“Here was Manila”
The 1945 Battle of Manila, one of the Asia-Pacific War’s deadliest urban battles, remains marginalized in scholarly and commemorative memory even as it circulates widely online. This article examines how YouTube videos represent the battle through spatial narratives: military operations, architectural destruction, and marginalized civilian experiences. By analyzing 17 videos, the article interrogates how content creators transform urban catastrop…
Frameworks and Practices Towards a Sustainable and Peaceful Future
Duterte's International Criminal Court Arrest and the Moral Economy of Reciprocity in the Philippines
The arrest of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte under an International Criminal Court warrant and his subsequent detention appear to have amplified his popular appeal among Filipino publics. This article unpacks Duterte's enduring popularity by analysing how Filipino cultural values reinforce populist and nationalist narratives, particularly during moments of political crisis. We focus on how utang na loob (debt of gratitude) has been m…
Visualizing War and Peace Through World War II Memorials and Monuments in the Philippines
Historical Ambiguity as Political Resource
This article examines how historical ambiguity becomes a distinctive political resource in post-colonial societies. Analysing presidential communications from 2016 to 2022, I demonstrate how former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte strategically exploited documentary gaps surrounding the hero Lapulapu. Where colonisers destroyed or never created comprehensive pre-colonial records, “narrative vacuums” emerge, enabling populist leaders to constr…
Populist desires, nostalgic narratives
Memorial choreography and the politics of war commemoration in Thailand
This article examines how Thailand’s twentieth-century war memorials function as dynamic stages where competing political and cultural demands are negotiated through a process I term ‘memorial choreography’. Through analysis of the Volunteer Soldiers’ Monument, the Victory Monument, and various royal monuments, I demonstrate how Thai leaders strategically designed, transformed, and activated these commemorative spaces to legitimise their authorit…

Navigating Peace and Sustainability in an Increasingly Complex World
The Filipino comfort women on YouTube
In this article, we examine the representation and contestation of Filipino comfort women’s memories on YouTube and assess the platform’s role in public discourse and transnational activism. Our content analysis of visual and narrative elements, alongside user commentary on selected videos, reveals that YouTube acts as a crucial transnational medium, linking advocacy networks and contextualizing historical narratives. However, the videos often se…
Duterte's transactionalist foreign policy and the Covid‐19 crisis in the Philippines
This article contributes a new layer to the existing analyses of Duterte's foreign policy by arguing that he epitomized a transactionalist approach to Philippine foreign policy. This approach favored bilateral to multilateral relations, focused on short‐term wins rather than long‐term foresight, adhered to a zero‐sum worldview, rejected value‐based policymaking, and did not follow a grand strategy. Most of these qualities have been apparent in Du…
A critical analysis of selected global sustainability assessment frameworks
The Politics of Asia-Pacific War Memorialization in Thailand's Victory Monument and the Philippines' Shrine of Valor
This paper explores the politics of Asia-Pacific War memory and memorialization in Southeast Asia, evident in the production context and visual semiotic resources of Thailand's Victory Monument, a generic memorial to Thai war heroes, and the Philippines' Shrine of Valor, a historical shrine complex dedicated to Filipino and US soldiers of the Asia-Pacific War. These heritage structures represent two divergent memorialization practices that demons…
A global analysis of interactions between peace and environmental sustainability
The aim of this study is to identify which components of peace are most associated with environmental sustainability. Drawing on the Global Peace Index, Positive Peace Index, and Environmental Performance Index, our study shows that environmental performance (especially regarding air quality, safe sanitation, and safe drinking water) is more closely associated with positive peace (particularly concerning equitable distribution of resources and hi…
“Dainty hands do useful work”
This article analyzes the visual depiction of women in the Tribune, the main propaganda newspaper of Japan in the Philippines during the Pacific War. Japanese wartime propaganda painted an image of a productive and cooperative Filipina, respectable and modest like her Japanese counterpart. The analysis reveals three motivations for depicting women in said light: to show a semblance of normalcy despite the turbulent war, to entice women to serve J…
Duterte, and the Politics of Commemoration in the Philippines
Mediating Civil Conflicts in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia has been a hotbed of intractable civil conflicts motivated by several issues such as ethnicity, ideology, and historical injustice, among others. Despite the intractability, there have been instances when third-party assistance through mediation has been vital in achieving peace agreements in the region. Using the cases of the third-party mediation of the conflicts in Aceh, Indonesia and Mindanao, Philippines, this research identif…
