  • President Duterte's First Year in Office
    ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 28 June 2017 Ignoring the Curve: President Duterte’s First Year in Office Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has adopted a personalised approach to the presidency modelled on his decades as mayor and head of a local political dynasty in Davao City. His political history, undiminished popularity and large Congressional majorities weigh heavily against any change being made in approach. In the first year of his presidential term this approach has contributed to legislative inertia and mixed and confused messages on key policies. Statements by the president and leaders in Congress questioning the authority of the Supreme Court in relation to martial law, and supporting constitutional revision put into question the future of the current Philippine political system. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at the Regional Strategic and Political Studies Programme at ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION After his clear and surprise victory in the 9 May 2016 election, many observers, both critical and sympathetic, argued that Rodrigo Duterte would face a steep learning curve when he took his seat in Malacañang (the presidential palace) on 30 June 2016.1 Being president of the Philippines is very different than being mayor of Davao City in southern Mindanao. Learning curve proponents argue that his success in mounting this curve from mayor and local political boss to president would be decisive for the success of his administration and its political legacy. A year into his single six-year term as president, it appears not only that President Duterte has not mounted this steep learning curve, he has rejected the purported need and benefits of doing so.2 While there may be powerful political reasons for this rejection, the impact on the Duterte administration and its likely legacy appears quite decisive.

  • Damaged Batanes Heritage Homes Face Demolition
    Headline Damaged Batanes heritage homes face demolition MediaTitle Philippine Star(www.philstar.com) Date 30 Jul 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 1 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily Damaged Batanes heritage homes face demolition MANILA, Philippines — Initial damage to infrastructure caused by the earthquakes that hit Itbayat island in the province of Batanes on Saturday has been placed at P72 million, while hundreds of houses may be demolished because these are no longer habitable. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and other government agencies have yet to assess the damage to other public and private properties. Another aftershock, measuring magnitude 3.4, shook Itbayat yesterday. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), the tremor happened at 2:03 p.m., with its epicenter traced 18 kilometers southwest of Itbayat. During a briefing on the situation in areas hit by the earthquake, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said failure to comply with the building code was one of the gaps observed while officials were responding to the effects of the disaster. “I would like to commend the LGUs (local government units), particularly the provincial government and their governor Marilou Cayco and (Itbayat) Mayor Raul de Sagon, for immediately acting and getting response. They were able to convene the local DRRMC and designated an emergency operation center,” Año said. “But we have seen some gaps. Like for example, most of the houses were actually (built during the) Spanish era... and they did not follow the building code. So aside from the 15 houses, probably some of those houses will not be livable anymore.

  • Volume I, Number 14. 15 November 2019. All-Out War Vs. Rights Defenders & Humanitarian Workers
    UPDATES PHILIPPINES Released by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines Amsterdamsestraatweg 50, 3513AG Utrecht, The Netherlands T: : +31 30 2310431 | E: [email protected] | W: updates.ndfp.org vol i no 14 15 November 2019 EDITORIAL All-out war vs. rights defenders & humanitarian workers President Rodrigo Duterte and his murderous co-conspirators have been unrelenting in their attacks against human rights defenders, political activists, opposition leaders and humanitarian aid workers. Just in the past two weeks, several homes and private offices were attacked by Duterte security forces. Dozens of individuals, including minors, were arrested and detained on spurious charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives. A human rights defender from southern Philippines has been missing since 2 November. A labor leader was killed south of the capital Manila on 4 November. A radio broadcaster was killed in Negros island on 7 November. On 5 November, the Armed Forces of the Philippines revealed a new list of ’18 communist front organizations’ – a warning that they will be the next targets of intensified repression. Members and officials of activist organizations are constantly subjected to surveillance and death threats. The Duterte government calls its strategy the ‘whole-of-nation approach’ in order to end what it calls ‘the local communist armed conflict’. Instead of resolving the roots of the armed conflict however, it has instead targeted individuals and their groups ‘guilty’ of helping the poor and powerless. Spearheaded by murderous conspirators such as generals Hermogenes Esperon, Delfin Lorenzana, Eduardo Año and Carlito Galvez Jr., this strategy is doomed to fail.

  • A Middle Power Between Appeasement and Limited Hard Balancing: the Philippines’ Strategic Dilemma in a Changing Indo-Pacific Region
    A Middle Power Between Appeasement and Limited Hard Balancing: The Philippines’ Strategic Dilemma in a Changing Indo-Pacific Region Professor Renato Cruz De Castro College of Liberal Arts, De La Salle University East Asia Security Centre 东亚安全中心 Peer-reviewed Conference Paper 2019 U.S. Naval War College and East Asia Security Centre Conference Between Scylla and Charybdis: Is there a Middle Path for Middle Powers in the Indo-Pacific Region? https://easc.scholasticahq.com/ Published Version October 2020 For information about this paper or the East Asia Security Centre’s Peer-reviewed publishing site please contact the Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Ping Abstract: During his six-year term, former President Benigno Aquino III challenged China’s expansive claim in the South China Sea. Current President Rodrigo Duterte has unraveled his predecessor’s balancing policy on China. His administration aims to appease China by distancing the Philippines from the United States of America and gravitating toward an emergent power determined to reconfigure Asia’s maritime territory. Nonetheless, recent developments such as the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s hostile moves against the Armed Forces of the Philippines units on Philippine-occupied islands in the South China Sea and the delays in the promised Chinese investments in the country have prompted the Duterte Administration to review the appeasement approach and to adopt a limited hard balancing policy. This move is reflected by the: 1) continuous Armed Forces of the Philippines modernization program; 2) stabilizing of security relations with the United States of America; and 3) fostering of security arrangements with Japan and Australia.

Ayon kay Cimatu, ito ay dahil sa nagiging paulit-ulit lamang ang paglabag ng mga sindikato. “RA 9147 should be amended to include a mandatory minimum jail term of six years for those found guilty of the criminal acts defined under the law,” ani Cimatu. “This is to make sure that convicted offenders will be able to serve their sentence and will not be eligible for probation,” pahayag ni Roy. Sinabi ito ni Cimatu matapos ang isang task force sa ilalim ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) ay nakaaresto ng dalawang suspek sa ilegal na pagbebenta ng wildlife Tondo, Manila. Sa pamamagitan ng entrapment operation, nasagip ng Philippine Operations Group on Ivory and Illegal Wildlife Trade (Task Force POGI), ang 42 threatened at endangered species na mga pagong na tinatayang nagkakahalaga ng Php550,000 mula kay Eumir Rommel Raganit at Bruce Kenneth Tan na ngayon ay nahaharap sa kasong paglabag sa RA 9147.
