Despite the limits of elections as a mechanism to secure accountability and ensure substantive
representation, the 2016 elections drew the highest turnout across elections held since the political
transition in 1986, a clear indication of electoralism. The high turnout may be a result of a relatively
tightly contested race, with each of the main contenders appealing to constituencies that they
symbolically represent. Nonetheless, the 2016 Presidential elections remained personality-
oriented, media driven and political clan dominated. The eventual winner, Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
Your task as a Political Science student is to identify or recount factors as well strategies that made
Mr. Duterte the president of our country now.
