  • Controlling Corruption in the Philippine Budget
    CONTROLLING CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINE BUDGET By Neliza Noble Macapayag Submitted to Central European University Department of Public Policy In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Public Policy Supervisor: Karoly Zoltan Jokay CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 Author’s Declaration I, the undersigned Neliza Noble Macapayag hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis.

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.

  • Social Climate/Column for Phil Daily Inquirer
    About low survey ratings Page 1 of 3 Column for Philippine Daily Inquirer PDI 09-04, 1-22-08 [for publication on 1-24-2008] About low survey ratings Mahar Mangahas Monday’s SWS release included the first reading of public opinion on Juan Ponce Enrile as Senate President. At the start of last December, there were 38 percent satisfied and 33 dissatisfied with his performance, or a net satisfaction rating of +5. SWS refers to +5 as “neutral” since single-digit net ratings are indistinguishable from zero, and zero means exact balance between satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Based on the SWS archives, which show that Mr. Enrile had net scores of +21 in September 2008 and +30 in December 2007, his new score of +5 is definitely a comedown. Strictly speaking, however, it’s more appropriate to compare it with ratings of earlier senate presidents than with ratings of plain senators, including JPE himself before he headed the senate. The previous senate head, Manny Villar, had scores from +39 to +59, which are “good” to “very good’ in SWS terminology, ending at +43 in September 2008. Except for Franklin Drilon’s +2 (February 2005) and +8 (March 2005), all other senate presidents, since 1990, had scores of +22 and up (“moderate” starts at net +10, “good” at +30, and “very good” at +50). Why did public satisfaction with Mr. Enrile drop so much, compared to when he was a plain senator? I think the only thing that could have made a big impression on the public was the sudden realignment in the senate, which led to his takeover from the very popular Mr.

  • Not for Citation
    Asymmetrical Interests, Disjointed Capacities: the Central-Local Dynamics of Political Violence Sol Iglesias PhD candidate, National University of Singapore Why does political violence occur in a weak state with an unconsolidated democracy? The real puzzle is when it does not occur. I argue that interests and capacity can result in political violence, but why violence is used, when it starts, and why it ends is contingent upon central-local dynamics. Central-local dynamics are the resolution of strategic and particularistic interests coupled with the capacity afforded by powerful national and local political actors to use violence in response to threats. In Northern Luzon, the so-called “Solid North” bailiwick of the Marcos dynasty and its immediate environs, elections account for most of the violence that occurs. Interactions between national and local elites were visible during elections, but account for little else in the intervals between them. Levels of violence were relatively low, the lowest across the cases. citation In Eastern Visayas, the New People’s Army (NPA) of the communist insurgency posed a serious threat. Attacks against the militaryfor and police left multiple casualties among state security forces. The army believed that the NPA had infiltrated hundreds of villages and compromised locally elected officials. The central government stepped up its counter-insurgency operations, brutally and illegally targeting civilians. The NPA was eventually drivenNot down , their ranks crippled further after successive natural calamities. In Central- Luzon, state security forces were directed against civilians and community organizers to protect economic interests of powerful local politicians—not least of which was the Cojuangco-Aquino family.

  • The Hollow State: Human Rights and the State Imaginary
    THE HOLLOW STATE: HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE STATE IMAGINARY by HELEN DELFELD A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science written under the direction of Professor D. Michael Shafer and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey [October, 2008] © 2008 Copyright Helen Delfeld All rights reserved Abstract of the Dissertation The Hollow State: Human Rights and the State Imaginary by Helen J. Delfeld Chair: D. Michael Shafer My work suggests that looking at the state as a discourse rather than a positivistic (real, material) entity will help us understand how people might better access human rights; in the process of doing so, we break the idea of human rights away from a purely legalistic enterprise. The discourse that makes up each state differs, and that difference matters in the discourse of human rights. I label the Philippines a new kind of discursive entity, a “hollow state”. A hollow state fulfills many of the discursive expectations of stateness, but is supported more by external constituencies than internal ones – violating the imaginary that all states share some characteristics with nation-states. This study consists of a two-pronged investigation of the difference in governance discourse between the local level and the state level on the island province of Palawan in the Philippines. I interviewed 207 people involved in rights-oriented programs as participants or providers, in Palawan, in the Philippines. Content analysis was also done on government documents in Manila.
