Ang Tumpak na Pagkilala sa mga Pampolitikang Grupo sa Filipinas

Sa naunang blog post hinggil sa Dikotomiya ng Kaliwa-Kanan, ipinakita na ang bulagsak at iresponsableng paggamit ng politikal na kategorisasyon at ang maling pag-unawa sa konsepto ng pampolitikang ispektrum ay nagpapabansot sa pag-unlad ng kamalayang pampulitika ng mamamayang Filipino.

Masakit mang aminin, mapurol pa rin ang pag-unawa ng mamamayan sa mga umiiral na grupong pampolitika sa bansa. Hindi natuturol ng taongbayan ang mga prinsipyo, paninindigan, plataporma, at programa ng iba't-ibang nagtutunggaling organisasyon, grupo, at partido sa larangan ng politika.

Ang ganitong masaklap na katotohanan ay bunga ng maling interpretasyon ng mass media sa konsepto ng pampolitikang ispektrum at katamaran ng mga kritiko na magsaliksik at ihayag ang tunay na tunguhin ng mga pampolitikang grupo sa Filipinas. Dagdag pa dito, ang pambabansot sa kamalayang pampolitika ng mamamayan ay bunga rin ng sinadya at malisyosong pambabaluktot ng mga di-umano'y eksperto sa politika at ng masidhing paglulubid ng mapanirang propaganda ng mga pormal na institusyon ng Estado.

Kaya mahigpit ang pangangailangan na matukoy ang tumpak na pagkilala sa iba't-ibang pampolitikang grupo sa Filipinas. Mahalaga ito upang malinang at mapa-unlad ang pang-unawang pampolitika ng mamamayan. Kung matalas magsuri sa politika ang taongbayan, magiging epektibong behikulo sila ng tunay na pagbabagong panlipunan.

Remembering Jesusa Teodoro Martin (My beloved Lola Nena...)

Today is the 106th birthday of my favorite Lola, Lola Nena.  I am posting here a reprint from our Martin Clan Book about Lola Nena. Lola Nena died when I was in 4th grade, that was way back in 1984.  But I always have vivid memories of her (Lola Nena always cooked sweet delights for us)  Here's the reprint I'm talking about.  I think this was written by my cousin Mayo Uno and his Tatay, my favorite Tito Boy. (Excerpts from the Martin-Teodoro Aklat Angkan...): NENA Jesusa was born on January 19, 1903 in Tondo, Manila . Like Dominador, she was the youngest of two children by Santiago Naguit Teodoro ("Iliong") of Bulacan and Elena dela Cruz ("Enang") of Tondo. The eldest was Sergio ("Ikong"). Jesusa was only six when her mother passed away so her aunt Petra ("Pitang"), sister of her father, brought up the two children up. Santiago 's second wife, Leonora Pantanilla ("Nena"), produced six more children:...

Untitled I

It's not about knowing you when we were there, wandering, in gardens of youthful freedom. What matters is that I've known you, as you are. It's not about seeing you transformed in full splendor palpably radiant and  blinding mortal  eyes. What matters is that I’ve seen you, as you are. It’s not about hearing you, angelic rhythm of imagined voices  wallowing in bitter-sweet laughter. What matters is that I’ve heard you, as you are. It is not about touching you in the deepest  recesses of your uncharted nakedness, utterly lost  in the celebration  of your beauty and passion. What matters most is that I’ve touched you, as you are. It is not about feeling your stormy thoughts and calm contemplations though these are far constellations reached only by stellar signals. What matters most is that I’ve felt you, as you are. ‘Tis not about loving you, sweet rose-p...

Anatomy of Vote Buying in the Philippines

Vote buying has always been a regular feature of Philippine elections. It has been successfully used by moneyed politicians, often belonging to political dynasties, local gentry classes, and traditional clans, to entice the electorate to vote or not to vote for specific candidates. In the recently concluded mid-term Philippine elections, quite a number of independent poll watchdogs observed that vote buying has become rampant compared to previous electoral exercises. Some analysts pointed out that the automation of Philippine elections forced many candidates, especially at the local levels, to buy votes to ensure victory. That is because with automation, the avenues for electoral cheating became limited and more expensive. Thus, moneyed politicians were compelled to re-focus their so-called “black operations” through vote buying.
