Abstract
Philippine land reform and tourism development have been cabinet-level departments during the administrations of presidents Marcos, Aquino, and Ramos. These two sectors illustrate not only specific priorities, agendas, and leadership styles but also the larger political environment shaping each presidency. Though Ramos’s campaign said little about these sectors, his administration’s pragmatic and strategic approach to policy challenges may prove more successful than previous administrations, which offered them greater rhetorical support.
