The Struggle for Land and the Paradox of Peace
Founded in the post-liberal peace thesis that stresses the culturally and contextually oriented peace, this paper examines the underlying causes of conflict among Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Mindanao, emphasizing the deep-rooted tensions between indigenous cosmologies and the Philippine state’s legal and governance frameworks. Despite the landmark passage of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA) …
Understanding the Meaning of Meaning
This paper intends to present the origin, concepts, and methodological approaches in the study of hermeneutics – semantics, semiotics, logical analysis, ontology, and phenomenology – in order to explain the workings of language in human experience. The question of being is the most important question in the whole of philosophy. In parallel, the question of meaning is the most fundamental when it comes to hermeneutics. The research aims to respond…
Cognitive Disability and The Ethics of Care
This study seeks to explain the importance of the ethics of care in making society just and equal. It attempts to respond to the exclusion of persons with disability. Using the interpretive method, this paper asks about society’s ethical obligations to persons with cognitive disability. It argues that the idea of cash enhancement is not enough. Caring for persons with mental impairment requires the deep type of commitment that can only be founded…
An Analysis of the Philippine Catholic Church’s Approach to President Duterte’s Drug War
Institutional clashes are catalysts for sociopolitical change, as illustrated by the five-hundred-year history of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. The church remains instrumental in the conscientization process after the EDSA People Power Revolution (1986). However, the challenge now facing the church—in particular, President Duterte’s “war on drugs”—requires a more resolute approach. This article examines the role of the Catholic Church b…
The Predatory State and Radical Politics
This paper examines why the radical approach to politics of President Rodrigo Duterte, halfway into his term, has not overcome the predatory nature of the Philippine state. The predatory nature of the state implies that politics in the country is still defined by vested interests. The struggle of the Filipino is largely due to the structural nature of the injustices suffered by the country. Duterte’s brand of politics is antagonistic. The preside…
Fighting the Oligarchs
The focus of this study is the radical politics of President Rodrigo Duterte. The leader has clashed with influential businessmen on critical issues. This investigation examines the president’s battle against the oligarchy in the country. This research will try show that the rise to power of the first president from Mindanao is a reaction to elite rule. It seeks to reveal that the style of leadership of Duterte is reflective of the historical con…
The Radical Politics of Nation-States
The advent of terrorism in the midst of political conflict requires an understanding of local context and history. Anti-establishment leaders like President Rodrigo Duterte expose the limits of liberalism. By applying the critical distinction between “politics” and the “political,” we can imagine an alternative framework in our desire to unravel the narrative of Duterte’s communitarian style. Disruption is not simply meant to put into question th…
On the Ethical and Democratic Deficits of Environmental Pragmatism
Nothing is more urgent today than climate change. As a global issue, climate justice requires the recognition by rich countries of the adverse impact of climate change, especially in the Third World. Environmental pragmatism is an ethical paradigm that offers immediate, solid and action-oriented approach to environmental problems. From a practical end, the issue seems to demand that the theoretical debates on policy should now be resolved to hold…
