Dr. Vicente Rafael, University of Washington, Jackson School of International Studies

Since the inauguration of President Rodrigo Duterte on June 30, the Philippines has received much attention in the media, unfortunately not all of it good.

President Duterte’s domestic policy has focused on combating illegal drug trade by initiating a nationwide drug war that resulted in more than 2,000 vigilante murders to date.

Now, he says he is cutting off military relations with the U.S., and has welcome new relations with China.
