The Family That Rules Together Stays Forever: An Investigative Study on Congress' Failure to Pass Anti-Political Dynasty Bills

Bantilan, F. & Mendoza, S. (2011). The family that rules together stays forever: An investigative study on Congress’ failure to pass anti-political dynasty bills, Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication.

This study investigated the Philippine Congress’ failure to pass the constitutionally mandated anti-political dynasty bills since 1987. Using a framework based on the Critical Legal Studies Movement, Strategic Politician Model and Public Choice Theory, the study analyzed the legislative process, family backgrounds and motivations of lawmakers who influence the enactment of such bills. The researchers employed qualitative methods such as textual analysis, archival research, focus and key informant interviews, and review of secondary data.
The investigation revealed that since the Ninth Congress, majority of the membership of the Senate and House of Representatives come from political dynasties. The study concluded that anti-political dynasty bills will never get passed as long as these clans dominate Congress to protect their own interests.
As political analysts and even the bills’ authors expressed their hopelessness on the anti-dynasty legislation, they suggested other courses of action to solve the dynasty problem. These include constitutional amendment, people’s initiative, political party reform and electorate’s education.
The findings of this study were journalistically written in a two-part discussion and accompanied by a CD containing supplementary matrices.

Crisologo, K.M. & Picazo, D.A.M. (2011). Metro Manila-based Koreans’ Cultural Identity Retention, Integration, and Assimilation. Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication.

This study looks into Metro Manila-based Koreans retention, integration, and assimilation of their cultural identity, while also exploring their expectations and disappointments upon coming to the Philippines, fundamental patterns of cultural difference, their cultural values, and their cross-cultural experience. Geert Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions suggests that Filipinos and Koreans differ in the Masculinity value, Uncertainty Avoidance Index, and Long-Term Orientation. Guided by Michael Winkelman’s Culture Shock Theory and Miriam Zamora’s Levels of Adaptation, the study conducted surveys and focus interviews to describe the phenomenon of Korean adaptation in the Philippines. It was found that Metro Manila-based Koreans come to the Philippines to study English at a more affordable cost. Ironically, the main problem encountered is the language barrier, for it is important to speak in English or Tagalog to communicate with locals. Although not very fluent yet, Metro Manila-based Koreans still use English when talking to Filipinos, while sometimes injecting simple Filipino words. In terms of non-verbal communication, these Koreans are familiar with Filipino gestures but do not adopt them. Moreover, they are conscious of paralanguage. They are likewise familiar with other fundamental differences in Filipino and Korean culture and choose not to follow Filipino attitudes. Examination of the cultural dimensions showed some integration of Filipino and Korean values.
