  • Between Rhetoric and Reality: the Progress of Reforms Under the Benigno S. Aquino Administration
    Acknowledgement I would like to extend my deepest gratitude, first, to the Institute of Developing Economies-JETRO, for having given me six months from September, 2011 to review, reflect and record my findings on the concern of the study. IDE-JETRO has been a most ideal site for this endeavor and I express my thanks for Executive Vice President Toyojiro Maruya and the Director of the International Exchange and Training Department, Mr. Hiroshi Sato. At IDE, I had many opportunities to exchange views as well as pleasantries with my counterpart, Takeshi Kawanaka. I thank Dr. Kawanaka for the constant support throughout the duration of my fellowship. My stay in IDE has also been facilitated by the continuous assistance of the “dynamic duo” of Takao Tsuneishi and Kenji Murasaki. The level of responsiveness of these two, from the days when we were corresponding before my arrival in Japan to the last days of my stay in IDE, is beyond compare. I have also had the opportunity to build friendships with IDE Researchers, from Nobuhiro Aizawa who I met in another part of the world two in 2009, to Izumi Chibana, one of three people that I could talk to in Filipino, the other two being Takeshi and IDE Researcher, Velle Atienza. Maraming salamat sa inyo! I have also enjoyed the company of a number of other IDE researchers within or beyond the confines of the Institute—Khoo Boo Teik, Kaoru Murakami, Hiroshi Kuwamori, and Sanae Suzuki. I have been privilege to meet researchers from other disciplines or area studies, Masashi Nakamura, Kozo Kunimune, Tatsufumi Yamagata, Yasushi Hazama, Housan Darwisha, Shozo Sakata, Tomohiro Machikita, Kenmei Tsubota, Ryoichi Hisasue, Hitoshi Suzuki, Shinichi Shigetomi, and Tsuruyo Funatsu.

  • Reproductive Health Bill
    Reproductive Health Bill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intrauterine device (IUD): The Reproductive Health Bill provides for universal distribution of family planning devices, and its enforcement. The Reproductive Health bills, popularly known as the RH Bill , are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes introduced by Albay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development introduced by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Philippine government and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as condoms, birth control pills(BCPs) and IUDs, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers. The bill is highly divisive, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures supporting and opposing it, often criticizing the government and each other in the process. Debates and rallies for and against the bill, with tens of thousand participating, have been happening all over the country. Background The first time the Reproductive Health Bill was proposed was in 1998. During the present 15th Congress, the RH Bills filed are those authored by (1) House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman of Albay, HB 96; (2) Iloilo Rep.

  • 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.

  • Pcdspo-Report-On-Disaster-Response-Unified-Hashtags.Pdf (PDF | 780.63
    PCDSPO Report on Standard Hashtags for Disaster Response Standard Hashtags for Disaster Response I. Background The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) and the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson (PCDSPO-OPS) have used and have promoted the use of unified hashtags to monitor, track, and consolidate information before, during, and after a natural disaster strikes. This report is an overview of this. It concludes with an assessment of the effectiveness of using unified hashtags. The Official Gazette and PCDSPO Twitter accounts are used to coordinate information dissemination, relief, and rescue efforts with netizens, the private media, and concerned agencies of the government (who also operate on Twitter). Personal Twitter accounts of Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda, Undersecretary Manolo Quezon, and Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte also actively promoted the responsible use of the hashtags. The following are the official Twitter accounts of the Official Gazette and PCDSPO, as well as the officials of the OPS and the PCDSPO who are considered public figures, and who have Twitter handles with large followings: · Official Gazette - @govph · PCDSPO - @pcdspo · Sec. Edwin Lacierda - @dawende · Usec. Manuel L. Quezon III - @mlq3 · Usec. Abigail Valte - @abi_valte II. Origin We recognized that Twitter is a useful platform for disseminating government advisories, esp. to private media organizations, which can disseminate a message across media, social strata, and geographic location with speed and efficiency. Twitter is also useful for collecting information from the ground, especially at times of disaster in places where a relatively large portion of the population is online (i.e., the capital). The hashtags #rescuePH and #reliefPH were first used in August 2012, when the country was experiencing storm-enhanced monsoon rains.

  • 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.
