About this document
Democracy in the Philippines vs. Ponape by Keiren Faith Baylon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document compares democracy in the Philippines and on the island of Ponape. It discusses how traditional values in each society have affected how democratic structures adopted from the US function. For the Philippines, traditional emphasis on kinship and patron relationships means political leaders are expected to enrich themselves and their friends rather than prioritize the common good. The document provides historical context on the development of politics and society in the Philippines.
