  • The Duterte Bloodline
    The Duterte Bloodline Saturday, 05 December 2015 21:43 By Antonio V. Figueroa The Dutertes, one of the political clans in Davao Region, historically come from Cebu. Oral tradition points out that there were actually two Duterte clans in that province, one from the south and the other from the north. The Davao lineage, accordingly, traces its roots to northern Cebu, to couple Facundo Duterte and Zoila Gonzales whose marriage bore five children, namely: Ramon, Sr. who was married to Rosario Regis of Carcar; Mariano tied the knot with Salud Calvo; Soledad wedded Epifanio Rodis; Jorge married Estefania Dacayana; and former Davao governor Vicente, fondly called ‘Teti’ but known as ‘Nene’ in Danao City, became the husband of Soledad Roa, mother of Davao City mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte. A half-brother, the illegitimate son of Facundo, was Adolfo Enriquez, who took the surname of his mother as was the practice then. He lived in Cavite. Ramon, born on Dec. 23, 1901 in Danao City, was fondly called ‘Lolo Banawa’; he earned his Bachelor of Laws from the Philippine Law School in 1925. Three decades later, he was elected vice mayor of Cebu City, with Sergio Osmeña Jr., his running mate, as mayor. He took over as city chief executive (Sept. 13, 1957-Dec. 31, 1959) when Osmeña resigned to run for Congress. Aside from becoming a judge of the Court of First Instance, Ramon was also a Law professor at the University of the Visayas and the University of Southern Philippines. A Cebu City street was named after him by virtue of City Ordinance No.

  • Chapter Ii Illegal Drugs
    CHAPTER II ILLEGAL DRUGS: CASES INDONESIA AND PHILIPPINES II.1 INDONESIA’S ILLEGAL DRUGS II.1.1 Illegal Drugs in Indonesia Republic Indonesia or Indonesia are countries in Southeast Asia, located on the equator and located between the Asian and Australian continents and between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.1 Indonesia also has 257 million population which make Indonesia on rank 4th the biggest population in the world. Indonesia is bordered with Malaysia on the island of Borneo, with Papua New Guinea on the island of Papua and with Timor Leste on Timor Island. Other neighboring countries are Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the union territories of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India.2 Therefore with more than 17.000 islands, Indonesia has become the largest archipelago in the world. However, this also means that Indonesia becomes very susceptible with drugs since according to UNDOC, maritime trafficking have the largest average weight and quantities of drugs seized. Therefore, geographically 1 http://indonesia.go.id/?page_id=479&lang=id Access on 21 September 2017. At 19:21PM 2 http://indonesia.go.id/?page_id=479&lang=id Ibid. Indonesia is a perfect market for drugs, especially when 80% of drugs in Indonesia come from the sea which means maritim shipment has a bigger impact from the other trafficking.3 Chart II.1: Drugs transportation supply and market around the world.4 Sources: World Drugs Report 2015 Even though the chart showis that the sea trafficking have a small impact on seizures and medium level on quantities seized, but since Indonesia is archipelago country which makes it have so many offshore, it becomes the most favorite drug trafficking to make a deal with the drug dealers.

  • TWO YEARS of DUTERTE: Overture to a Rapid Political and Economic Decay
    Art by Ugat Lahi. Photo ©Mel Matthew, Manila Today Manila ©Mel Matthew, Photo Art Lahi. Ugat by TWO YEARS OF DUTERTE: Overture to a rapid political and economic decay he “Duterte magic” is gradually getting dimmer. Collapsing with the weight of his own failures, Duterte is not only fumbling through the cracks now evident in his government, but is becoming more and more delusional following the successive backlash he is now receiving. TThis spiraling down has led the Duterte government to gravitate towards more repressive policies to tighten its grip on power. A hellish orchestra, manned by a vindictive concertmaster, has directed a cacophonous opus to play an ominous, grim score. Indeed, Duterte has allowed disgorged criminals such as former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and the wretched Marcos family to sneak back into power. His allies who have been relegated to political irrelevance are now out and about, singing their own tune but still careful to hum in chorus with Duterte. On July 23, 2018, the sneaky maneuvers paid off, and Gloria Arroyo was declared House Speaker of the House of Representatives. With elections coming up in 2019, the vultures have lined up, eager to receive Duterte’s blessings in anticipation that this will translate to public electoral support. Arrogating powers that only dictators have no shame doing, Duterte flexed his muscles when he jailed Senator Leila de Lima over alleged drug charges in 2016; when he allowed the burial of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in the same year; when he declared martial law in Mindanao in 2017; when he ousted former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno in 2018; and recently, when he scripted the arrest of critic Senator Antonio Trillanes III.

  • 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.

