Is this for real? I would like to understand this better perspective better (it’s fascinating). It surprises me because my impression of a fascist state is a government that is organized and strict to carry out its control policies, and my impression is that the government in the Philippines lacks this organization and discipline. Indeed, only now, under a president elected largely because he was/is most likely to “steal less”, are policies like enforcing tax collections (this is fun episode to listen to about the fear BIR Commissioner inspires today: npr.org/blogs/money/2014/04/ … d-the-nosy hers is the first of 3 profiles in the episode; I never thought of that as fascistic until maybe now)
I was also surprised that PNoy has started talking term extension:

rappler.com/nation/66208-aqu … -extension
Maybe from the perspective of it being a fascist country, this makes more sense. Could it be an unwitting fascist country?
