Angara Review: Mind the Skills Gap 208 Emily Christi A. Cabegin About the Authors 213 (PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) Editors’ Note In 2015, five faculty members were awarded the President Edgardo J. Angara (PEJA) Fellowship. The awardees, namely Professors Aileen Baviera, Clarissa David, Stella Quimbo, Caesar Saloma, and Lucia Tangi delivered public lectures on their respective topics upon completing their researches in 2016. Their research reports are featured in this volume of the Public Policy Journal (PPJ). Professor Aileen Baviera’s “Territorial and Maritime Disputes in the West Philippine Sea: Foreign Policy Choices and their Impact on Domestic Stakeholders” examines the role of the various domestic stakeholders, their views on the controversial maritime dispute between China and the Philippines and how these impact their lives. The study describes the efforts primarily made by the Department of Foreign Affairs in soliciting stakeholders’ feedbacks and recognizes the indicative support of the stakeholders, including Filipino-Chinese nationals torn on the territorial issue and on their loyalties. The study also recognizes the vulnerabilities that persist and bother the Philippine government and the domestic stakeholders such as the need to normalize fishing activities in the West Philippine territories, the need to protect marine resources, the imperative to fast track the modernization of marine capabilities, resources, and equipment. With the onset of a new administration under Duterte, the author raises the question as to whether domestic stakeholders could be a democratic voice and source of strength of a nation whose foreign policy is yet caught in the unfinished business of the maritime dispute. Using three service frontline government agencies as cases, Dr. Clarissa David’s “Social Media Use by Frontline Government Services: Review and Recommendations” examines how social networking, whether internally crafted or outsourced by the agencies, perform to help achieve the agency goals and their own work settings. Social networking as a communication strategy varies in utilization by the three agencies, namely the Department of Education, Department of Health, and the Home Mutual Development Fund. Based on her conclusion, the study recommends some policies, organizational arrangements, and integration of the agency strategies in the overall digital communication strategies. Editors’ Note Professor Stella Quimbo and her team’s “Do Investments Respond to Taxation and Incentives? Evidence from the Philippines” assesses the responsiveness of industry investments to tax changes and incentives. Using data from industry and firms, the relationships between tax incentives and industry investments are explained. A modified version of the study, which was conducted in time series, validates the research’s earlier cross-section findings. The study suggests a reduction of corporate income tax rates to even off with the industry investment level of some ASEAN countries. Quimbo and her team recognize that a study on corporate taxation is quite limited and under-researched, and should be pursued. Dr. Caesar Saloma’s study on “Measuring the Performance of the Philippine Scientific Enterprise System” presents an interesting set of data from publications and other sources, and uses these data to diagnose the performance indices used by institutions and organizations that are involved in the production of scientific outputs. The author used the Academic Productivity Index, the Scientific Productivity Index, and the PhD Production Efficiency Index in examining the value of metrics that align individual performance and institutional outputs. These outputs are useful measures to determine or decide on faculty tenure and promotion. In a sense, these metrics also facilitate

    USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION by NICOLE PAULA CURATO A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham April 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

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.

  • TWO YEARS of DUTERTE: Overture to a Rapid Political and Economic Decay
    Art by Ugat Lahi. Photo ©Mel Matthew, Manila Today Manila ©Mel Matthew, Photo Art Lahi. Ugat by TWO YEARS OF DUTERTE: Overture to a rapid political and economic decay he “Duterte magic” is gradually getting dimmer. Collapsing with the weight of his own failures, Duterte is not only fumbling through the cracks now evident in his government, but is becoming more and more delusional following the successive backlash he is now receiving. TThis spiraling down has led the Duterte government to gravitate towards more repressive policies to tighten its grip on power. A hellish orchestra, manned by a vindictive concertmaster, has directed a cacophonous opus to play an ominous, grim score. Indeed, Duterte has allowed disgorged criminals such as former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the wretched Marcos family to sneak back into power. His allies who have been relegated to political irrelevance are now out and about, singing their own tune but still careful to hum in chorus with Duterte. On July 23, 2018, the sneaky maneuvers paid off, and Gloria Arroyo was declared House Speaker of the House of Representatives. With elections coming up in 2019, the vultures have lined up, eager to receive Duterte’s blessings in anticipation that this will translate to public electoral support. Arrogating powers that only dictators have no shame doing, Duterte flexed his muscles when he jailed Senator Leila de Lima over alleged drug charges in 2016; when he allowed the burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in the same year; when he declared martial law in Mindanao in 2017; when he ousted former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno in 2018; and recently, when he scripted the arrest of critic Senator Antonio Trillanes III.

  • Inventory of UPD Research, Creative Work and Extension Units
    RESEARCH, CREATIVE WORK AND EXTENSION UNITS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES DILIMAN A Preliminary Inventory Compiled by the RESEARCH DISSEMINATION AND UTILIZATION OFFICE OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES DILIMAN January 2013 This preliminary inventory presents the outputs of the OVCRD’s initial attempt at compiling a comprehensive listing and profiling of UP Diliman centers, institutes and other units whose principal mandate is to undertake research, creative and/or extension work. There are many such units in the campus, but they are named differently and are located differently within the organizational structure of their respective home institutions. Moreover, use of the terms “center” and “institute” varies widely, and the same can be said for the term “extension”. Before one can arrive at a comprehensive inventory of centers for research, creative work and extension activities in UP Diliman, therefore, one has to navigate the “semantic maze” that surrounds the use of the aforementioned terms. For this reason, this preliminary inventory casts its net wide and takes into account every office and unit in the campus that has, in its name, one of the following keywords: center, institute, laboratory, studio, and extension. This inventory was conducted in three stages: In the first stage, an online search for UP Diliman offices and units that have, in their name, any one of the aforementioned keywords was undertaken. This online search yielded a total of 71 offices and units, which are subsequently referred to as research, creative work and extension units or RCWEUs in this document. Following a coding scheme (please see the section on “Definition of Terms” for details), basic information about these units was culled from their respective websites.

  • Facebook, Fickleness, and the New Populism in the Philippines Assessing Facebook’S Role in Rodrigo Duterte’S 2016 Presidential Campaign and Rise to Power
    Facebook, fickleness, and the new populism in the Philippines Assessing Facebook’s role in Rodrigo Duterte’s 2016 presidential campaign and rise to power By Steve Ellmers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of International Communication Unitec Institute of Technology, 2018 Abstract Although the Philippines’ populist strongman Rodrigo Duterte is often called the Trump of the East his unexpected victory in the 2016 Philippine presidential election has created such a bloody legacy that Duterte’s impact may even outlast his namesake’s. Duterte’s rise to power occurred in the country with the world’s heaviest Facebook users and relied on this social media platform to a far greater extent than any candidate had during the 2010 Philippine presidential contest. This development determined that Facebook would be the main subject of this analysis. This research analyses what happened during the 2016 Philippine presidential election campaign by examining the role Facebook played in Duterte’s success from when his candidacy was formally approved on December 17, 2015, through to the presidential election on May 9, 2016. It subjects two key Facebook accounts, Duterte’s official page and a representative example of one of the hundreds created to support him, to content and discursive analysis. It places Team Duterte’s use of Facebook within the overall context of the campaign and shows how Duterte’s complex and contradictory identity as a candidate was constructed for two very different Facebook audiences. This research also considers how Duterte’s rise was linked to the assistance he received – either intentionally or otherwise – from other members of the Philippine political and media elite.
