IF FILIPINOS were Frenchmen, they would probably number their political regimes and would have marked the overthrow of the Second of the Philippines' sometime between the 2ist and the 23rd of September I972, when President Marcos executed his coup and began building the that he and his technocratic advisors had long been planning.2 But like Frenchmen (during the Vichy regime, for example), many would have resisted giving the name Third Republic to the New Society. They-and outsiders trying to understand what has happened-sense that an era has passed, yet persist in viewing the existing regime as an aberration that will go away without a profound impact on Philippine public institutions.3 This view that the New Society is merely a temporary transition typically rests on the belief that Marcos alone is responsible for it and that martial law and the changes imposed since I972 can best be understood by seeing Marcos as a power-mad individual determined not to surrender the presidential office,4 or as head of interlocked clans driven by greed to become the new oligarchs of the Philippines.5 It
