The Philippine legislature and social relationships : toward the formalization of the polity. 6 6 - - - - - - - - . - . - 0 . - . - 0 .

ABSTRACT : This article considers the nature of problems with govrnment in the Philippines, the direction from which possible solutions may emerge, and the possibility of the polity's transformation from condition of comparative informality to one of greater formality. It is suggested that many of the problems with the legislature may derive as much from institutional and procedural arrangements in themselves as from broader structural, or deeper cultural, features and that these institutional and procedural arrangements may also be working in more positive ways to constrain and shape the behavior of legislators and the people they help to govern.
