Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the legacies of Ferdinand Marcos' "constitutional authoritarianism" has been the near-displacement of the two old and well established political parties which monopolized Philippine politics before martial law. Today they are only minor players on the Philippine political stage. Their weakness, shown by their failure to withstand the six short years between the abolition of the Philippine Congress in 1972 and the holding of the elections in 1978 for Marcos' Interim Legislative Assembly, reveals one of the major flaws of pre-martial law Philippine democracy: The absence of a strong, responsive and responsible party system. We attribute the early successes and later weaknesses of the old parties to their failure to reflect in their rivalry the major social cleavages of Philippine society. Since the parties were virtually identical in their demographic and socio-economic bases of support, they were indistinguishable in their policies as well. This created an appearance of national harmony by avoiding serious debate over socially divisive issues of national policy. It also served to personalize and trivialize election campaigns. But if political parties do not reflect the salient cleavages of a society and thus promote the discussion and resolution of social issues by democratic means, the social conflict may move outside the electoral arena and be addressed by force. This happened in the Philippines. In this paper, we examine election returns, census data and some data on the issue orientations of members of the new Congress with a view to discerning whether the divisions of the post-Marcos political party system better reflect major social cleavages. We found that there were clear differences between the geographic and socio-economic sources of support for the two major party coalitions. But these differences mainly reflect linguistic-regional loyalties--notably the presence or absence of Ilocano-speaking voters--to the principal presidential contenders of 1986. These differences between rival coalitions are not likely to endure after the last of the standard-bearers of 1986 have left the political scene. There were some minor differences in socio-economic sources of electoral support at the 1987 congressional election among the parties in the now dominant anti-Marcos coalition. yet these were not mirrored in the policy orientations of their Congressional blocks. Outside of the major coalitions however, the communist-led Alliance for a New Politics at the 1987 congressional election showed that it had both a class based and regional, if numerically limited, base of voter support. Its strongest predictor was farm tenancy. We conclude with an examination of the development of party systems in Latin American and Western Europe pertinent to the prospects and probable direction of change in the Philippines "catch-all" party system."

Book excerpt: The Philippine dictatorship of Ferdinand E. Marcos was characterized by family-based rule and corruption. This sultanistic regime--in which the ruler exercised power freely, without loyalty to any ideology or institution--had to be brought down because Marcos would never step down. In this book Mark Thompson analyzes how Marcos' opponents in the political and economic elite coped with this situation and why their struggle resulted in a transition to democracy through "people power" rather than through violence and revolution. Based on 150 interviews that Thompson conducted with key participants and on unpublished materials collected during his five trips to the Philippines, the book sheds new light on the transition process. Thompson reveals how anti-Marcos politicians backed a terrorist campaign by social democrats and then, after its failure, joined a "united front" with the communists. But when opposition leader Benigno S. Aquino, Jr., was assassinated in 1983, the politicians were able to draw on public outrage and challenge Marcos at the polls. The opposition's "moral crusade" brought down Marcos and enabled the new president, Corazon C. Aquino, to consolidate democracy despite the troubling legacies of the dictatorship. Thompson argues that the Philippines' long-standing democratic tradition and the appeal that honest government had to the Filipinos were important elements in explaining the peaceful transition process.
