OLIGARCHIC POLITICS This book is very valuable and its publication is just timely…Well-packaged, with a viewpoint that is just and is suited to the current situation. – From Commentary on the book, by Prof. Felipe Miranda, founding president of Pulse Asia

Those interested in social change as well as those (like the middle forces) who may feel threatened or challenged by the new politics…can only be assured that they need not be afraid of change – in this book, not by force of arms but through ideas and modes of enabling the impoverished masses, the "wretched of the earth," to be heard and represented, and thereby, to regain their humanity. – Dr. Elmer A. Ordoñez, Manila Times

A timely book…The questions it raises and the answers it strives to provide deal with issues the relevance of which will last beyond the coming electoral exercise. – Alexander Martin Remollino, Bulatlat.com

To those who have short memory, this book provides a brief and accessible history of oligarchic politics…through the lens of the development of our political party system. - Lou Janssen Dangzalan, Newsbreak
