Once Duterte’s ICC trial is over, then I can finally write that book about Philippine democracy. But for now, I’ll keep observing. 😊

Proud of Aletheia Valenciano Edcel John A. Ibarra and Miguel Hermo. They did very well, presenting our initial findings. There is really no substitute for fieldwork. Research publications are in the pipeline. For now, they deserve some time off. 🥰

The unraveling of the Uniteam is the headline in @channelnewsasia.bsky.social this morning 😨 Not the kind of limelight the country needs right now 😐 Nothing like a nasty dynastic catfight to further dampen investor confidence & undermine political stability 😢 #Budol

Hoping that more institutions and social forces call out the shameless display of political hubris/tantrums/meltdown/brattiness that is inviting the country to once again undergo a pernicious cycle of political instability. Again, not everything is about you.

Here's my first ever Fulcrum article as a Visiting Fellow of the Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. I talk about the Philippines' status as a lower-middle income country since the World Bank started its income-based country classification in 1989. fulcrum.sg/so-near-yet-...

So Near Yet So Far: The Philippines’ Lower-Middle-Income Country Trap | FULCRUM
Despite claims of strong growth by economic managers, the Philippines remains stuck in a lower-middle-income trap, lagging behind its ASEAN peers.

When I was a younger faculty, I wonder why my mentor would just give me opportunities to attend international conferences. For me, why would she do this? 20 yrs after, I understood her, since I am now in her shoes. It’s such a joy to open doors for your younger colleagues. This is my professorship🥰

I miss my quiet, solitary walks around UP Diliman’s Acad Oval at dusk. There’s just so many people on campus right now. The campus atmosphere has radically changed.

This was a passion project with Dr Jean Franco: an edited volume of highly reputable Filipino scholars based in the Philippines. May we inspire more rigorous analysis by local voices with deep lived experiences. Thanks to everyone for participating in our Nov 7 book launch 🥰 Pics taken by Eli Sepe.
