Abstract	本研究ノートはフィリピン・カトリック司教協議会（CBCP）による選挙政治に関する，既存研究では取り上げられていない2010 年選挙関連以降の司牧声明の議論の展開を分析している。その際，「1986年の民主化政変の際にCBCPが示した『選挙政治への積極的な関与は信徒主導で行う』という方針が，民主化が軌道に乗ることで2010年選挙の際にはCBCPの司牧声明において選挙政治における情勢や候補者に関する『識別サークル』の導入と信徒主導の『原則を重んじた党派的な政治』への参加という2点の明確化に結実した」とするRivera(2011) の仮説を検証している。その結果，2010年代にこの二概念は継承されたが政教関係が不安定となり，その危機感が聖職者のより積極的な政治参加につながったのではないか，と示唆している。
Abstract	This research note analyzes the pastoral statements of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) for the past 10 years. It also checks the validity of Rivera (2011) that statements in 2010 are fruits of the vision of CBCP’s statement in 1986 democratization about lay initiative in partisan politics, as a result of successful normalization of the democracy in the Philippines, by reframing the election discourse with two concepts as the key: “circles of discernment” of political situation and candidates, and “principled partisan politics” led by the lay faithful. It concludes that in spite of the continued acceptance of these concepts in 10 years, clergies may have been tempted to be involved deeper in politics, because the church-state relations are far from normalized.
