In recent months, tensions rising in the West Philippine Sea have hogged the headlines, while our territorial claims in Sabah have been revived perennially by government officials and other claimants in the south. What should we know about our territorial disputes, and how do these issues affect the country's foreign policy? We talked to Dr. Herman Joseph Kraft of the U.P.

Agrarian Reform? Hindi Na Bago 'Yan! With Veronica...

PODKAS ·

2021/12/18

After almost a century, a land reform program that would genuinely emancipate the Filipino farmers remains elusive. Our agricultural situation pales in comparison to that of our neighbors. Small landholders and landless peasants find themselves in precarious and impoverished situations, especially when viewed relative to their Southeast Asian counterparts. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Veronica Gregorio, a rural sociologist from the National University of Singapore, to appraise the country’s

2021/12/11

Much has been said about Mindanao, the "land of promise" and the site of an intractable ethnic conflict that took decades to resolve. Significant milestones have been achieved in recent years, and now, we have the Bangsamoro, which has replaced the ARMM as a more preferred autonomy setup. But how should we understand the developments in Muslim Mindanao in light of the transition to Bangsamoro? We are joined by Prof. Yasmira Moner of the Mindanao State University Iligan Institute of Technology to

Charter Change? Hindi Na Bago 'Yan! With Ela Atienza

PODKAS ·

2021/12/04

In recent decades, multiple presidents have attempted to undertake constitutional reform. No one has yet to succeed. In 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte won the presidency on a platform of shifting the country to a federal system of governance, but the motion has already been long dead, sidetracked by a bevy of reasons, one of them, the COVID-19 pandemic. But as we witness and participate in the ongoing conversations regarding the 2022 presidential elections, what should we know about charter change

The climate crisis is upon us. In a country as high in the global climate risk index as the Philippines, we must understand the nature and context of a global phenomenon that threatens us today and in the future. What are the roots of this problem, and how can we engage our leaders on this issue? To know more about climate change, we talked to Dr. Doracie Zoleta Nantes of the National Panel of Technical Experts, Climate Change Commission of the Philippines.

We conclude our season on contested histories by shining a light on another underrepresented sector in Philippine history: the indigenous peoples.

We scan several historical periods to situate Moro identity and their historical experience within the Philippine polity by interrogating the place they occupied in the writing of Philippine history. Our conversation revealed that while the historical injustices they suffered since the seat of government was left to the Christian majority, it wasn't until the time of Marcos that the flames of discontent and revolt were stoked. Now that Muslim Mindanao is transforming into the Bangsamoro, we must do
