Dutertismo is a middle class aspiration.

- Safer environment
- Need for law and order
- Protection of life and property

Heydarian gets it. Not sure why he doesn’t like it.

Watch how Heydarian keeps a neutral face while learning that the GenZs:

- 30-40% DDS. 20% progressive. 15% Loyalist.
- Solid North is a mirage. Solid South is real.
- Class ABC voted for Duterte.
- Vico can be the middle ground.

Dutertismo pa rin.

If DDHs are worried about China backing the Dutertes, wait until they learn how long the US has been funding local politicians—including Robredo.

HOW FOREIGN MONEY HIJACKS PHILIPPINE SOCIETY

The Jesse M. Robredo Foundation is the family foundation of the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo.
Its Young Leaders for Good Governance program was launched with the International Republican Institute, or IRI.

IRI is closely connected to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which is funded by the U.S. Congress.
And this is where things get interesting.

NED >
NED was created in 1983, with former CIA Director William Casey involved in its early development. In 1991, one of NED’s own co-drafters, Allen Weinstein, openly said: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”

Different institution. Different language.

But the basic idea is still to use American government money to support political and civil society networks abroad under the banner of democracy and good governance.

In the Philippines, one of those channels runs through IRI and into programs connected to the Robredo foundation.

The Young Leaders for Good Governance program trains young Filipino mayors, vice mayors and councilors. This isn't simply an election campaign donation. It is something potentially more influential in the long run: training and networking for people who are already in local government and may go on to bigger positions.

The foundation itself highlighted YLGG fellow Sylvester Austria after he was elected mayor of Jaen, Nueva Ecija.
And this isn't the only foreign funding channel.

The foundation's mayor fellowship has also been conducted with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Philippines, a German political foundation.

So you have American money and European political foundations supporting similar “good governance” and leadership programs for Philippine local officials.

The chain is pretty straightforward:
U.S. taxpayers → U.S. Congress → NED → IRI → YLGG training → young Filipino local officials → some eventually move into higher local positions.

I'm not saying every person who participates in these programs is a foreign puppet. That would be far too simplistic.
The bigger question is who gets access to these networks, who funds the training, what ideas are being promoted, and how these relationships shape the next generation of Philippine political leaders.

Because once foreign governments and political foundations are helping decide who gets trained, connected and promoted through “good governance” networks, it's no longer just about a seminar.

It becomes part of the political ecosystem.

And that deserves much more scrutiny.

He never wanted the presidency.

That may be the most revealing thing Ferdinand Marcos Jr. told Gary Valenciano.

Before politics, there was the rain: a schoolboy from La Salle running to an empty lot to play with friends. There was music, science fiction, machines taken apart simply to see how they worked.

Then came 1986.

The palace was gone. Hawaii was the new reality. Washing dishes, doing laundry, buying groceries -- ordinary things became lessons in starting over.

There are no good old days, Marcos said. Time moves in one direction.

Perhaps that is what Unshaken, Gary V.’s conversation with him, ultimately revealed: not a different president, but the complicated distance between the man we see and the life that made him. | JM

@courierfalcon Most Pinks aren’t that deeply informed. They just rely on the goodwill of their saintly politicians, magnified by mainstream media.

Tamad + Self-Righteous = Pinks

[Wapooosh! @pffftkinam]

Consumer brands constantly run surveys to monitor performance, and if the numbers are bad, they fix it.

This is what the Pinks are supporting. PBBM is a sunk cost, and they’re just reveling in the messy shit with him.

PANELO TO TRILLANES: ‘ANG ALLEGATIONS NIYA PANG-PARLOR, HINDI PANG-KORTE’

WATCH: Vice President Sara Duterte’s spokesperson Paolo Panelo dismisses former Senator Sonny Trillanes’s allegations linking Duterte to the Chinese government.

In an interview at the Senate, Panelo said Trillanes avoided legal scrutiny by declining to testify before the court.

“Sa korte, may sinusundang rules of admissibility, personal knowledge, credible evidence. Clearly, wala siya no’n,” Panelo said. | @TristanNodalo
