Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present Government of Philippines It is the purpose of this volume to picture the present system of government in the Philippines, its basic foundations, the principles which underlie its workings, as well as the different governmental organs which have been established by the Jones Law, or as an interpretation of the Jones Law. It is not a discussion of legal provisions, but a discussion of actual facts. It is not an attempt at constitutional law but at political science. It is confined almost exclusively to the broad framework of our central government. It does not deal with its historical development or with the provincial, municipal, or city governments. These other matters, together with a large part of the subjects discussed in the following chapters, are taken up, although in a more elementary form, in "Philippine Government" by Malcolm and Kalaw, written primarily as a textbook for high schools, which may be published in the near future. The writer has tried impartially to present the facts about our present political institutions and practices as he found them. When, however, he is obliged to discuss their merits and demerits, he has stated nothing but his personal opinion. It is his fervent hope that such a discussion would incite further study by other students of political science and would be of no passing interest to the citizens of the Philippines themselves, who are determined to make our government - known the world over as the greatest experiment ever attempted at tropical democracy - a decided success. The author desires to express his sincere obligation to Justice George A. Malcolm, for the permission granted him to use the materials which the Justice has collected for his Constitutional Government of the Philippines. His book on "The Government of the Philippine Islands" has, moreover, been quoted in some parts of the present volume. Professor Wilgus, of the department of Journalism, University of the Philippines, has also been kind enough to proof-read the manuscript and to offer valuable suggestions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1899 the United States, having announced its arrival as a world power during the Spanish-Cuban-American War, inaugurated a brutal war of imperial conquest against the Philippine Republic. Over the next five decades, U.S. imperialists justified their colonial empire by crafting novel racial ideologies adapted to new realities of collaboration and anticolonial resistance. In this path breaking, transnational study, Paul A. Kramer reveals how racial politics served U.S. empire, and how empire-building in turn transformed ideas of race and nation in both the United States and the Philippines. Kramer argues that Philippine-American colonial history was characterized by struggles over sovereignty and recognition. In the wake of a racial-exterminist war, U.S. colonialists, in dialogue with Filipino elites, divided the Philippine population into ''civilized'' Christians and ''savage'' animists and Muslims. The former were subjected to a calibrated colonialism that gradually extended them self-government as they demonstrated their ''capacities.'' The latter were governed first by Americans, then by Christian Filipinos who had proven themselves worthy of shouldering the ''white man's burden.'' Ultimately, however, this racial vision of imperial nation-building collided with U.S. nativist efforts to insulate the United States from its colonies, even at the cost of Philippine independence. Kramer provides an innovative account of the global transformations of race and the centrality of empire to twentieth-century U.S. and Philippine histories.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippines to the End of the Commission Government: A Study in Tropical Democracy In the volume entitled The Philippines: To the End of the Military Regime, I endeavored to present the background of history against which the American treatment of the Philippines must be projected in order to be understood, to show the place which our Philippine policy holds in the history of colonization, and to state the principles upon which it rests and the reasons which actuated the American government in assuming the responsibility for the government of the Archipelago. The story of the American occupation was brought down to the inauguration of a civil governor on the fourth of July, 1901. The present volume contains an account of the origin, institution and nature of the Philippine government, the manner in which it has been administered, and a summary and analysis of what has been accomplished by the Americans and Filipinos during the past sixteen years. That a nation which maintains colonies is always on trial before the world is true in a peculiar sense of the United States because of the benevolent and altruistic motives which were declared to control her Philippine policy. The American people feel that the honor of their country is involved in the Philippine experiment, and it is of vital importance that they should know and understand what has been done in their remote dependency. In order properly to appreciate and value that work and judge of its permanency it must be remembered that the American occupation broke the continuity of Philippine history, introduced the Filipinos to new principles and ideals of life, and different conceptions of the essential legal and political rights of individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and commodity prices, addressing poverty and inequality in the Philippines remains a challenge. The proportion of households living below the official poverty line has declined slowly and unevenly in the past four decades, and poverty reduction has been much slower than in neighboring countries such as the People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth, are considered some of the key factors constraining poverty reduction efforts. This publication analyzes the causes of poverty and recommends ways to accelerate poverty reduction and achieve more inclusive growth. it also provides an overview of current government responses, strategies, and achievements in the fight against poverty and identifies and prioritizes future needs and interventions. The analysis is based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey.

Download or read book State and Society in the Philippines written by Patricio N. Abinales and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and nuanced introduction explores the Philippines’ ongoing and deeply charged dilemma of state-society relations through a historical treatment of state formation and the corresponding conflicts and collaboration between government leaders and social forces. Patricio N. Abinales and Donna J. Amoroso examine the long history of institutional weakness in the Philippines and the varied strategies the state has employed to overcome its structural fragility and strengthen its bond with society. The authors argue that this process reflects the country’s recurring dilemma: on the one hand is the state’s persistent inability to provide essential services, guarantee peace and order, and foster economic development; on the other is the Filipinos’ equally enduring suspicions of a strong state. To many citizens, this powerfully evokes the repression of the 1970s and the 1980s that polarized society and cost thousands of lives in repression and resistance and billions of dollars in corruption, setting the nation back years in economic development and profoundly undermining trust in government. The book’s historical sweep starts with the polities of the pre-colonial era and continues through the first year of Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial presidency.
