Philippine Weekly Update BIR reminds candidates to report campaign expenses Candidates in the last elections were reminded to report all their campaign disbursements to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and pay income taxes for excess funding they received during the election period. Under Revenue Regulation 7-2011, the tax bureau clarified that all unspent election contributions and donations will be recorded under a candidate’s personal income and will thus be subject to 5% creditable withholding tax. The report should be submitted 30 days after the polls (June 13), similar to the requirement of the Commission on Elections (Comelec). Pres. Aquino calls for calm in dealing with Taiwan issue To avoid unwanted repercussions, President Aquino appealed for calm in settling the issue with Taiwan over the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG)’s alleged shooting at Taiwanese fishermen. The President said he was discussing the issue with officials as the PCG personnel involved in the incident had been relieved and placed under investigation. He said the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) was in touch with concerned authorities to ensure that the incident will not have unwanted repercussions. Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou warned they would consider sanctions against the Philippines, including a freeze on the hiring of Filipino workers and recall of their representative in the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, over the shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman in a high seas scrum. K to 12 program signed into law President Aquino signed into law the K to 12 Basic Education Program, which adds 2 years to basic education and makes enrollment of children in kindergarten compulsory. Republic Act 10533 or the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013” was signed barely 3 weeks before the opening of classes in public and private schools nationwide on June 3. Under the K to 12 program, children are required to enroll in kindergarten before they can begin 6 years of primary education. Two years will be added to the 4-year high school curriculum. The law also mandates the use of the mother tongue as the medium of instruction from kindergarten to third grade before English is introduced. The additional years will serve as a specialization period for senior high school students, whether in vocational skills, music, arts or sports. They will be prepared in middle-level skills development, entrepreneurship, employment and tertiary education. Senior high school graduates will then have an option to take either short-term technical vocational courses, wherein employment is immediate, or pursue college education. Economy S&P retains forecasts Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has maintained growth forecasts for the Philippines highlighting the country’s strength, while it cut projections for several neighboring economies. Although the region continues to outperform the rest of the world, indicators show that the rebound seen in 2012 has lost some traction, the credit rater said in a report. Export growth has stalled given weaker consumption in China, pulling down trade-dependent countries. As a result, S&P lowered growth projections for China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Only Malaysia, the Philippines, and Taiwan were upgraded, "reflecting the ongoing strength of those economies." Under the base case, the Philippines is estimated to grow by 6.5% this year, 6.3% in 2014 and 6% in 2015. Back in March, S&P expected the country to grow by only 5.9%, 5.7% and 5.4%, respectively. The forecasts were raised in April and kept in the latest report. The Philippines grew by a healthy 6.6% last year, beating market expectations and the government’s 5-6% goal. A higher trajectory is targeted for succeeding years: 6-7% in 2013 and 6.5-7.5% in 2014. S&P said, "Southeast Asia’s relatively domestically driven economies, led by Indonesia, will perform well again, with growth of 5.6% in both 2013 and 2014... In contrast, the newly industrialized economies, which are more trade-dependent, will continue to see below-potential growth averaging around 3% in 2013, picking up to 4.1% in 2014 as the global recovery and trade growth broaden." Inflation seen staying within targets The private sector expects inflation to pick up speed but stay within central bank targets over the next few years. A Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas or BSP (central bank) survey showed that the median inflation forecast of 26 banks and think tanks is 3.5% for this year up from the 2012 result of 3.2%.

  • The Familiar Senate
    CongressWatch Report No. 175 Report No. 175 11 April 2013 Part 2 of the 2013 Election Series of CongressWatch The familiar Senate The political dynamics in the Senate often differs from the House of Representatives, particularly on the issues of the national budget and on the proposed amendments to the Constitution. They also have a different take on key measures—the reproductive health law and the law restructur- ing excise taxes of alcohol and tobacco products, based on their vote records (yes-no-abstain): Responsible Parenthood Restructuring the excise taxes of and Reproductive Health alcohol and tobacco products Act House of Representatives HB 4244: 133-79-7 HB 5727: 210-21-5 Senate SB 2865: 13-8-0 SB 3299: 10-9-0 The Senate is also different in the elections since only 12 of the 24 slots are up for grabs every na- tional election. Each senator has a six-year term and is eligible for re-election, not exceeding two consecutive terms. Unlike in the House of Representatives, the Senate, as an institution, is not completely dissolved in-between elections. According to the Senate website, “the purpose of the continuity of the life of the Senate is intended to encourage the maintenance of policies as well as guarantee that there will be experienced members who can help and train newcomers in the discharge of their duties.” However, at least in the last two elections, veterans and familiar faces made up the Senate roll. This is where the senatorial contest runs similar to those in the legislative districts or even in other elective posts—incumbent and returning officials have had the upper hand.

  • Philippine Mid-Term Elections: a Duterte Double
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 11 April 2019 Philippine Mid-term Elections: A Duterte Double Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 13 May, the Philippines will hold elections for all local and provincial positions, all seats in the House of Representatives, and half of the 24 seats in the Senate. • If the current opinion polls prove accurate (as they have in the past): o President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter Sara Duterte, even though neither is running for national office, will be the biggest winners nationally; o the composition of the new Senate will be more favourable to President Duterte and his campaign for a new federal constitution; and o the new Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) party coalition led by Sara Duterte will be well placed for the 2022 presidential and legislative elections. *Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 27 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION The 13 May mid-term elections in the Philippines, with over 18,000 elected positions to be decided, will be the second largest exercise in democracy in Southeast Asia this year after the 17 April elections in Indonesia. To the chagrin of drinkers and bettors, on Monday 13 May, the “selling, furnishing, offering, buying, serving, or taking intoxicating liquor” will be prohibited across the Philippines as will the “holding of fairs, cockfights, boxing, horse races or any other similar sports.1 The coverage of Philippine mid-term elections in the post-Marcos era invariably focusses more on the Senate than the House of Representatives or sub-national positions and are seen as a partial referendum on the serving president even though their name does not appear on the ballot.

  • Ateneofactcheck 2013 First Brief
    AteneoFactCheck 2013 First Brief Fact Check: Coalitional Politics Team PNoy Claim: Team PNoy senatorial candidates were selected based on who can support the reform agenda of President Aquino. “More than popularity, the LP-AKBAYAN-NPC-NP-LDP-NUP Coalition senatorial slate is borne out of shared set of principles.
