Since his election in May of 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte has charted a controversial course for his country, the Philippines. In just six months, Duterte has shaken up his country’s foreign relations, launched an attempt to amend the constitution, and overseen a campaign against drugs that has resulted in the deaths of nearly 6,000 people. This panel features four experts from the University of Michigan: Deirdre de la Cruz (Asian Languages & Cultures/History), Allen Hicken (Political Science), Allan Lumba (History), and Victoria Reyes (Center for Institutional Diversity). The panelists will offer their perspectives on Duterte’s tumultuous term and its implications for the Philippines.
