00:00.0
Ma, pwede pa off yung TV ma yung internet?
00:30.0
Very very important, hopefully important and consequential novel, no?
00:34.7
About sa Pilipinas, about sa ICC, about sa EJK
00:39.0
At some horrors na nangyari ng panahon ng digong
00:41.8
So we had to have some proper dinner conversation
00:44.4
And you know, kind of a writer to writer, political thinker to entrepreneur thinker kind of conversation
00:53.6
So pasensya na kung medyo late tayo nag-start
00:55.8
Pero, alam niyo naman, hindi natatulog ang balita
01:01.7
At thankfully dahil may followers tayo from all around the world
01:06.4
Minsan kahit medyo late tayo or maaga
01:08.2
At least kahit papano may mga nananood pa rin sa atin kahit papano
01:12.5
But you know, I do things sometimes not because I think it's the most timely thing
01:17.4
Not because it's the best thing to do per se
01:20.5
But because it's the right thing to do
01:22.5
And sa tingin ko, bago natin i-marites pa ito lalo with si Richard Alden
01:31.4
Of course, pag talagang usapan marites, yan ang masarap kausap eh
01:34.9
Bago natin i-marites ng gusto, hopefully tomorrow
01:37.6
Sabi ko, I have to give my own two cents
01:40.7
So it's now out in the open
01:43.7
All of the speculations about the first lady and people in the first family
01:48.2
Having, I don't want to say bad blood
01:53.3
But at least not being very impressed with what's happening with the house of Duterte
01:57.7
Eto na, it's already now open
02:01.3
Si Toning ba yung interview na yan?
02:03.8
Diba, ka-Toning ba yung nag-interview?
02:15.7
It's now out in the open
02:18.5
And I don't think this is just
02:20.5
Sa akin palagay, hindi ito spontaneous lang
02:24.9
I think pinag-isipan na mabuti
02:26.4
Kung dapat isa sa publiko
02:29.5
Yung mga ganitong sentimento
02:31.3
Dahil sigurado na
02:33.4
Siguradong sigurado na may epekto eto
02:35.7
Dun sa whatever is left of the UNITEAM
02:39.5
And at the same time, of course, nakikita din natin na hindi eto
02:43.4
Essentially nagmi-mirror nung sinasabi ni President Marcos Jr.
02:49.7
Na andun pa rin UNITEAM
02:51.2
Essentially everything is fine and dandy
02:53.5
Na baliwala sa kanya
02:54.9
Yung mga insulto at hominem ng dating Paulong Duterte
02:59.5
No, now you have the First Lady coming out and saying
03:02.2
Hindi siya natutuwa sa nangyari
03:03.8
And we already saw
03:04.7
We had a glimpse of that
03:07.1
Dun sa some of the pre-departure events
03:09.4
Kung saan medyo, alam mo na
03:12.3
Di ba, hindi ganon ka
03:13.7
Just to put it mildly
03:14.7
Hindi ganon ka warm yung interaction between the First Lady and Sarah Duterte
03:18.5
Essentially the two most important women
03:20.4
As far as our political landscape and system is concerned
03:25.0
So, let's first look at anong sinabi ni
03:29.0
First Lady and Sarah Duterte
03:29.3
First Lady and Sarah Duterte
03:29.3
First Lady and Sarah Duterte
03:30.2
Tapos pag-usapan natin yung konteksto
03:33.4
Nang kanyang intervention
03:37.1
And then after that, pag-usapan natin
03:39.3
Ano yung implication ito
03:41.0
Pagdating sa ating politika
03:42.4
And some of the major, major political earthquakes
03:46.0
That are more or less in the pipelines
03:48.9
So, yun ang pag-aintindi ko
03:50.2
Perhaps before the end of the year
03:55.4
Kay Katuning pala ito
03:57.1
Okay, in-interview din tayo na ito ni Katuning
03:59.4
So, it's interesting that the First Lady
04:03.6
You know, of all people and journalists and all
04:06.4
Chose to have interview with
04:08.9
Well, of course, this is also a broadcaster and journalist
04:11.4
But more in the kind of a blogger setup
04:14.9
But alam naman natin si Katuning
04:17.3
You know, has very, very influential interviews
04:21.0
Including with billionaires and all
04:22.5
So, siguro, he developed this very strong rapport
04:25.3
And that's why the First Lady feels very comfortable
04:27.8
Having this kind of conversation
04:29.4
Very, very contentious, I would say
04:32.3
Sets of quotes and interventions coming out here
04:36.6
Sa teaser pa lang ito
04:39.0
Dun sa vlog ni Chunin kay Katuning
04:45.4
Sabi ni Lisa, the First Lady
04:48.3
She was, quote, always kind
04:50.3
Dun sa Duterte family
04:52.9
Particularly Vice President Duterte Carpio
04:55.7
Pero para sa kanya
04:57.3
Parang nag-cross the line na yan
04:59.2
Medyo next level niyan
05:00.8
Bat-shot na yan sa akin
05:02.5
She's a bat-shot to me
05:04.1
I mean, for me, nasaktan ako
05:05.5
I was hurt because my husband will do everything to protect you
05:09.2
Okay, referring to how President Marcos Jr.