  • Introduction 2017, Jakarta, 1 September 2016
    CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 13-14 JULY 2017 BANGKOK THAILAND CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 13-14 July 2017 Bangkok Thailand 1 Introduction As independent, state-funded bodies with broad, internationally-endorsed mandates to protect and promote human rights, National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) serve as a vital bridge between the government and civil society, and play a distinct role in ensuring the effective implementation of international human rights standards at the national level. However, in Southeast Asia, NHRIs find themselves established in transitional or repressive regimes, posing unique obstacles to the promulgation of their mandate. The capacity to investigate human rights violations, to conduct national inquiries or public hearings and to secure remedies for human rights victims of NHRIs in the region of Southeast Asia are often not satisfactory. To address the potentials, challenges and opportunities of NHRIs in the Southeast Asia Region, Asia Centre in collaboration with ASEAN-China International Studies Program, the Lutheran World Federation and with the support from the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy convened the Centre’s 2nd International Conference on “National Human Rights Institutions in Southeast Asia: Challenges of Protection”. It was held at the Centre’s premises in Bangkok, Thailand on 13 and 14 July 2017. Over the course of two days and nine panels, the conference assembled over 29 presenters and 44 participants from across the ASEAN, New Zealand, Nepal, India, the U.S. and the U.K. Two of the six Southeast Asian NHRIs—the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) and Indonesia National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM)—were in attendance along with a representative from the New Zealand National Human Rights Commission.

  • Bab Iii Faktor-Faktor Personalitas Rodrigo Duterte Dalam Kebijakan War on Drugs
    BAB III FAKTOR-FAKTOR PERSONALITAS RODRIGO DUTERTE DALAM KEBIJAKAN WAR ON DRUGS Keberadaan peredaran narkotika dan obat bius di Filipina sebagai persoalan sosial dan keamanan yang serius kemudian mendorong pemerintah Filipina untuk melancarkan war on drugs. Kebijakan ini dijalankan dengan melibatkan berbagai elemen, dari fungsi kepolisian sebagai institusi utama yang di dukung dengan institusi angkatan bersenjata Filipina. War on drugs ini dijalankan langsung atas perintah Presiden Duterte beberapa saat pasca terpilih sebagai presiden Filipina. Implementasi war on drugs ternyata tidak lepas dari figur persoanalitas Rodrigo Duterte yang berupaya keras mewujudkan keamanan Filipina yang kondusif bersamaan dengan kebijakan war on terror. Kemudian kebijakan war on drugs juga tidak lepas dari dukungan partai politik dan masyarakat yang memotivasi Duterte untuk menjalankan kebijakan tersebut. Pada bab III ini akan diuraikan lebih lanjut tentang implementasi kebijakan war on drugs, serta kapasitas Rodrigo Duterte dalam kebijakan ini. A. Implementasi Kebijakan War on Drugs di Filipina War on Drugs merupakan sebuah kebijakan secara sistematis dan komperehensif dalam menangani peredaran narkotika dan obat bius dalam lingkup nasional. Kebijakan war on drugs menjadi pendekatan politik-keamanan yang merujuk pada kebijakan-kebijakan serupa yang juga dijalankan oleh negara lain, misalnya Meksiko ataupun 35 Kolombia. Menurut Irris Ulvang yang merupakan jurnalis Filipina menyatakan bahwa : ”...war on drugs merupakan kebijakan- kebijakan yang dijalankan oleh Rodrigo Duterte karena ini merupakan hutang politik ketika kampanye, bahkan konstituen yang sebelumnya tidak menentukan pilihannya ke Duterte akan berbalik karena inisiatif- inisiatif pada bidang keamanan, dimana masyarakat ketika itu cukup mendambakan stabilitas keamanan Filipina yang kondusif khususnya di wilayah-wilayah yang jauh dari Manila.”1 Pernyataan di atas menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan war on drugs di Filipina tidak lepas inisiatif Duterte.

  • President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
    President Rodrigo Roa Duterte President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 in Maasin, Southern Leyte to Vicente Duterte and Soledad Roa who were both civil servants. His mother was a public school teacher while his father was a government worker. Duterte traces his roots to the Visayas. He spent his early years in Danao, Cebu, the hometown of his father. But his lineage has also direct ties from Mindanao as his mother hails from Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte while his paternal grandmother was a Maranao. In 1949, when Duterte was four years old, his familt resettled in the then-undivided Davao where his father Vicente later entered the political arena and was elected governor of the province and served from 1959 to 1965. Duterte graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science at the Lyceum of the Philippines University and obtained a law degree from San Beda College of Law in 1972. He passed the bar exam that same year. He served as special counsel and later on became a city prosecutor at the City Prosecutor’s Office in Davao City from 1977 until 1986, when he was appointed as OIC Vice Mayor of Davao City. He ran and successfully won the mayoralty post in 1988. Since then, Duterte has not lost an election. He is among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines and has been Mayor of Davai City for severn terms, totalling more than 22 years. He also served as vice-mayor and as congressman of the city’s first congressional district.
