Do you consider the Philippines government as truly democratic? Why do you say so?

The Philippines’ First Republic was an aristocracy under the landed elite of Aguinaldo, Luna, etc. The elite killed Bonifacio who belonged to the common caste. It became an oligarchy under the Third Republic, and a tyranny under the Fourth Republic of Marcos. It went back to oligarchy under the Fifth Republic of Aquino because the aristocrats were of poor quality. In my opinion, the best aristocrat was probably Manuel Quezon who worked under Aguinaldo.
