Richard Heydarian | Philippines Under Duterte

President Trump will meet with President Duterte during his first visit to the Philippines next month. What can be expected for the future of US-Philippine relations? Although the two countries have historically been strong allies, the elections of Trump and Duterte, as well as policy shifts in both nations, have raised questions about the stability of the relationship. The Philippines has benefited from significant US military aid for several decades. Recently both training and intelligence sharing were especially helpful as Philippine armed forces fought to regain control of Marawi following terrorist attacks by ISIS affiliates. While military aid is considered a symbol of the continued alliance between the two countries, Duterte’s renewed economic and political relations with China are causing tension. Is the Philippines looking to pivot toward China for a stronger alliance and veer away from the US, therefore shifting the strategic balance in the region? As for Filipinos as home, how are they impacted by the rise of a populist leader, one who is focused on fighting corruption and targeting drug offenders? What do these tactics reveal about Duterte as a leader? What issues can Trump and Duterte come together on and where might they disagree?
Richard Heydarian, a Filipino academic and columnist, will join us for a discussion on the Philippines under Duterte and his latest book "The Rise of Duterte: A Populist Revolt Against Elite Democracy."
SPEAKER:
Richard Heydarian
Resident Political Analyst, GMA Network
MODERATOR:
Maria Ortuoste
Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, California State University East Bay

[@demetriodolon7782]

If only Filipino people who has brain would be like your reasoning how our President brings our country for greatness , we would have been the best country in the world . Mabuhay po kayo Gode bless

[@dondon7763]

good job Richard. we need to go down and be willing to be dirty and talk with the layman on the ground and listen to their frustrations and stories and be patient. listening to this video interest me the most is that we need to change our ways and re -calibrate our minds and change our steps. it needs individual revival in character,morality and respect people in any level of society. in the scriptures Jesus said: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,with all your soul,and with all your mind, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Mabuhay ang Pilipinas. God bless our people,our leaders and our country the Philippines.

[@edenparadise2690]

well , just my own opinion; I don't believe that we all Filipinos are over forgiving . maybe it's just , we don't believe on those accusations against the Marcoses especially Ferdinand Marcos . like any writers, they can right about " history " but can they set aside their own agendas and what they would really like to put abouts?

[@rovermercado7793]

Your right Sir! we filipinos need massive education campaign.

[@chateaumargaux2833]

Exactly! But lets start with you.. it's "You're" NOT "YOUR". You're welcome 😊

Good job Dr. Heydarian!👍 Unfortunately, the lady host needs improvement to both in hosting the program and in asking questions that really matter. There's room for growth Madam.👍

[@genaropalomares4982]

Friendships relations are develop with honest to goodness talks in respectful manners. I think theirs nothing to worry about it if two leaders will talk about the World problems with both of them respect each other in their own terms.

[@abdulgazieryahcob4863]

If you forgive you should forget. But do not forget the lesson learn.

[@denzp8872]

Very informative and in depth analysis, Mr Heydarian is a walking thesaurus concerning Phil Geopolitics and Science.

[@moninaatienza]

If the Host is to be in such close up, she may as well memorize her intro, which is so simple instead of looking down to read. And fix your glasses!!

[@mrscorp2011]

He is right problems with our judicial system. The reason commission on human rights is highlighted because victims do not get immediate justice and that will question our goverment. Funny with have three branches of goverment executive, legislative and judiciary which has co equal powers if one is ineffective the rest were to blame.

[@sagaradhikari5185]

[@delia1954ful]

sorry, I'm going to find fault again with Maria Ortouste. I googled the word she said that sounded like "fociferous", there's no such word ! lol ! could it be "vociferous" ? and she wanted to sound "slangy" ? lol ! and she said "civil democracy" . what ? lol ! there are two types of democracies : Direct & Representative.

[@regiffpacomio3483]

That last comment of him. Made my agree with him. That was true. We need it. Socratic approach

[@sulpiciojrponsica8859]

[@delia1954ful]

lol ! but it seems he has woken up from his anti-Duterte nightmare. I've seen him interviewed by the BBC & he castigated the President then. hmmmm. now he's singing praises.

