Dialectic analysis is a genius painting of what election really is in the Philippines. The abstract that once was in our minds as “flowery words and promises”of our Presidents from the past and contemporary has been materialized into ideas like populism, clientilism and reformism. Part of its beauty I think is that the dialectic analysis will serve as our very guide in future elections that we are to witness. With these ideas provided by Hegel we can already categorize who uses populism, clientilism, reformism and other similar “papogi/paganda” strategies of our politicians. Also we, on our own, can coin other similar terms based on empiricism. With this analysis we can then om our own rational minds assess how to use our right to suffrage wisely.
ReplyDeleteArroyo with the belief of impending insurgencies against her seat issued Presidential Proclamation 1017 that allows the government to enforce warrantless arrests and seize private institutionsand companies. The ill-fated newspaper company the Daily Tribune tasted the law’s fury when it was shut own in 2006 and Batasan Five partylist whose key members like Teodoro Casino and Satur Ocampo were placed under custody although the proclamation was short-lived its constitutionality was rigorously questioned. This surely is predatory A person who seeks to gain power or advancement within an organization in ways that are generally disapproved. Marcos on the other hand with Proclamation no. 1081 in 1972 has seized a large amount of freedom rights enjoyed by people. One of this is General Order No. 5 that disallow demonstrations pickueting and the like. But Marcos was indeed right when he said, “It is easier perhaps and more comfortable to look back to the solace of a familiar and mediocre past. But the times are too grave and the stakes too high for us to permit the customary concessions to traditional democratic processes” But then the standards of the world like freedom, and rights are paramount to consider than an autocratic rule or predatory in that sense.