05:12.9
Month after month
05:15.9
Kaya sabi ko may parang marupok na ito eh
05:19.2
Not only with the Vice President
05:23.2
But in a way, stood with the whole Duterte family
05:25.4
I mean, despite all the attacks, no?
05:29.2
Very, very problematic
05:30.8
And some would say even insurrectionary
05:33.4
Statements and speeches by the former President
05:38.0
The whole, you know
05:39.2
The whole basket of
05:42.3
You know, alam mo na, sinong mga yan
05:47.1
The only time na nakita natin na talagang napikon siya
05:49.6
And he said something
05:50.2
Wasabi niya, ayan
05:51.0
Nasobra ng fentanyl
05:52.5
But actually, if you look at it
05:53.9
The fentanyl statement
05:57.7
Was not also as insulting
05:60.0
Kasi parang sinabi niya na
06:01.6
Kawawa naman, matanda na
06:04.0
Parang ganun din yung implication nun eh
06:05.9
So I think that's where the first lady is coming from
06:08.5
Pag sinasabi niya na
06:12.8
Si Paolo Marcos Jr.
06:14.6
Has stood by you guys
06:15.5
Especially Sarah Duterte
06:17.3
Kung kay Digong na nga
06:20.0
He's called to rebellion
06:21.2
His insurrectionary
06:26.3
His ad hominem attacks
06:27.7
In spite of all of that
06:30.9
The most he could say in response
06:33.5
Pagbigyan niya na, matanda na yan
06:35.2
Baka nasobra ng fentanyl
06:36.6
Or something like that
06:37.3
Dahil kailangan niya dun sa kanyang sakit
06:40.0
If that's the farthest you were supposed to go
06:42.1
I mean, look at yung statements niya kay Sarah
06:43.9
Consistently dinidefend niya si Sarah
06:46.0
Most recently, of course
06:47.8
Dito sa konteksto ng West Philippine disputes
06:51.5
Itong very deafening silence ni Sarah Duterte
06:54.9
Remember, this is a Sarah Duterte who
06:57.7
Who has a statement on war in the Middle East
07:00.4
Who has a statement on
07:02.2
I don't know, African refugees
07:03.8
Being brought to the Philippines
07:05.5
This is someone who has a statement about
07:09.3
Statement about NPA
07:12.9
Halos lahat ng bagay
07:13.8
Meron siyang statement
07:14.7
Meron siyang sinabi
07:17.1
And then biglang dito
07:18.2
Pagdating sa West Philippine Sea
07:19.5
Pinakamahalagang issue
07:21.0
Para sa ating national security
07:26.3
I mean, this is a matter of fact
07:27.5
This is a matter of national interest
07:29.8
Na malapit sa puso ng taong bayan
07:32.4
Wala siyang statement
07:34.1
And tingin namin yung ginawa ni Marcos Jr.
07:37.8
You know, essentially putting pressure on her
07:41.1
Hey, maybe someone has to
07:42.7
Display more patriotism
07:44.7
Rather than her Mandarin speaking skills
07:50.6
There were so many ways that Marcos Jr.
07:53.7
Could have, you know, served a tea
07:55.5
Or, you know, throw some shade
07:58.4
In fact, not only he didn't do that
08:00.1
Forget about directly criticizing that
08:03.8
By the virtue of her
08:05.8
Presence in my cabinet
08:08.3
The fact na nasa kabineta ko siya
08:11.4
Sangayon siya sa aking policy
08:14.0
Huwag nyo nalang pansinin yung sinasabi niya
08:16.8
At the end of the day
08:17.9
If she's staying in my cabinet
08:19.1
That means she's supporting the key policies
08:21.1
Of my administration
08:22.2
So, hayaan nyo nalang yung tatay niya
08:24.3
Hayaan nyo nyo yung mga admin hominem attack
08:28.5
Essentially, ganun yung line ni Marcos Jr.
