What is patron-client relationship/ties? 

 

Question 1 options:

 

a. All these statements are incorrect statements because it is the patron that provides benefits for the clients in exchange for their support, loyalty and service. Although this is the case, patron-client relationship in SEA is now an extinct system because SEA is no longer an agricultural community. 

 

b. This is a kind of system that allows the client to take whatever it needs from the patron because the patron owes the client loyalty and affinity. 

 

c. Patron-client ties was prevalent in SEA in the pre-colonial times. It is true that it is the patron (a landlord) who provides benefits for the client (peasant) in exchange for support, loyalty and service. This informal institution has evolved in order to suit the modern times which is no longer agricultural. 

 

d. It is best explained as a give and take relationship because the client who provides for the needs of the patron will ask the patron for help in times of need. The patron in turn gives his full loyalty to the client.
