Sustainable
Development
Third, the regime change in 1998 altered government priorities somewhat. Economic
interests unsupportive of sustainable development seem to have figured more
significantly. As a consequence, as PCSD went into an apparent hiatus under the
Arroyo administration, PA 21 lost its national prominence, leaving only blocs within
civil society and particular segments of the bureaucracy—i.e. government agencies
assigned to work on social and environmental issues—to pursue SD independently
within their limited spheres of influence.
