2018 is a year of so much uneasiness and tension in Philippine politics. It saw one of the greatest crises in the Supreme Court, the bloodiest period in local politics of late, and successive attempts to silence critics of the president and the government. This year also witnessed major political alignments in the Duterte administration: a change in the leadership of the Senate, the election of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as Speaker of the House, the rivalry between Hugpong ng Pagbabago and Partido Demokratiko ng Pilipinas-Lakas ng Bayan, and the eventual termination of the alliance with the radical left. This review aims to understand these developments in Philippine politics. It seeks to know why are there so many rifts and shifts in the political rule of Duterte. These changes can be interpreted as part of an ongoing transition toward democratic regression under the Duterte regime. The disruptive events that ensued throughout the year should be understood as the offshoot of the extant efforts to alter the political status quo since the election of Duterte in 2016. The administration uses these events to consolidate its power by rallying its supporters for the 2019 midterm elections and reconfiguring the alignments within the Duterte bloc.

ABSTRACT Social movement theory links protest to psychological (grievance, system justification, uncertainty salience), strategic (costs, trust, norms), resource-based (sex, age, income, group membership, political interest, media consumption), and structural (political opportunity structures) predictors. This paper answers the question, “Why do people protest in the Philippines?” by assessing whether these variables predict protest in the Philippines using data from the 2012 World Values Survey. Specifically, it tests the following hypotheses: (1) more altruistic people are more likely to engage in protest; (2) more trusting respondents are more likely to engage in protest; (3) the relationship between trust and protest differ among active group members, non-active group members, and non-members; and (4) the association between trust and protest and between altruism and protest will differ between low- and high-cost protests. Estimates using binary logistic regression suggest that sex, group membership, political interest, and consumption of certain types of media consistently predict participation in protest. In addition, there is also evidence that factors that predict high-cost protest action do not predict low-cost protest action. Lastly, trust and system justification were also found to predict protest but in directions opposite those established by previous research.

Raul V. Fabella’s Capitalism and Inclusion under Weak Institutions is a compelling treatise on a wide range of economic development challenges faced by the Philippines. The Philippines’ national scientist in Economics does not disappoint with his latest book which lays out some of his candid thoughts on the policy options faced by the Philippines today. It is impossible to react to all the ideas in this book without putting together another full volume. Hence, I will focus this brief reaction on the conjointed issues of inequality and economic growth which the book revisits with provocative flair.

ABSTRACT Political thinking is that essential process of reflecting on the collective human existence. One cannot analyze politics without thinking politically. One cannot think politically without also thinking about politics. Political thinking in the Philippines during the twentienth century is a series of conversations that reflect on the country's different political challenges - from its dysfunctional democracy to its weak and corrupt bureaucracy - and intended to liberate and transform society.
