The Philippine Political Science Association (PPSA)
in cooperation with
The Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC)
presents
PINOY PULITIKA: Halalan, Halinhinan at iba pang Hiwaga
A Roundtable Discussion on Philippine Elections and Electoral Politics
9:00am to 12:00nn
3 May 2013, Friday
Mercedes B. Concepcion Room
Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC) Building, Diliman Quezon City
Mid-term elections in the Philippines will be held on 13 May 2013. For many observers, this promises to be more than the triennial exercise of political competition and elite circulation as it is also an affirmation of how well (or how badly) the promise of the “Daang Matuwid” of the Aquino administration is doing. Public opinion polls indicate the continuing personal popularity of President Aquino and the broad acceptance of the policies of his administration. Will this translate into a victory for Team PNoy in Congress? Or, will the opposition pull a surprise? Will political families continue to dominate? Or, will new players challenge the existing order? Beyond these questions, however, are a number of niggling issues that reflect the long-term prospects of Philippine politics: What is the impact of the latest SC party-list ruling in these and future elections? How will this change the electoral terrain of the country? How significant are the problems, concerns, and issues associated with automated elections (particularly the PCOS machines)? What can be said about the role of the COMELEC in managing the country's electoral system? These and other election-related issues will be discussed in this forum of noted political and social scientists.
Invited speakers are:
Dr. Edna Co (UP NCPAG)
Prof. Ronald Holmes (DLSU and Pulse Asia)
Prof. Alexander R. Magno (UP PolSc)
Dr. Amado Mendoza, Jr. (UP PolSc)
Dr. Danilo Reyes (UP NCPAG)
Sec. Joel Rocamora (IPD, NAPC)
Dr. Julio Teehankee (DLSU and Liberal Party)

THE 2012 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS REDUX
A lecture by
BENJAMIN N MUEGO Visiting Professor of Political Science Ateneo de Manila University-Loyola Schools
7 December 2012, Friday 230 to 4 PM, Palma Hall, Room 400 University of the Philippines, Diliman At about 12:30PM Philippine time on Wednesday 7 November 2012, the major American broadcast networks and cable outlets like CNN, Fox and MSNBC proclaimed Barack Hussein Obama the forty-fourth president of the United States as the winner of the 2012 presidential elections. Although the electors of the Electoral College chosen by voters across the UnitedStates on 6 November 2012 are not scheduled to cast their votes until Monday 17 December 2012, and a winner proclaimed by the Vice-President of the United States until 14 January 2013, Barack Hussein Obama will be inaugurated at high noon on 20 January 2013 and become only the third incumbent Democratic president to win reelection since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected to his first of three terms in 1936 (the other contemporary Democratic president to win reelection was William Jefferson Clinton in 1996). The 2012 US presidential election was historic and unprecedented for three reasons: (1) it was the first election where the principal contenders are members of two racial/ethnic and religious minority groups, respectively; (2) it was the first presidential election in the aftermath of the highly controversial Citizens United v Federal Election Commission 558 U.S. 310 (2010) of the United States Supreme Court which held that the federal government is prohibited from restricting the amount of money individuals, organizations and corporations could contribute to political campaigns and/or candidates; and (3) where the two major candidates offered American voters two distinct and diametrically opposed social agendas and visions for the future of the country. In spite of being badly outspent by the Republican nominee Willard M Romney and his billionaire financial backers, Barack Hussein Obama won a decisive victory in both the Electoral College vote (332 to 206 or 126 more electoral votes than he needed to win) and in the popular vote (62,611,250 or 50.6% to 59,134,475 or 47.81%).
