Frailocracy in the Philippines refers to a political and social system dominated by powerful, often wealthy families and political dynasties, typically characterized by nepotism and patronage. The term combines "frail," which is derived from "friar," indicating the historical influence of Spanish colonial friars, with "cracy," meaning rule or governance. This system has resulted in significant inequality and limited social mobility, as political power is concentrated within a small elite. Critics argue that frailocracy undermines democracy and perpetuates corruption and inefficiency in governance.
The Philippines is a country that was engaged in frailocracy. This happened during the Spanish regime and there was corruption. Frailocracy refers to law of the friars.
