    Culture of Philippines

    The president, Benigno Simeon Aquino III plays an important role to Filipino society as the current 15th president of the Philippines. His father held an important position residing as the 13th president and was assassinated in 1983. Aquino’s mother took over the position of power shortly after but then passed away due to cancer. In 1998, Aquino represented a position in public services to guarantee the democracy his parents fought for bringing exponential changes to people’s lives. From 1998 to 2007, he served as Representative of the 2nd District of Tarlac. Not long after, he then took part with the Philippine Senate position bringing about the protection of human rights, honesty, and responsible governance. With Aquino’s strong and influential background, people began to recognize and call on urging him to run for presidency in 2010 to continue his parents’ work eventually resulting in his proclamation as the President Elect of the Philippines. In Aquino’s inaugural address on June 30, 2010, he told the Filipino people: “We are here to serve and not to lord over you. The mandate given to me was one of change. I accept your marching orders to transform our government from one that is self-serving to one that works for the welfare of the nation”…

    The Impact Of The Toxic Triangle Theory In The Philippines

    In 1972, the Philippines was ruled under a Martial Law by President Ferdinand Marcos because of a threat of armed communist insurgency, among other reasons (“Proclamation,” n.d.). This phenomenon made a big impact in the Philippines. Some of its effects are constitution manipulation, reduction of crime which led to human rights violation, stability of the economy, and cut off of mass media and communication (Frivaldo & Orozco, 2014). Despite this, in the recent years, the Marcos family still holds position in the government. Imelda Marcos, the wife of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, is the congresswoman of the second district of Ilocos Norte (“House,” n.d.). Imee Marcos, the daughter of said late president, was elected as governor of the…

    | Quezon had emerged as the acknowledged leader of Philippine politics and possessed the kind of background and experience that appealed to Filipinos. He had a bachelor of arts degree, studied law, and landed fourth place in the 1903 Bar examinations. He served in the revolution, fighting in Tarlac, Pampanga, and Bataan, and ended up with the rank of major. He was appointed provincial fiscal of Mindoro and Tayabas, his home province. He was elected governor of Tayabas in 1905 and in 1907, first assemblyman from the province to the First Philippine National Assembly.In 1909, he was appointed resident commissioner to the U.S. and when he finished his term after eight years, he returned to the Philippines to become President of the Philippine Senate, created by the Jones Law. He was also top man of the ruling Nacionalista Party. Quezon’s term (1935 - 1944), though chiefly known for making Pilipino the national language, tried to solve nagging problems inherited from the Spanish and American administrations.He directed his main efforts to bring about political stability, build up national defense against the threat of Japanese militarism, and strengthen an economy that was extremely dependent upon the U.S. He was also remembered for taking executive and legislative actions to implement his “social justice” program aimed at the underprivileged. The Commonwealth Government was interrupted by the Japanese invasion of 1941. Quezon and his…

    Martial Law in Philippines Analysis

    In a documentary I watched Garcia (1997). He said that 1969, elections came around when Marcos run for his second term, and that was the dirtiest, fraudulent ever. When that election came rise in dollar out bared. That was the most expensive election. On 1971 after the Plaza Bombing, Filipinos don’t have trust, due to disappointment to Marcos. Marcos opponents in that election won that’s Liberal party in which people who became the victim of Plaza Bombing. On 1972 all of the people contradict to Marcos or his enemies were arrested by police and the military. Including Benigno Aquino became his mortal enemy. Many people arrested. Nobody knows what is happening because all of the media controlled by Marcos all you can hear is just music. The government set Plebiscite to produced new constitution but soon he realized that he might lost because all people are in favor for Benigno and Diokno so he changed it to voting through raising hands, even kids were allowed to vote and then they will going to ask, who wants free food, because of poverty many people will raised they’re hands. Marcos did consult to Richard Nixon about his…

    Manuel L. Quezon

    As the result of my research I found out that Manuel Luis Quezón y Molina (August 19, 1878 – August 1, 1944) served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He was the first Filipino to head a government of the Philippines. Quezón is considered by most Filipinos to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1897–1901). ). Quezon played a major role in obtaining Congress' passage in 1916 of the Jones Act, which pledged independence for the Philippines without giving a specific date when it would take effect. He fought for passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act (1934), which provided for full independence for the Philippines 10 years after the creation of a constitution and the establishment of a Commonwealth government that would be the forerunner of an independent republic. As president, he reorganized the islands' military defense (aided by Gen. Douglas MacArthur as his special adviser), tackled the huge problem of landless peasants in the countryside who still worked as tenants on large estates, promoted the settlement and development of the large southern island of Mindanao, and fought graft and corruption in the government. A new national capital, later known as Quezon City, was built in a suburb of Manila. I also found out that Quezon is a long-time columnist and editorial writer of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and head of its "Speaker’s Bureau." He is also a columnist of and assistant managing editor and editorial writer for The Philippine Free Press weekly news.…

    Reaction Paper on the article: Leadership and the common good by Randy David : Public Lives, Philippine Daily Inquirer Sunday, Jan. 9, 2005.

    Every Filipino dreams that one-day, we would be saved by a great leader who will pull us out of poverty and free from the dictates of other powerful nations. For more than once we have shown the world the power our people through bloodless revolutions that made us inspire and earn the respect of other nations. Plagued by amnesia, our resounding voices were easily silenced and our flaming spirit gone cold. We were unable to sustain the energy that we had... thinking that change will be that simple... that easy... that sudden. Indeed the Arroyo government survives not because of active support of the Filipino people, but because the alternative was unthinkable. For a while let us put aside our negative comments, we may not exactly know if the administration is religiously doing its job, but we can always assess ourselves on our own performance as followers.…

    Inside the Mind of a Dictator

    Forty years after the imposition of martial law in the Philippines, in accordance with Presidential Proclamation 1081, dated September 21, 1972. Most Filipinos have their different opinions and speculations why former president Marcos declared martial law, was it to restore the order of the nation that was being torn down by, himself, the leader of this very own nation or was it for his personal reason to extend his reign beyond December 30, 1973.…

    PNOy Inaugural address

    YEAR AGO this week, on 30 June 2010, Benigno Simeon Aquino III, known as “Noynoy,” was sworn in as president of the Philippines. He came to power with a sense of destiny derived, above all, from his parents. His father, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, was gunned down on the tarmac of the Manila airport when he returned to the Philippines in August 1983 to lead the opposition against dictator Ferdinand Marcos. His mother, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, became the iconic leader of a Yellow Revolution that captivated the world. Thrust into the presidency upon the downfall of Marcos in the People Power uprising of February 1986, she remained a widely respected figure in Philippine politics until her death from cancer in August 2009.…
