  • A Marineâ•Žs Murder Trial and the Drug War: the •Œdelicate Balanceâ•Š of Criminal Justice in the Philippines
    A MARINE’S MURDER TRIAL AND THE DRUG WAR: THE “DELICATE BALANCE” OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN THE PHILIPPINES Peter G. Strasser* ABSTRACT: This article draws on the murder trial of U.S. Marine Joseph Pemberton, who killed a Filipino transgender, to examine aspects of the Philippine criminal justice system. Deep- rooted institutional deficiencies for police, prosecutors, and trial courts, a backlog of thousands of cases, and overpopulated pretrial detention facilities have created a crisis that currently exists within the criminal justice system. The country’s “war on drugs” has served to reinforce the perception that justice in the Philippines is only for the influential and wealthy. Filipinos have wryly noted that for the poor, there is really no justice, just-“tiis,”—which, in the vernacular means “just endure suffering.” Challenging the entrenched, cultural resistance that has frustrated previous reform efforts, the newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has vowed to institutionalize changes designed to expedite the administration of justice. On a practical level, the question in most criminal cases is not whether the accused committed the crime, but rather what is the fairest, most expeditious method to handle the particular offense and offender. As detailed herein, the end goal of justice in the Philippines is restoration of social harmony. Along those lines, this article argues that creative use of legally recognized procedures such as plea bargains and barangay (community) mechanisms, utilizing reconciliation and financial settlements, can help overcome significant barriers in terms of reaching an otherwise seemingly elusive justice. * A former partner with the New Orleans office of Chaffe McCall, LLP, the author earned his J.D.

  • Understanding Why Public-Private Partnership Cannot Fix Sewerage Services in Metro Manila, Philippines: a Network Perspective
    Understanding why public-private partnership cannot fix sewerage services in Metro Manila, Philippines: A network perspective Allinnettes Go Adigue June 2017 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University © Copyright by Allinnettes Go Adigue 2017 All Rights Reserved Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. To the best of the author’s knowledge, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text. Allinnettes Go Adigue June 2017 iii Acknowledgments This thesis evolved from my interest in the topic of water privatisation for my Master’s degree thesis in 2004. As one of the millions of customers of the former MWSS, I too hoped for better water and sewerage services after the Metro Manila water concessions were awarded, having experienced those days when rust–coloured water came out from our tap and sewage water flows back into our bathroom drain during floods. As a former policy analyst for the Philippine government for many years, I was concerned with formulating policies that would improve government bureaucratic processes to better serve the Filipino people. This research is a continuation of that passion. My deepest and sincerest gratitude goes to all who made this Ph.D. journey possible. I am especially grateful to my primary supervisor, Bingqin Li, for her brilliance, intellect, patience, guidance, kindness, candidness, encouragement and impeccable timing, i.e., moving to Crawford School when I was looking for the perfect supervisor.

  • Revisiting the Breach: a Briefing Paper on the 2016 Comelec Data Leak
    REVISITING THE BREACH A BRIEFING PAPER ON THE 2016 COMELEC DATA LEAK Jamael Jacob Jessamine Pacis FOUNDATION FOR MEDIA ALTERNATIVES (2018) 1 ABOUT FMA The Foundation for Media Alternatives (FMA) is a non-profit service institution whose mission is to assist citizens and communities—especially civil society organizations (CSOs) and other development stakeholders—in their strategic and appropriate use of the various information and communications media for democratization and popular empowerment. Since its formation in 1987, FMA has sought to enhance the popularization and social marketing of development-oriented issues and campaigns through media-related interventions, social communication projects and cultural work. In 1996, FMA streamlined its programs and services in both traditional and new media, with a major focus on information and communications technologies (ICTs), to enable communities to assert their communication rights and defend their rights to information and access to knowledge, towards progressive social transformation. FMA seeks to develop programs and projects that strategically address the questions of access to and equity of disadvantaged sectors in the area of information and communications – and in locating the so-called digital divide within existing socio-political divides, including gender. These involve: ● Promoting equitable partnerships for innovating connectivity and community access alternatives to assert the agenda of disadvantaged communities; ● Facilitating capacity-building sessions for CSOs in the area of ICT literacy, ICT management, online collaboration or advocacy, and secure online communications; ● Helping CSOs manage development content through appropriate tools and technologies towards building vibrant online communities and knowledge networks; and ● Enhancing multi-stakeholder consensus-building on strategic information and communication agendas, via action-oriented research, constituency-building and public advocacy.

  • Water Privatization in Metro Manila: Assessing the State of Equitable Water Provision
    WATER PRIVATIZATION IN METRO MANILA: ASSESSING THE STATE OF EQUITABLE WATER PROVISION by PHILAMER CARLOS TORIO B.Sc., University of the Philippines, 1979 M.Sc., University of the Philippines, 1983 M.M., Asian Institute of Management, 1990 M.P.A, Harvard University, 2001 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Philamer Carlos Torio, 2016 Abstract This dissertation extensively examines the Metro Manila water privatization, one of the largest and longest-running privatization programs in the world for a water utility. Regular performance assessments show significantly improved privatized water services since 1997, citing increased area coverage, with 24-hour supply of high pressure, good quality water. The dissertation takes performance assessment a step further by determining whether or not such services have been experienced by all consumers, particularly the urban poor. Scenarios where urban poor communities have not been able to benefit from improved water provision are identified through extensive analysis that foregrounds equity as a key parameter worthy of careful evaluation. Evidence-based equity metrics show that access and affordability remain critical issues for impoverished communities, despite considerable improvements shown by traditional metrics. Connected urban poor households enjoy improved water services, but affordability is a major concern requiring a review of existing water tariff structures. With limited supply options and low bargaining power, unconnected urban poor households in southern peri-urban areas pay high prices for monthly water consumption that is below the minimum World Health Organization standard, posing health risks to individuals and communities alike.
