Le périmètre officiel du Grand Manille (17 municipalités) abrite environ 12 millions d’habitants et l’expansion périmétropolitaine porte le chiffre réel de Manille à 15 ou 16 millions d’habitants. La rapide croissance de l’aire urbaine depuis les années 1960 a conduit à de gros problèmes de gestion du logement, de la circulation, des déchets et des risques d’inondation, entre autres. Les phénomènes sont interdépendants. Créée sous Ferdinand Marcos, la National Capital Region fut gérée par son épouse Imelda Marcos, gouverneure du Grand Manille. Après la chute de la dictature, une volonté d’autonomie des municipalités constituantes a conduit à donner des pouvoirs forts aux gouvernements locaux et à leurs maires. -
Using Force to Gain Voice: the Prospects and Limits of Using Coercive Mechanisms to Secure Deliberative Inclusion

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. -

Political Forecast: Mapping the Future Front Where We Are Today
On the Occasion of the Lopez Group of Companies Economic and Political Briefing 3:20PM 15 September 2014 Manansala Tower Rockwell Center, Makati City Political Forecast: Mapping the Future Front Where We are Today delivered by LEILA M. DE LIMA Introduction Good afternoon! My heartfelt thanks to the Lopez Group of Companies for inviting me to be a part of the group-wide Economic and Political Briefing, aimed at assisting this collective in the preparation of your Five-Year Strategic and Annual Profit Plans. As honored as I am for this singular opportunity, I must admit that I am also surprised because I do not consider myself a political person. In fact, being politicized is one of the very first things we sought to change about the public's perception about the Department of Justice. We discharge our primary mandate and, hence, serve the public interest best, when we are conscious that the enforcement of laws, and the investigation and prosecution of their violation, ought not to be dictated by political considerations. We promote the Rule of Law and have vowed to deliver true and complete Justice - and there is a reason why Justice is depicted as being blind-folded. Be that as it may, having been a part of this Administration from its very first day, more than four years ago, and having served in the Commission on Human Rights more than two years prior that, I believe that the insights that I have gained, from such a productive, eventful and, you might say, even tumultuous six years (of my public life), might be of some assistance to the Lopez Group of Companies. -

All photos by Rome Jorge/Rappler MANILA, Philippines – Corrupt and murderous political dynasties lord over entire provinces. Floods and traffic ensnare commuters in the city. High taxes and low wages force people to work in oppressive conditions abroad. The Philippines gets caught between the encroachment of communist China and the meddling of former colonizer United States – none of this is new. It's always been in the news. See for yourself the editorial cartoons, magazine covers, and propaganda paintings from half a century ago, with some works even much older, at the Lopez Museum and Library's current exhibition, Drawing the Lines.

Izon, Leonilo Doloricon, Dengcoy Miel, Jose Tence Ruiz, Liborio Gatbonton, Danilo Dalena, Dante Perez, and Pinggot Zulueta, together with the works of Juan Luna, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Fernando Amorsolo, Francisco Coching, as well as Vicente Manansala, Cesar Legaspi, Onib Olmedo, Cesar Legaspi, Brenda Fajardo, and Galo Ocampo, among others. The timely exhibition opened on February 26 – a day after the 30th anniversary of the first People Power Revolt that toppled the Marcos dictatorship – and runs the entire Philippine presidential campaign period,only to close on July 8 – 60 days after the presidential elections on May 9. -
