What is State of Democracy in the Philippines about?
The document discusses the state of democracy and governance in the Philippines. It finds that while there are democratic processes, institutions are weak and flawed, perpetuating poverty, corruption, and public disillusionment. Democracy is described as "elite" or "cacique," with power concentrated among a few wealthy families. The people lack true representation and citizenship. These factors undermine the substantive realization of democracy despite existing elections and basic freedoms.
