The purpose of this research was to investigate the political forces of the middle class in the Philippines. The main reason for this attempt was that for the first time in Philippine history the urban middle class playd an important role in shaping the political direction of the country by activity participating in the anti-Marcos struggle leading to the "people power revolution which restored democracy. Considering the fact that the middle class forces were composed of a large number of organizations many of which were quite small in membership size, this research focused on BANDILA,the largest and most influential umbrella organization or federation of various middle class organizations, and some member organizations of BANDILA such as the August Twenty-One Movement led by Agapito "Butz" Aquino, a younger brother of the late Benigno Aquino, Jr.The results of the general analyzes of the political forces of the middle class in terms of their organization and behavior as well as of their ideology and program were almost fully presented, together with their brief historical account, in the Pilipinas article. While detailed analyzes of individual organizations such as the August Twenty-One Movement will be presented in another article soon, theoretical generalization of the findings in the Philippine context through comparative study of the middle class in other countries will be the most important future task.

本研究的目的是调查菲律宾中产阶级的政治力量。这一尝试的主要原因是，在菲律宾历史上，城市中产阶级第一次在塑造国家的政治方向方面发挥了重要作用，他们参与了反马科斯的斗争，导致了恢复民主的“人民力量革命”。在《菲律宾人报》的文章中，对中产阶级政治力量的组织和行为，以及他们的意识形态和纲领进行了全面的总体分析，并对他们进行了简要的历史描述。虽然对八二一运动等个别组织的详细分析将在不久的另一篇文章中提出，但通过对其他国家中产阶级的比较研究，在菲律宾背景下对研究结果进行理论概括将是未来最重要的任务。
