MANILA, Philippines – Filipino political scientist and reforms advocate Dr. Temario “Temy” Rivera died on Wednesday, September 18, after a bout with pancreatic cancer.
CenPEG is a public policy outfit that advocates people empowerment in governance. It conducts research and policy studies as well as education and training on political and electoral reforms. In public fora, Rivera spoke of the need for political and economic reforms that would advance democracy and development in the Philippines.
On charter change, he said last January that “there are already many laws which opened and liberalized the economy,” and “disagreed that the Philippine Constitution and restrictive laws are the ones that prohibit investment.”
