Annotation: Dr. Julia Levtonova examines the parliamentary elections in 2010 in the Philippines. Benigno (Noynoy) Aquino- the third became the 15th President of the country. He is the son of the former national leaders - Benigno Aquino and Corazon (Cojuanco) Aquino, who for the Philippinas symbolize the fall of dictatorship and restoration of a democratic form of government. Therefore the victory of B. Aquino-the third was expected and predictable. There is a general feeling that the new President will implement deep change of the society. The researcher doubts that these expectations could be realized in full. The results of the elections failed to ensure the renewal of the political elite. It only rearranged the groups in the elite engaged in interpersonal and factional in-fighting, including the President's supporters. Lack of clear strategy of reforming and modernization of the economic and political system in the Presidential Program will hinder the progress, impede the appropriate response to the challenges of today.
