Changelessness or the recurrence of old patterns appears to be a common theme in studies of Philippine politics since the fall of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986. Many political scientists have characterized the country’s post-Marcos politics as merely being a return to the “elite” or “oligarchic”demorcacy of the pre-authoritarian era, all highlighting the continuing hold on economic and political power by an oligarchic elite.
