    ANARCHY OF FAMILIES IN THE By: Alfred Mc Coy PHILIPPINES

    Development Studies Society September 8, 2011 Educational Discussion

    ANARCHY
    (from Greek: anarch , "without ruler") - Most often, the term "anarchy" describes the simple absence of publicly recognized government or enforced political authority.

    WHY DISCUSS THE ANARCHY OF FAMILIES IN THE PHILIPPINES?

    In relation to our general ED festival title, Kamusta ka, Pinas?, the Development Studies Society chose the Anarchy of Families in the Philippines as the topic because the leadership of these families reflects the kind of state that exists in the Philippines.

    CASE 1: LOPEZ FAMILY


    family building connection with political elites to monopolize products Origin of wealth: From Ilo-ilo, they used sugar demand to earn money (sugar plantation) Didnt form a close alliance with local politicians. They chose to have connection with the national government.
    Rent-seeking

    CASE 2: DURANO FAMILY An example of Warlord Politics from Northern Cebu Island Known for their business: PALTIK Source of wealth: mining, coal, illegal arms trade, sugar, cement Warlords secure votes for National Elections

    CASE 3: DIMAPORO FAMILY


    Guns,

    Goons, and Gold Rose from Lanao Mohamad Ali Dimaporo is the luckiest man in Mindanao Close to former President Marcos (Best friends) Winning through intimidation SHIFTED PARTIES from Marcos to Aquino

    CASE 4: OSMENA FAMILY


    From

    local dominance in Cebu to supralocal power (national) Benefited from inter marriages Brought ideological domination by monopolizing the public space Not a warlord

    PATTERNS/TRENDS IN THE CASE STUDIES:

    Kamusta na nga ba ang Pinas sa kamay ng mga namumuno na ito?

    Elites

    resolve contradictions through elections Interdependent ang local at national government Mass based partylist no funds, one with the struggle of the People The use of money or access to resources are the deciding factors in winning Warlords rely heavily on violence

    WHAT CAN WE DO?


    As Iskolars ng bayan, we need to be critical thinkers. We must not be easily fooled of how these leaders portray themselves in public. We must look beyond what is presented by the media. We must not allow them to serve their interest while saying that they are working for the Filipino people.
