Don’t let a “good” crisis go to waste: One-upmanship in local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Julian Thomas B. Alvareza, Jahm Mae E. Guintoa,b, Joseph J. Capunob† aAsian Development Bank bUniversity of the Philippines Abstract Unlike in previous crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a crisis affecting all population groups, all economic sectors and all jurisdictions in the Philippines, as elsewhere. The impact of the COVID-19 vary across localities, however, partly due to differences in local government responses to the pandemic. Our objective is to examine the patterns in the types and timing of local responses among neighboring local government units (cities) for evidence of one- upmanship among their incumbent leaders (mayors). We assembled data for 25 selected cities and then grouped them into 28 neighborhood clusters. Using three indicators, we measure the immediacy, primacy and distinctiveness of the local responses within each cluster over the period March 2020-March 2021. Of the 28 clusters, we find in 19 (67.9 percent) evidence of one- upmanship consistent with the view that the type and timing of local responses are driven by mayors who wish to signal their talents and abilities.

  • Hellfire: Charred Lives and Burning Resolve of the Kentex Tragedy
    Hellfire: Charred Lives and Burning Resolve of the Kentex Tragedy The Kentex Tragedy It was not only the searing memories of screaming voices and flashing flames that awakened Terrence King Ong, the operations manager of Kentex Manufacturing Corporation, in the Philippines, who was hospitalized with third-degree burns after the May 13, 2015, fire at his factory. It was grief for his son, Tristan, who died while helping workers escape.1 He grieved as well for the employees who did not make it out. Indeed, his imaginings of their unanswered pleas for help made him break down in tears. He humbly appealed to the public, “Please forgive me. Give me another chance.”2 At least 72 people died in the fire, dozens were injured, and another dozen were listed as missing. The aftermath was grim (see Exhibit 1).3 The tragedy was not unprecedented. In 1975, a wig factory burned down and killed 42 workers in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.4 The worst case recorded in the country was the Ozone Disco fire in a Manila suburb, which claimed 150 lives in 1996.5 Exhibit 1 Published by WDI Publishing, a division of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan. © 2015 Liberty I. Nolasco. This case was written by Liberty I. Nolasco, Assistant Professor of the Management and Organization Department at Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business at De La Salle University in the Philippines. This case was prepared as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a situation.

  • Cimatu Pinuri Ang Mga Nakasagip Sa Ibong Endemic Sa Gitna Ng ECQ
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE May 11, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : Cimatu pinuri ang mga nakasagip sa ibong endemic sa gitna ng ECQ May 10, 2020 @ 4:57 PM 15 hours ago Views: 224 Manila, Philippines – Dahil sa pagkakasagip sa tinaguriang endemic bird sa gitna ng quarantine pinuri ni Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu ang mga wildlife officers na nakasagip sa blue-naped parrot sa Manila habang ipinatutupad ang enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa Luzon at iba pang lugar sa bansa upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng COVID-19. “Our wildlife enforcers deserve a salute for their efforts to recover a national treasure – the blue-naped parrot that is endemic to Luzon and classified as ‘near threatened’ or may be considered threatened with extinction in the near future,” sabi ni Cimatu. Ayon sa DENR ang mga wildlife officers na tinutukoy ni Cimatu ay ang mga tauhan ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-National Capital Region na pinangunahan ni Special Investigator Rey Florano. Magugunitang noong Abril 29, 2020 nang magtungo ang grupo ni Florano sa condominium building sa San Andres Bukid matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono mula sa isang residente na nagngangalang Athena Parado dahil sa pagkakakita sa ibon sa kanilang lugar. Matapos mailigtas ang ibon ay agad itong dinala ng grupo sa Wildlife Rescue Center ng DENR’s Biodiversity Management Bureau sa Quezon City kung saan ito mananatili at aalagaan. Ayon kay Cimatu, patuloy ang DENR sa pagtupad sa kanilang mandato na protektahan ang ating “flora at fauna” kahit na mayroong COVID-19 crisis.

  • THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications
    CenPEG Political Situationer No. 07 10 July 2019 THE MAY 2019 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: Outcomes, Process, Policy Implications Introduction The May 2019 mid-term elections took place amidst the now familiar problems of compromised voting transparency and accuracy linked with the automated election system (AES). Moreover, martial law was still in place in Mindanao making it difficult for opposition candidates to campaign freely. Towards election time, the systematic red-tagging and harassment of militant opposition candidates and civil society organizations further contributed to an environment of fear and impunity. In this context, the Duterte administration’s official candidates and allies won most of the contested seats nationally and locally but how this outcome impacts on the remaining three years of the administration is open to question. This early, the partisan realignments and negotiations for key positions in both the House and the Senate and the maneuverings for the 2022 presidential elections are already in place. Such actions are bound to deepen more opportunistic behavior by political allies and families and affect the political capital of the presidency as it faces new challenges and problems in its final three years in office. The Senate Elections: “Duterte Magic?” In an electoral process marred by persistent transparency and accuracy problems embedded in the automated election system, the administration candidates and allies dominated the elections. This victory has been attributed to the so-called “Duterte magic” but a careful analysis of the winning 12 candidates for the Senate shows a more nuanced reading of the results. At best, President Duterte and the administration can claim full credit for the victory of four senators: Christopher “Bong” Go, Ronald “Bato” de la Rosa, Francis Tolentino, and Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III.
