In the Public Square: Does BBM know what he’s doing?

MANILA, Philippines – The political outlook for the year is stormy, with a chance of impeachment and maybe even of a transition. The turbulent forecast contrasts sharply with the apparent lack of urgency, or preparation, in Malacañang.

Is President Marcos Jr. seeing the same risks? And does he know what he’s doing?

In this episode of In the Public Square, Rappler columnist John Nery is joined by two of the most influential thinkers in Philippine politics.

Victor Andres “Dindo” Manhit is the founder and managing director of the Stratbase Group and president of its think tank, the Stratbase ADR Institute.

The columnist Manuel L. Quezon III is a historian who is known to many, and now here on Rappler as well, as The Explainer.
