Post-election Thesis


“In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.”
- Charles de Gaulle

It is probable that many Filipinos hope that there will be good changes that will happen now that we almost have a new incoming administration. My thesis is simple: such changes will not happen in six years. At best, what the incoming administration can do is restore the public’s trust to government and regain the confidence of the business sector.


If the incoming administration can demonstrate that it understands the problems of the country and offers the appropriate responses, then it is possible that this country will see improving conditions in 2016. I doubt that this will happen given the motherhood statements in the political platform of the Liberal Party.
