Background
By 1997, Pulacan had spent 5 years enduring its worst economic recession since the end of the Great Kayatman War. The steel market collapse that induced the recession was exacerbated by the compounded mistakes of multiple administrations. The bombshell exposure of chronic mismanagement by the Secretariat of Finance in early 1993 had resulted in then-General Secretary Motlasi T. Chabaya committing a fatal act of autodefenestration from the Republican Palace in Mabesekwa, the seat of the Supreme Colloquy. Thus, voters went to the polls in October of 1993 in an atmosphere of shock, institutional mistrust, and economic frustration.
