  • A Biography of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, by Earl G
    Book Review Beyond Will and Power: A Biography of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, by Earl G. Parreño. Lapu-lapu City: Optima Typographics, 2019. Pp. 227. ISBN 9786218161023. Cleve V. Arguelles For an enigmatic man like Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, to write an account of the man’s life is surely a demanding enterprise. Independent journalist Earl Parreño boldly took up the challenge and succeeded in constructing a comprehensive profile of the man. Through a laborious gathering of countless interviews and documents, the result is the book Beyond Will and Power, a short biography of Duterte focusing on his political and family life prior to his rise to Malacañang. While a cottage industry around Duterte has been booming among many writers since his presidential victory in 2016, many works produced have barely scratched the surface. This book is both a timely and necessary intervention: the details of his past lives, especially before his time as the infamous Davao City mayor, have yet to be made accessible. The emphasis on the rich political and family life trajectories of the Duterte clan, meaningfully situated in the sociohistorical development of Davao, Mindanao, and the nation, is the book’s most significant contributions. However, the book’s attempt to decouple Duterte from his destructive legacy to Philippine society is a weak point that cannot be easily overlooked. In this review, I will give a brief overview of the book, followed by a short discussion of what this biography can potentially offer for the study of Philippine politics and society, and ends with a critical reflection on the ethics of writing a political biography.

  • Facebook, Fickleness, and the New Populism in the Philippines Assessing Facebook’S Role in Rodrigo Duterte’S 2016 Presidential Campaign and Rise to Power
    Facebook, fickleness, and the new populism in the Philippines Assessing Facebook’s role in Rodrigo Duterte’s 2016 presidential campaign and rise to power By Steve Ellmers A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of International Communication Unitec Institute of Technology, 2018 Abstract Although the Philippines’ populist strongman Rodrigo Duterte is often called the Trump of the East his unexpected victory in the 2016 Philippine presidential election has created such a bloody legacy that Duterte’s impact may even outlast his namesake’s. Duterte’s rise to power occurred in the country with the world’s heaviest Facebook users and relied on this social media platform to a far greater extent than any candidate had during the 2010 Philippine presidential contest. This development determined that Facebook would be the main subject of this analysis. This research analyses what happened during the 2016 Philippine presidential election campaign by examining the role Facebook played in Duterte’s success from when his candidacy was formally approved on December 17, 2015, through to the presidential election on May 9, 2016. It subjects two key Facebook accounts, Duterte’s official page and a representative example of one of the hundreds created to support him, to content and discursive analysis. It places Team Duterte’s use of Facebook within the overall context of the campaign and shows how Duterte’s complex and contradictory identity as a candidate was constructed for two very different Facebook audiences. This research also considers how Duterte’s rise was linked to the assistance he received – either intentionally or otherwise – from other members of the Philippine political and media elite.

  • Decorated Duterte: Digital Objects and the Crisis of Martial Law History in the Philippines
    McKay, D 2020 Decorated Duterte: Digital Objects and the Crisis of Martial Law History in the Philippines. Modern Languages Open, 2020(1): 27 pp. 1–10. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.316 GLOBAL CRISIS IN MEMORY Decorated Duterte: Digital Objects and the Crisis of Martial Law History in the Philippines Deirdre McKay Keele University, GB [email protected] Much of the contemporary crisis in coming to terms with the past may have digital origins. We can see this crisis as engineered or assembled through a new series of historical actors: memes and posts on social media and, behind them, the work of trolls and paid influencers. These actors do not travel with first-person accounts of events so much as accumulate in the digital ephemera of daily lives and are then archived as the currency of digital capital- ism, saved in individual online albums, on smart phones and then republished elsewhere. Their circulation and accumulation can be strategically directed by political actors who seek to overturn established historical consensus. Tracing the trajectory of memes featuring the Philippines’ President Duterte, this paper explores how digital objects have contributed to attempts to rework the history of the Martial Law era. Much of the contemporary crisis in coming to terms with the past may have digital origins. We can understand this crisis as one assembled through a new series of historical actors. These actors are memes and posts on social media and, behind them, the trolls and paid influencers whose work it is to create and disseminate them.1 The actions of memes, posts and their makers are delimited by the dynamic regulations of social media platforms.