08:30.4
If President Marcos Jr. is willing to take it that way
08:33.1
That is not the same case
08:35.7
Doon sa kanyang asawa
08:39.1
This is where things get interesting
08:42.0
Nagte-trending ngayon
08:48.8
Nagte-trending ngayon si Lenny
08:52.2
And some people are calling for Lenny Robredo
08:55.1
To join the Marcos Jr.
08:59.8
Dep. at Secretaris
09:05.3
The idea there is
09:06.2
Palisin nyo na yung Sarah to 39
09:08.4
Lagay nyo lang si Lenny Robredo dyan
09:10.2
Baka may mas alam pa si Lenny Robredo
09:12.6
Pagdating sa edukasyon
09:16.4
I mean, compare natin
09:19.3
In performance ni
09:20.1
You know, ni Sarah
09:24.3
Ganun doon sa mga performance ni Lenny
09:26.9
Imagine lahat ng mga insulto na sinabi nila kay Lenny
09:29.5
I-kumpara natin ngayon
09:30.5
Yung performance ni Lenny
09:31.5
Yung respeto na nakuha niya all around the world
09:34.0
All the fellowship she's doing with prestigious institutions and universities
09:38.0
All of these top-level organizations
09:39.9
Inviting her to give leadership talks
09:44.6
Graduate niya ng UP School of Economics
09:47.0
Given na yan, abogado din siya
09:49.6
When you look at all of those factors
09:52.5
So, may mga nagsabi
09:54.5
Gawa tayo ng team of rivals
09:56.1
Na hindi lang yung mga ibang dilawan
09:58.4
Alam na natin sino mga dilawan na yan
10:00.5
Na gusto mong pumasok sa kabinete ni Marcos
10:02.4
Or medyo nandyan na
10:03.4
Or yung mga nag-work kay Aquino
10:05.2
Na nandyan na sa kabinete ni Marcos
10:08.6
But you know, people like for instance
10:09.8
Secretary Balisakan
10:11.4
Who worked as NEDA Secretary under Aquino
10:13.8
Is now also the NEDA Secretary under Marcos Jr.
10:17.2
Push it to its logical limit
10:18.8
Have a team of rivals
10:20.0
Interestingly, the first person who mentioned that was
10:21.9
I think, I mean Marcos
10:22.9
I think si I mean Marcos at some point
10:24.8
Meron siya mga sinasabi na ganun
10:26.0
Na kailangan natin ng team of rivals
10:27.4
I don't know if she had a clear idea about
10:29.5
You know, what a team of rivals
10:31.0
In the Philippine context would be
10:32.2
Kasi obviously nagre-refer siya dun sa
10:34.3
Fantastic biography of
10:36.6
Of Lincoln, right?
10:40.8
Prison Lincoln who had
10:41.9
Very contentious, conflicting characters
10:45.1
Nasa kabinete niya back in the day
10:47.3
Now it sometimes can work
10:48.3
Sometimes it cannot work
10:50.1
I mean, if you think of it
10:51.9
Si Digong also had a cabinet
10:53.5
That looked like a team of rivals
10:56.0
That you had leftist people there
10:58.0
At least three of them there
10:59.5
You had, God bless her soul
11:03.6
Who was a very progressive
11:04.7
You know, environmental-minded person
11:07.3
And then you had this businessman
11:08.8
Semi-trapo people
11:10.4
To be honest about it
11:11.5
And then you had this military guys
11:13.9
Who obviously hate the leftist guys
11:17.5
You know, Digong didn't try it
11:19.2
And I'm not sure it turned out very well
11:20.8
In the end, right?
