| Summary / Abstract (Note) | There have been countless assaults to the democracy and democratic institutions that the Philippines has been enjoying over the past 111 years.What has saved the country is the innate attributes of its people.peace loving, resilient, forbearing, and religious. The dark practices of electoral politics and the dirty tentacles of politicians are the latest threats to the country's democracy. Will democracy continue to hold given the erosive and continuous assault on its electoral system, as the country prepares for a national election in May 2010? |