[@monbajs09]

[@adorcanarias2839]

Don’t try hard to be a pundit cause your not, first you come out of the blues second who recognized you your network. Look at you it seems you has a lot of talk from all over the world like you really an expert, but guess what so many but we didn’t even understand a thing. One thing we understand, that one tone voice that the more you lift up panot (n aquino) the more he is falling down. Can’t fool Filipinos anymore they have had their biggest blunder when the aquinos grab power from Pres Marcos. They suffer for 30 years in the hands of the aquinos. I’m pretty sure i know more than u, i’m on my 60’s and college grad leave both in US and Phil, my knowlegde came from experience i’m not 100% from the book.

[@messyjessy1821]

[@user-cYhjMAHpW]

Ewwww. That self-proclaimed resident analyst who quickly jump into conclusions by spreading out sinophobe and directly attacking not just Duterte but also those who criticize him. Thus calling them as trolls. Thanks to Sass Rogando Sassot, a transgender and political expert residing for teaching in The Netherlands, his vicious attitude finally unmasked right after being defeated on a debate related to arbitration case over Spratly Islands. A trying hard analysts who has poor reading comprehension.

i like this. Richard Hetdarian, He analyzes the characters of presidents and other people so intelligently.

[@bethnakano5566]

Wow, this man knew so much about our politics and he is right.

[@2nettstone330]

Yes, very fascinating and informative discussion with "The Genius" Richard Javad Heydarian.

[@Kuya_Gil]

Love this guy, his an intellect.

[@Leanneheart06]

what the people asked was "where was the chr when young girls, mothers, and grandmother were raped by the drug addicts?", not when a child was bullied..

[@niknok8690]

.

[@joelraguindin6795]

No one can finished drug problem in just 3 or 6 months...I know you know that and don't always used this as a failure...you all know that we are left behind in Asia..too much work and problem to be fix...don't be dumb..you know what is our biggest problem..

[@dioscorocenciljr4462]

Go lang IDOL!

[@abirwmd4u]

something smells here....

[@norouding8198]

Many filipinos have become disillusioned with idealogues. Duterte comes from a really pragmatic, practical look at governance, (I will show you the city I have made safe and prosperous, and I promise to do the same to the entire nation etc) Thanks for the analysis though.

[@vr_4691]

I realy love listening to this guy. He talks like a genius

[@sagaradhikari5185]

[@elzaso1257]

It is possible to maintain friends with america? But it is not possible to remain dogs, tie with chains? US Foreign Policy must stop! Philippines can live happily without america. We have a good climate and good natural resources. We have more good engineers, skilled workers and craftsmen. Our best friends must be the Asian countries..they are our bloodline..

[@lishytuadles7969]

I love this guy

[@Simplelangangbuhay]

Sana si Richard Heydarian na lang spokeperson ni PRRD sa Malacanang.

[@chrismoreno1017]

Heydarian is a two-faced yellow animal. He just lately giving good words to Digong since he got a lot of sh*t from the social media. He is only a popularity addict. Address Duterte as President sucker.

[@evelyntorres1706]

I had pinned my hope in you , Prof. HEYDARIAN , to continue on Duterte's legacy in leading this nation . Therefore , in the coming 2022 Presidential election , I'd like to commend you to the people in our provinces in Mindanao and the Visayas if you are willing to join the politics . I have seen in you great potentials in bringing back the lost glory of our national beauty because of those incompetent past leaders who didn't do much of what was expected from them in their administration , only when Duterte took his presidency , then things are slowly putting back in place . I have trust in your capabilities as a knowledgeable person without a second thought , that you could be a great leader in the next few years , in fact I have noticed all these potentials in you during the presidential campaign in 2016 in an interview with a CNN correspondent from Singapore , since that time , I'd been searching your name here in You Tube . BTW Prof. yes , I've clearly heard when you mentioned us as TROLLS here in SM , I take no offends for that , but I had to tell you this , that I take no sides to anybody whom I really have the knowledge of who they are . If I side on Duterte , this is because , I have seen his competence while bringing up Davao as what it is now and most of all , Davao is only few hrs . from our province of Cagayan de Oro city so , we often travel to DIGONG'S magical place , which I could humbly compare the city almost like Singapore , and this is my clear evidence of this MAN's past leadership . Unlike those GOSSIP MONGERS , JEALOUS AND WICKED , only knows how to OPEN THEIR BIG BAD MOUTH , but in reality have not done anything good for the nation and this truly MIND BOGGLING , and I simply HATE THESE GROUP . Thank you for your stance on DIGONG !!
