  • Overcoming Roadblocks to the New Silk Road - How China Can Win Over the Filipino People by Following Japan’S Investment Strategies in Vietnam
    A Publication from Creative Connect International Publisher Group 11 OVERCOMING ROADBLOCKS TO THE NEW SILK ROAD - HOW CHINA CAN WIN OVER THE FILIPINO PEOPLE BY FOLLOWING JAPAN’S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES IN VIETNAM Written by Brigitte Ann Castro 3rd Year J.D. Student, California Western School of Law Introduction While news outlets have been discussing the cooling of trade relations between the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the United States (“U.S.”), there is a warmer reception for China on the other side of the world: the Republic of the Philippines (“Philippines”). The answer as to why the Philippines is welcoming, even after winning in an arbitration against China regarding control of the South China Sea,1 lies in one word: “DuterteNomics.”2 The Philippines government introduced this term to describe President Rodrigo Duterte’s (“Duterte”) economic programs and policies for bringing Philippines to the forefront of economic growth in Southeast Asia.3 Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar discussed a main program of DuterteNomics called the Build Build Build Infrastructure Plan (“BBB”), which is meant “to [solve the puzzle] on how to grow the economy, reduce poverty and [ease] congestion in Metro Manila.”4 It appears that the final puzzle piece lies with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, also called the One Belt One Road Initiative (“BRI”).5 China’s ambitious BRI has received mixed 1 The South China Sea Arbitration (Phil. v.

  • Philippine Federalism's Fortunate Falter
    ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |13 September 2018 Philippine Federalism’s Fortunate Falter Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • President Rodrigo Duterte came to office in June 2016 committed to transforming the Philippines into a federal state during his term. • Despite the submission in early July of the draft federal constitution by the president’s hand-picked Consultative Committee to Review the 1987 Constitution, the push for federalism is faltering. • It is unlikely that a federal political system will be introduced before the end of Duterte’s single-term presidency. • This likely failure is good for the Philippines. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2018 No. 55 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 2 March 2016 in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, Rodrigo Duterte claimed that federalism was the centrepiece of his presidential election campaign.1 His surprise victory two months later as the standard-bearer for PDP-Laban, a party established in the early 1980s to promote a federal Philippines, meant that for the first time a presidential administration commenced with the central goal of transforming the Philippines from a unitary to a federal state. The administration wants to have a new federal constitution approved by plebiscite and the new federal structure of government established in time for the next scheduled presidential election in May 2022. This push for federalism progressed well in the first few months of the Duterte administration. PDP-Laban quickly transformed itself from a small minority party from Mindanao into the largest party, and the head of a massive majority in the House of Representatives and a majority in the Senate.

    Institutionalizing transparent governance Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III Freedom of Information Awards Presidential Communications Operations Office Manila Peninsula, Makati December 12, 2019 Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, Congressman Alfred Vargas, Secretary Karlo Nograles, Secretary Martin Andanar, Assistant Secretary Kristian Ablan, Director Redempto Parafina, fellow public servants, good afternoon. In behalf of all the employees and officers of the Department of Labor and Employment, I thank the Presidential Communications Operations Office for shortlisting and recognizing DOLE’s Freedom of Information Program. Since our assumption at the Labor Department, we immediately initiated programs at the DOLE in answer to our President’s directive to all public servants to bring government to the people, improve public services, and ensure inclusive growth for all. Our reforms focused on institutional reforms that strengthened DOLE’s mandate to improve gainful employment, sustain workers’ rights and welfare, ensure industrial peace, and secure the rights of our migrant workers and OFWs. But underpinning these reforms were our thrust to improve service efficiency, promote optimum transparency, and ensure public accountability. Public trust is important for us for the President doesn’t tolerate inefficiency and, we all know, that he does not countenance corruption from anyone in government. Again, our gratitude to the PCOO for recognizing our efforts at institutionalizing transparent governance. These initiatives include: substantially reducing our Average Processing Time, having a constantly updated FOI Manual, ensuring a refined “No-Wrong-Door Policy,” instituting dynamic visibility and feedback mechanisms, and a sound information platform. For us, the FOI Award is a validation of our unwavering commitment and support to the President’s instructions against corruption and inefficiency.

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs 3/2016: 111–137 The Spectacle of Violence in Duterte’s “War on Drugs” Danilo Andres Reyes Abstract: This article argues that, in Duterte’s “war on drugs”, state power is exercised through the body in a spectacle of humiliation and violence. The analysis draws from the work of Foucault (1979) on the political value of a spectacle of the body to explain the distinctive character of Duterte’s violent war on drugs; of Feldman (1991) on the use of the body as an object in which violence is embodied to send political messages; of Agamben (1995) on eliminating life supposedly devoid of value; and on Mumford et al.
