  • PAGCOR) Launched an Intensive Communication Campaign to Emphasize the Agency’S Contributions to the Government
    About the Cover In November 2018, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) launched an intensive communication campaign to emphasize the agency’s contributions to the government. The “PAG” campaign is anchored on the agency’s revenue-generating function which many people, Filipinos included, are not aware of. We used various media platforms to educate the general public about PAGCOR’s programs and to heighten public awareness about our noble goals. Many people associate PAGCOR with gaming and casinos. But while operating and regulating games of chance are among our core mandates, our important mission is to help build a strong nation. As we remit half of our income to the National Treasury, we have become one of the biggest revenue generators of the government. A sizeable portion is also allocated for the agency’s mandated beneficiaries and the privileged sectors of society. We were able to provide funds for our various mandated beneficiaries by regulating gaming and preventing the proliferation of illegal gambling in the Philippines. Most of all, the dedication, talent and commitment of employees to their work enabled PAGCOR to achieve greater heights. At the end of the day, our real mission is to serve the nation and help build a sustainable future for our country. #PAGsilbisabayan 3 HIS EXCELLENCY RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE President, Republic of the Philippines Annual Report 2018 CONTENTS 8-9 Corporate Profile ...................................................................................................................................................................................

  • The 2019 May Elections and Its Implications on the Duterte Administration
    The 2019 May Elections and its Implications on the Duterte Administration National Political Situationer No. 01 19 February 2019 Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) National Political Situationer No. 01 19 February 2019 The 2019 May Elections and its Implications on the Duterte Administration The last three years of any elected administration can be very contentious and trying times. The national leadership’s ability to effectively respond to political and related challenges will be significantly shaped by the outcome of the upcoming 2019 mid-term elections. Indeed, the 2019 election is a Prologue to the 2022 elections in all its uncertainties and opportunities. While the 2019 election is only one arena of contestation it can set the line of march for more momentous events for the next few years. Introduction Regular elections are an enduring feature of Philippine political life. While there continue to be deep-seated structural and procedural problems attending its practice in the country, the electoral tradition is a well-established arena for choosing elected representatives from the lowest governing constituency (the barangays) to the national governing bodies (the legislature and the presidency). Electoral exercises trace their roots to the first local elections held during the Spanish and American colonial eras, albeit strictly limited to the propertied and educated classes. Under American colonial rule, the first local (town) elections were held as early as 1899 and in 1907 the first election for a national legislature was conducted. Thus, with the exception of the Japanese occupation era (1942-1945) and the martial law period under Pres. Marcos (1972-1986; although sham elections were held in 1978 and 1981), the country has experienced regular although highly contested elections at both the local and national levels for most of the country’s political history.

  • THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications
    CenPEG Political Situationer No. 07 10 July 2019 THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications Introduction The May 2019 mid-term elections took place amidst the now familiar problems of compromised voting transparency and accuracy linked with the automated election system (AES). Moreover, martial law was still in place in Mindanao making it difficult for opposition candidates to campaign freely. Towards election time, the systematic red-tagging and harassment of militant opposition candidates and civil society organizations further contributed to an environment of fear and impunity. In this context, the Duterte administration’s official candidates and allies won most of the contested seats nationally and locally but how this outcome impacts on the remaining three years of the administration is open to question. This early, the partisan realignments and negotiations for key positions in both the House and the Senate and the maneuverings for the 2022 presidential elections are already in place. Such actions are bound to deepen more opportunistic behavior by political allies and families and affect the political capital of the presidency as it faces new challenges and problems in its final three years in office. The Senate Elections: “Duterte Magic?” In an electoral process marred by persistent transparency and accuracy problems embedded in the automated election system, the administration candidates and allies dominated the elections. This victory has been attributed to the so-called “Duterte magic” but a careful analysis of the winning 12 candidates for the Senate shows a more nuanced reading of the results. At best, President Duterte and the administration can claim full credit for the victory of four senators: Christopher “Bong” Go, Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa, Francis Tolentino, and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.

  • 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.
