Inhalt: |
The United States' influence in the Philippines has produced a remarkable and highly successful experiment in democracy through education-not through military intervention. With the education provided by American teachers known as the Thomasites who came to the Philippines in 1901, tens and thousands of Filipinos have become professionals, working throughout the world further spreading American democracy. The author is one of them.
But according to author Patricio R. Mamot, Filipino leaders demonstrate less than full adherence to true democratic governance. Through a series of weekly columns and editorials that appeared in the Filipino Times, Mamot tackles the challenge of bringing the government closer to the people of the Philippines.
Mamot urges all Filipinos to become fully involved with the democratic process by making their voices heard. This book, A Call For True Democracy, is the call to action that all Filipinos need. Only through the power of the people can the Philippines enjoy a successful democracy! |
