摘要

Civilian supremacy, defined as military subordination to elected civilian rulers in matters of security and defense decision-making, is an integral component of democracy. For the Philippines, achieving civilian supremacy after the 1986 democratic transition has been challenging because of persistent threat posed by communist insurgents. In the past decade, the civilian governments have entered into intermittent peace talks with the Communist party and its armed wing, the New People's Army, which although still not yielding any conclusive agreements, nevertheless opened avenues for a non-military solution to the problem. The repeal of the anti-Sedition Law (thus making the Communist Party legal) and the emergence of the legal Left in electoral politics in effect redefined who are the 'enemies' of the state. The recently concluded peace agreement with one faction of the communist group (the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade) and the moderately successful amnesty program further narrowed down the insurgents. Civilian initiatives such as legal culpability for human rights violations committed by soldiers in the field, human rights training for the army and the paramilitary, and legislative fiscal control on paramilitary recruitment combine to limit the ways in which the military conducts counterinsurgency operations. But alongside the civilian governments also accommodated military interests in this area by allowing the continued use of paramilitary troops for counterinsurgency operations (albeit with restrictions on recruitment and training) and by not suspending military offensives during peace talks.
