Affective Communication and Economic Nationalism in Commonwealth-Era Philippines
This article examines how Filipino advocates of economic nationalism, operating through the National Economic Protectionism Association (NEPA), used emotional appeals to shape nationalist identity and consumer citizenship during the Philippine Commonwealth. Earlier works document NEPA’s marketing of Philippine goods and advocacy for economic self-reliance but have not analyzed fully the affective registers in its rhetoric. In particular, little i…
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…
Populist desires, nostalgic narratives
Articulating populism in the Philippines
The article compares the rhetorical strategies of two of the most popular post‐martial law presidents in the Philippines, Joseph Estrada (1998–2001) and Rodrigo Duterte (2016–2022). Adopting Laclau's definition of populism and localizing De Cleen and Stavrakakis's analysis of socio‐spatial dichotomies, I examine the political logic that guided the consolidation of the people and the formation of antagonistic frontiers during the Estrada and Duter…
Populism, conspiracy narratives and governmentality in Duterte’s Philippines
This article examines the semantics of populist rhetoric and conspiracy narratives in the Philippines to understand how they can be operationalized for governmental purposes. Focusing on Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency (2016–22), I argue that conspiracy narratives simplify socio-economic issues and aid the transformation of collective discontent into an instrument of governmentality. Evidence from public speeches, news articles and online ethnograph…
The Durability of Populism and Authoritarian Practices in Duterte’s Philippines
This article revisits Duterte’s populist and authoritarian performances, analyzing reports that reflect the connection between the populist logic and democratic backsliding in the Philippines. Through a systematic examination of Duterte’s real and perceived achievements, the article explains how rhetorical strategies and actions, guided by the logic of populism, help sustain popularity and justify authoritarian practices. Fulfilled promises celeb…
The Political Logic of Populism in the Philippines
The article examines the foundation and formation of populist logic in the Philippines, focusing on the presidencies of Manuel Quezon, Ramon Magsaysay, and Ferdinand Marcos—leaders who relied heavily on populist rhetoric. Combining grounded theory and critical discourse analysis, I trace the populist logic in past articulations of people’s sentiments and demands to identify populism’s linguistic and discursive features, as well as its reproductio…
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…
Populism and media in Duterte's Philippines
Since the 2016 election of Rodrigo Duterte as president, the Philippines appears to have reached a moment of peak authoritarianism. This chapter seeks to explain Duterte’s remarkable success as an authoritarian populist in two main ways: by understanding the historical national dynamics that have led to his popularity and focusing on the changing role of digitally enabled media as an explosive frontier for political consolidation. It assesses the…
Patenting sociality
While the growing influence of digital platforms on social life is now widely recognized, scholars continue to grapple with the operation of digital platforms and their mediation of social life. This article examines some of Facebook’s operational logics to shed light on the company’s social imaginary. Our argument is that Facebook imagines a sociality that can be broken down to machine-readable signals which can also be patented for capital accu…
The Philippine Pivot to China and Russia
Reexamining Rodrigo Duterte’s tirades against Western power blocs and the results of his diplomatic efforts to obtain Chinese and Russian assistance has never been more relevant, considering the measures his successor adopted to reinforce or reconfigure his foreign policy. To this end, the article revisits Duterte’s pivot to China and Russia, refining the discussion of their rationale and providing a qualitative assessment of their outcomes. Thro…
The Politics of Nostalgia and the Marcos Golden Age in the Philippines
The increasing incidence of disinformation in the Philippines promotes romanticized recollections of Ferdinand Marcos’ martial law (1972-1981). While the general scholarship remembers the era for its horrors and atrocities, narratives circulated online claim that Marcos’ rule made the nation great and that several groups and institutions conspired to distort people’s memory, serving the purpose of Marcos’ political enemies. These narratives, shar…
Policing Cyberspace
Social networking sites have become increasingly relevant in the study of democracy and culture in recent years. This study explores the interconnectedness of social networks, the imposition of state control, and management of social behavior by comparing various literature on the operation of repression in Thai and Philippine cyberspaces. It examines the overt and covert policing of daily interactions in digital environments and unpacks governme…
