Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"I'm Not President of My Family": What Marcos' SONA Really Signals
Q: What long-term structural reforms would help prevent a recurrence of this kind of corruption in infrastructure projects?
Reforms like a national master plan for infrastructure, stronger anti-dynasty legislation, and party-law reforms, plus a robust, depoliticized process for identifying projects, are essential to shift incentives away from patronage and toward merit and transparency.
"I'm Not President of My Family": What Marcos' SONA Really Signals
Q: Do you think the rhetoric will translate into real, timely prosecutions against all those implicated, including allies?
No, prosecutions are inherently slow in the Philippines and likely to be selective; the real test is whether the administration sustains pressure from civil society and media to keep investigations moving and not allow delays for political advantage.
"I'm Not President of My Family": What Marcos' SONA Really Signals
Q: First off, what was your reaction to the president saying his cousin would be charged and that accountability would be pursued?
The gesture is significant because it places institutional accountability above personal ties, which could indicate a genuine effort to address corruption, though its impact will depend on how quickly and transparently cases move forward.
Saving Siargao, Part 2: The secret crisis beneath the island's seas
Q: Can you tell us how you first got into diving and why you fell in love with it?
Chie explains she started as a professional mermaid and later became a dive master; diving offered learning, financial independence, and a profound connection to underwater life that made her fall in love with the ocean.
Saving Siargao, Part 3: How corruption is destroying the environment
Q: Can you tell us more about what's happening in Siargao in regard to the environment?
The environment is repeatedly impacted by a combination of corruption, unlawful construction, and insufficient oversight, leading to projects that damage ecosystems and fail to deliver proper benefits to local communities.
