In line with its efforts of strengthening its electoral article systems, it has also taken a leading role in the region in promoting and protecting the rights of voters with disabilities by becoming one of the first States Parties to ratify the United Nations convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). A key provision of the UNCRPD is affording voters with disabilities the equal opportunity to engage in every electoral process on an equal basis with other abled-bodied vot- ers. However, in spite of recent developments, the Philippines has yet to effectively implement disability-inclusive electoral policies and processes that would not only engage able-bodied Filipino voters but also one of the country’s largest minority com- munity—Filipino voters with disabilities. This paper examines the effectiveness of the Philippine government in ensuring that Filipino voters with disabilities are guaranteed with and are able to exercise their right to suffrage.

  • Kapampangan Lexical Borrowing from Tagalog: Endangerment Rather Than Enrichment Michael Raymon M
    Kapampangan Lexical Borrowing from Tagalog: Endangerment rather than Enrichment Michael Raymon M. Pangilinan [email protected] Abstract It has sometimes been argued that the Kapampangan language will not be endangered by lexical borrowings from other languages and that lexical borrowings help enrich a language rather than endanger it. This paper aims to prove otherwise. Rather than being enriched, the socio-politically dominant Tagalog language has been replacing many indigenous words in the Kapampangan language in everyday communication. A number of everyday words that have been in use 20 years ago ~ bígâ (clouds), sangkan (reason), bungsul (to faint) and talágâ (artesian well) just to name a few ~ have all been replaced by Tagalog loan words and are no longer understood by most young people. This paper would present a list of all the words that have been replaced by Tagalog, and push the issue that lexical borrowing from a dominant language leads to endangerment rather than enrichment. I. Introduction At first glance, the Kapampangan language does not seem to be endangered. It is one of the eight major languages of the Philippines with approximately 2 million speakers (National Census and Statistics Office, 2003). It is spoken by the majority in the province of Pampanga, the southern half of the province of Tarlac, the northeast quarter of the province of Bataan, and the bordering communities of the provinces of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija (Fig. 1). It has an established literature, with its grammar being studied as early as 1580 by the Spanish colonisers (Manlapaz, 1981). It has also recently penetrated the electronic media: the first ever province-wide news in the Kapampangan language was televised in 2007 by the Pampanga branch of the Manila-based ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation.

    Discussion Paper No.171 The Constraints School of Local Governments in the Philippines: Governance to Government? Aser B. Javier, Ph.D. May 2009 Graduate School of International Development NAGOYA UNIVERSITY NAGOYA 464-8601, JAPAN 〒464-8601 名古屋市千種区不老町 名古屋大学大学院国際開発研究科 The Constraints School of Local Governments in the Philippines: Governance to Government? Aser B. Javier, Ph.D.1 Abstract This conceptual paper aims to account the emerging constraints school in the local governments of the Philippines. The constraints school (e.g. Weiss, 2003; Lingermayer and Feiock, 2003; and Goldratt, 1984) argues that changes in the external landscape represented by national institutional indiscretion limits the internal landscape that local actors must deal with. This paper argues that the national tradition of governance shapes and influences local institutional factors, and holds the key to the constraints school from governance to government. It does so by examining the national-local experiences and the interactions among these factors through three cases. The study found out that a three-level dynamics influences the shape of local institutions. The first level dynamics refers to the national formal normative orientations that characterize the national government as a political institution. Second is the local government's capacity that structure local actions. The third refers to the politics-corporate balance of local government policy on decentralization. This paper concludes that the evolution of the constraints school implicitly establishes the outcomes of the current local governance in the Philippines as an unintended consequence of the practice of decentralization throughout the seventeen-year period.

  • Mafia-Style Domination: the Philippine Province of Pampanga
    PRIF-Report No. 114 Mafia-style Domination: The Philippine Province of Pampanga Peter Kreuzer I would like to thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for the generous grant provided for the project “Genesis, Structure and Workings of Coercive Systems of Social Control” (BR 878/22-2). Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2012 Correspondence to: PRIF Baseler Str. 27-31 D-60329 Frankfurt am Main Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-43-3 € 10.00 Summary This PRIF-report analyses provincial politics in Pampanga, one of the economically most developed provinces of the Philippines outside Metro-Manila. The report argues that the observable patterns of local domination in this province can best be likened to Mafia-style domination. That is not to say, however, that organised crime dominates Pampanga. The concept of Mafia-style domination has been developed and applied to Pampanga in order to de- scribe a social order in which political domination is gauged in the language of kinship, relying on a combination of patronage and intimidation/violence that together closely resemble patterns exhibited by the Italian Mafia from the mid 19th century into the 1960s. In the first section, the report develops a model of Mafia-style domination that is derived from an analysis of the ‘traditional’ Mafia. Mafia is understood not as a specific enculturated form of organized crime, but as a hybridised and fairly holistic system of political, economic and social domination, bridging and distorting tradition and modernity alike.
