The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. For the Filipino nation,
that first step was the Revolution of '1896 and the founding of Asia's first free
Republic. Even today's Filipinos are born with this memory. We come into the
world with the ideals and the spirit of a people who had Lostthen regained
their faith; a people who have struggled, suffered defeat and survived it. And
now it is time to remember the incredible sacrifice and courage that went into
molding the congeries of Philippine tribes into one nation.

Philippine Democracy Assessment: Free and Fair Elections and the Democratic
Role of Political Parties critically examines two indicators of Philippine
democracy, namely, elections and political parties. It looks closely at the
democratic principles and values of participation, authorization, representation,
accountability, transparency, responsiveness, and solidarity as these coalesce
into the Philippine electoral institutions. The assessment powerfully scrutinizes
these universal principles of democracy as they are embedded in a complex web
of politics and culture and which make reforms challenging indeed.

This book is about genealogy, local history, the study of various ethno-linguistic
groups inhabiting the countrys town-formation and prostitution. Serious study
made by the author on archival documents reveal many substantial new
information that can transform existing views or texts about our roots, our
history as a people and nation. The new historical interpretations in this book
invite the reader, not only history buffs, to dig deeper into available documents;
to research further on the aspects not covered by existing history books before
time erases the fragile evidences of our unique and glorious past.

Cultural identity continues to be important within and among nations. However,

many Filipinos question the authenticity of their identity. They are uneasy about the heavy
Spanish influence that in high with colonialism. They wonder if their culture is but a mixture of
conflicting traditions. Moreover, they fear that the Hispanic presence seems an oddity in a
Southeast Asia that defines itself as non-Western

1994

Civil society in the Asia-Pacific Region is about the mosaic of the voluntary
associations of citizens, the sites, forms and processes of their engagement with government
and business, and the intended and unintended outcomes of such engagement. Citizens fight
back openly, as in mass protests, of quietly, as in boycotts and civil disobedience. They have
even brought authoritarian governments to their knees. In the unfolding Asian drama, citizens
movements challenge dominant structures and processes and aspire to build a better future for
the Asia-Pacific region.
