    Philippines Stop Torture Npm Bill Action May 2016 Asa 28

    PHILIPPINES STOP TORTURE NPM BILL ACTION MAY 2016 ASA 28/3983/2016 BACKGROUND Torture at the hands of the police in the Philippines continues with alarming frequency while those responsible are almost always allowed to evade justice. Over a year after our report, Above the law: Police Torture in the Philippines was published, very little has changed – police torture is still rampant across the country with impunity, and only one perpetrator, police officer Jerick Dee Jimenez, has been convicted since the enactment of a landmark anti-torture law in 2009. As per its obligations under the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture, the Philippines should have put the establishment of a National Preventative Mechanism (NPM) for torture in place by April 2013. A NPM bill is currently filed before the Senate and the Philippine government has an opportunity to pass this bill. It’s high time this is done. We are urging the Senate to immediately establish the NPM which is currently filed before both the Congress and Senate, and to ensure regular meetings of the Oversight Committee as provided by the Anti-Torture Law Act to ensure that there are genuine criminal investigations in torture cases by police. GOAL The Philippine Senate passes the NPM bill in order to adequately address torture by police authorities, with a view to bringing perpetrators to justice and preventing further use of torture and other ill-treatment. TARGETS We are targeting eight senators who will be returning to the Senate after May 2016 elections including the current Senate President, Senator Franklin Drilon.

    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.
  • 'Sin' Tax Bill up for Crucial Vote

    'Sin' Tax Bill up for Crucial Vote

    Headline ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote MediaTitle Manila Standard Philippines (www.thestandard.com.ph) Date 03 Jun 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 6 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote Advocates of a law raising taxes on cigarettes worried that heavy lobbying by tobacco companies over the weekend could affect the vote in the Senate Monday. Former Philhealth director Anthony Leachon and UP College of Medicine faculty member Antonio Dans said a failure of the bill to pass muster would deprive the government’s Universal Health Care program of funding. “Definitely, the lobbying can affect how our senators will behave... how they will vote,” said Leachon, also chairman of the Council of Past Presidents of the Philippine College of Physicians. But Leachon and Dans said they remained confident that senators who supported the sin tax law in 2012 would support the new round of increases on cigarette taxes. These were Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Senators Panfilo Lacson, Francis Pangilinan, Antonio Trillanes IV and re-elected Senator Aquilino Pimentel III. They are also hopeful that the incumbent senators who voted against the increase in the excise taxes on cigarettes in 2012—Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senate Pro Tempore Ralph Rectp and outgoing Senators Francis Escudero and Gregorio Honasan—would have a change of heart. While Pimentel, who ran in the last midterm elections, supported the increase in tobacco taxes in 2012, he did not sign Senator Juan Edgardo Angara’s committee report, saying the bill should be properly scrutinized as it might result in the death of the tobacco industry.

Rodrigo Duterte and the New Terms of Philippine Populism Nicole Curato Centre for Deliberative Democracy & Global Governance, University of Canberra, Australia ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY This commentary aims to take stock of the 2016 presidential Published online elections in the Philippines that led to the landslide victory of 18 October 2016 ’ the controversial Rodrigo Duterte. It argues that part of Duterte s KEYWORDS ff electoral success is hinged on his e ective deployment of the Populism; Philippines; populist style. Although populism is not new to the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte; elections; Duterte exhibits features of contemporary populism that are befit- democracy ting of an age of communicative abundance. This commentary contrasts Duterte’s political style with other presidential conten- ders, characterises his relationship with the electorate and con- cludes by mapping populism’s democratic and anti-democratic tendencies, which may define the quality of democratic practice in the Philippines in the next six years. The first six months of 2016 were critical moments for Philippine democracy. In February, the nation commemorated the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution – a series of peaceful mass demonstrations that ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III – the son of the president who replaced the dictator – led the commemoration. He asked Filipinos to remember the atrocities of the authoritarian regime and the gains of democracy restored by his mother. He reminded the country of the torture, murder and disappearance of scores of activists whose families still await compensation from the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board.

Date: 7 June 2015 Name: Neliza Noble Macapayag Signature: Neliza Noble Macapayag CEU eTD Collection ABSTRACT The state of corruption in the Philippines has reached a deplorable state. The Philippine budget is identified as a source of corruption as it directly involves the allocation of public money. This study traced the Philippine budget process and identified the various actors that intervened therein. Through process tracing and content analysis, various risks of corruption were identified in each of the four phases of the budget process. These risks include the following: (1) the abuse of discretion by government officials; (2) the failure to make the process transparent; (3) the abuse of discretion in the use of lump sum funds; and (4) the abuse of the authority to reallocate savings in the budget. With the identification of these risks of corruption, appropriate policies were designed to control corruption in the Philippine budget.
