  • Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974
    Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974 By Joseph Paul Scalice A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in South and Southeast Asian Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Associate Professor Jerey Hadler, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor Andrew Barshay Summer 2017 Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1957-1974 Copyright 2017 by Joseph Paul Scalice 1 Abstract Crisis of Revolutionary Leadership: Martial Law and the Communist Parties of the Philippines, 1959–1974 by Joseph Paul Scalice Doctor of Philosophy in South and Southeast Asian Studies University of California, Berkeley Associate Professor Jerey Hadler, Chair In 1967 the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (pkp) split in two. Within two years a second party – the Communist Party of the Philippines (cpp) – had been founded. In this work I argue that it was the political program of Stalinism, embodied in both parties through three basic principles – socialism in one country, the two-stage theory of revolution, and the bloc of four classes – that determined the fate of political struggles in the Philippines in the late 1960s and early 1970s and facilitated Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law in September 1972. I argue that the split in the Communist Party of the Philippines was the direct expression of the Sino-Soviet split in global Stalinism. The impact of this geopolitical split arrived late in the Philippines because it was initially refracted through Jakarta.

    PHILIPPI N E E L E C T I O N 2 0 1 0 Caucus of Development NGO Networks Introduction This is a compilation of profiles of selected national candidates for the May 2010 Philippine elections. These profiles contain basic information, significant achievements and known advocacies of the national candidates. Much as we would want to include all the national candidates for the 2010 elections, time and resources serve as a significant limitation in accomplishing this. The information in these profiles was taken from a research, mainly using various websites including the official websites of the candidates. The initial drafts of most of these profiles were presented to and discussed at seven (7) regional consultations last July – August 2009 that also discussed the draft of the Development and Reform Agenda for 2010-2013. The feedback from those consultations was used to improve the profiles. After the deadline for the filing of candidacies last December 1, 2009, we added a handful of profiles, particularly for the candidates that we had not expected before. This research and publication were undertaken by the Caucus of Development NGO Networks (CODE-NGO) with the intention of helping Filipino voters in critically assessing and evaluating the national candidates. CODE-NGO encourages the use, translation, adaptation and copying of this material for non-commercial use, with appropriate credit given to CODE-NGO. We acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of the researchers, Ms. Anne Marie Lim and Ms. Paula Bianca Lapuz, the project staff, Mr. Tristan Frederick Tresvalles, Mr. Patrick Lim and Ms. Ma.

  • Probing the Iglesia Vote: Religious Endorsement and Iglesia Support in the 2004 and 2010 Senatorial Elections*
    Probing the Iglesia Vote: Religious Endorsement and Iglesia Support in the 2004 and 2010 Senatorial Elections* Allan Cairo Reyes Abstract The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) has had considerable influence in Philippine politics following the so-called EDSA Revolution of 1986. This is evident in the success of its candidate endorsement in elections, which has elicited allegations of the religious sect engaging in bloc voting. This phenomenon invites an inquiry into the efficacy of such endorsement. How potent is an Iglesia endorsement? To answer this question, this study obtained measures of Iglesia support (Iglesia Ni Cristo vote share) using 2004 and 2010 exit poll data for senators and analyzed these with Iglesia Ni Cristo candidate endorsement data and candidate popularity ratings. Ordinary least squares and logistic regression models were estimated to determine which variables really command votes from members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, as well as to gauge whether or not candidate popularity is the primary consideration in the organization’s endorsement. Findings suggest that while both endorsement and popularity produce INC votes, an Iglesia endorsement is contingent upon the candidates’ projected winning margins. Moreover, there is a positive relationship between candidate popularity and the likelihood of an INC endorsement. ___________ * An early version of this paper was presented at the 9thAnnual Congress of the Asian Political and International Studies Association (APISA9) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2015. Keywords: bloc vote, endorsement, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Philippine elections, Philippine politics 24 Probing the Iglesia Vote The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) has been successful with candidate endorsement over the last four senatorial elections.1 Of the twelve senatorial candidates endorsed by the INC in the 2013 elections, ten emerged victorious.
