Abstract
The redemocratization of the Philippine polity contains some unique elements. Many participants, in fact, even including Mrs Aquino, have regarded it as a miracle, the consequence of divine intervention (Elwood, 1986). Fortunately for the social scientist, however, the unique and miraculous characteristics are embedded in patterns that are found to be quite similar to Latin American, other Asian, and even Southern European examples.
