在本文中，我们认为杜特尔特总统任期的一个后果是菲律宾政党制度的进一步削弱，或者出现“政党无政府状态”。传统上，菲律宾总统利用其任命权对-à-vis立法者进行交换，以实现总统的目标，这种行政-立法交易主要通过总统所在政党进行协调。然而，有证据表明，杜特尔特绕过国会，利用他的声望来实现他的政策，而不必利用他的政治权力来拉拢政客。因此，总统所在的政党作为国会事务和选举中政党提名的协调机构的价值下降了。因此，我们观察到的是政党的无政府状态，党派间的竞争比杜特尔特担任总统之前更加不稳定和分散。我们主要以2019年中期选举为重点，提供了确凿的证据来支持我们的说法。
In this article, we argue that a consequence of Duterte’s presidency is the further weakening of the party system in the Philippines, or the emergence of “anarchy of parties.” Traditionally, Philippine presidents used their power of patronage in a quid-pro-quo manner vis-à-vis the legislators to achieve presidents’ goals, and this executive-legislative transaction was coordinated mainly through the president’s party. However, evidence suggests that Duterte bypassed Congress to achieve his policies by riding on his popularity and did not have to use his power of pork to co-opt politicians. As a result, the president’s party decreased its value as a coordination device for congressional affairs and party nominations at elections. Consequently, what we observe is an anarchy of parties where inter-party competition has become even more fluid and fragmented than before the Duterte presidency. We provide corroborative evidence to support our claim by mainly focusing on the 2019 midterm elections.
