- The Philippines used to have a robust, dynamic, and credible civil society that acted as a force for democratization. However, its power has decreased over time due to partisan choices, internal conflicts, and assaults by the Philippine state. This presentation discusses the evolution of significant groups within Philippine civil society and their relative decline given the populist-authoritarian government of Rodrigo Duterte. It argues that the erosion of Philippine democracy co-existed with the disempowerment of civil society due to direct assaults of the Duterte administration, massive disinformation campaigns, and the rise of authoritarian nostalgia and illiberal political actors. This presentation also analyzes the likely impact of the May 2022 national elections as a critical event of political change to the fate of civil society and trajectory of democratization in the Philippines.