11:22.2
Alam natin what happened there
11:23.3
So the whole idea of
11:24.5
The best and brightest
11:26.0
And the young and best and brightest
11:27.8
I'm not sure that's the eventual cabinet
11:30.5
Throughout much of the Duterte administration
11:32.4
And just look at the roster of people
11:34.1
Who became his press secretaries
11:36.7
That just tells you about
11:37.8
The quality of, you know
11:39.0
Cabinet that Duterte eventually
11:41.4
Was able to hold together
11:44.1
Although there were some good people
11:46.0
Like I think Secretary Lorenzana
11:47.4
Definitely was one of the stellar examples
11:50.1
Without a question
11:51.2
One of the good patriots
11:52.4
And strong, you know
11:54.2
Adults in the room
11:55.1
As far as the Duterte people are concerned
11:55.9
As the Duterte cabinet was concerned
11:57.0
But going back to this
11:57.9
Nag-trending si Lenny
12:00.9
Biglang dinamay pa daw si Lenny
12:05.2
Doon sa interview niya
12:07.6
Diba, tumakbo kayo together?
12:10.6
You run together, right?
12:12.3
Siguradoin ko yan
12:13.8
Hindi ako Cynthia Villar magsalita
12:15.9
Kaapon may talk tayo doon sa AFP
12:22.3
Bakit na nanggakuin natin sa West Philippine Sea?
12:24.6
Research, research tayo diyan
12:27.2
You run together, right?
12:28.9
Together we will rise again
12:30.1
And then you will go to the rally
12:31.6
Calling your president
12:34.2
You're going to laugh
12:35.6
Even Lenny never did that
12:38.8
I suggest you guys
12:40.9
This is in the spirit of
12:42.2
Solidarity with my fellow
12:44.0
Journalist and vlogger
12:45.5
So just please go straight
12:52.4
Dito sa interview niya
12:53.8
And looking forward to see
12:54.9
What's gonna come out
12:56.9
You're going to laugh
12:57.6
Laugh, is that right?
12:59.5
Tumawa daw si Sarah
13:02.5
Yung kanyang asawa
13:03.7
Who happens to be of course
13:04.7
Our commander-in-chief
13:05.5
And the president
13:11.2
So parang she's saying
13:12.3
Even yung pinakakalaban
13:15.1
Ay hindi gumawa na yan
13:18.4
Essentially sinasabi niya
13:21.0
Na mas opposition pa kayo
13:22.5
Sa totoong opposition
13:32.1
All the way to 2022
13:35.9
That she presented
13:39.7
The reason for being
13:41.1
That she presented
13:41.7
Was to prevent Marcos
13:45.4
The Malacanang again
13:46.3
So yun yung level
13:49.7
Between Lenny Robredo
13:54.1
Was not doing that
13:54.7
Because pinapersonal
13:55.7
Of course that's how
13:56.8
The loyalist people
13:58.2
No it's not a personal thing
13:59.5
All the horrible things
14:01.9
That happened during
14:02.5
The martial law period
14:06.4
All of the human rights
14:10.3
Or any kind of recognition
14:11.3
Of all of those things
14:14.7
So yun yung concern ni Lenny
14:15.9
But let's not forget
14:18.2
When she was asked
14:20.3
And it's not like
14:24.2
Particularly dun sa interview
14:25.3
With Tito Boy Soto
14:26.3
Shoutout naman dyan
14:31.3
Ito na naman tayo
14:34.1
Ayan na naman tayo eh
14:37.3
Nag drive drive pa tayo
14:38.9
Nagkamali pa ako sa ticket
14:46.1
Shoutout kay Tito Boy Abunda
14:49.5
Remember yung interview niya
14:52.7
With Lenny Robredo
14:55.9
Diba tinatanong niya
14:57.0
Yung mga bawat kandidato
14:58.8
Anong tingin nila
14:59.7
Dun sa mga ibang kandidato
15:01.5
Tapos nakita nyo diba
15:02.7
Ang bait ni Lenny
15:15.8
Hindi ko alam kung tinanong
15:18.5
All of them were asking
15:32.3
Biglang pinadelete
15:33.4
Niyata or something
15:37.7
Yung finastalk niya
15:39.6
Anong sinabi ni Lenny
15:41.3
Nung finastalk niya
15:42.6
Tinanong ni Tito Boy
15:46.5
Hindi Tito Boy Soto
15:49.3
Nung tinanong niya
15:54.6
Si Tito Boy Abunda
15:57.0
Wala na bangag na
15:58.3
Natural exhaustion yan
16:05.2
Nalanan niya interview niya
16:06.5
Tapos tinanong siya
16:07.5
Nang tingin mo kay
16:09.7
Tapos parang one word lang
16:10.9
Parang sinabi niya
16:13.4
Or something like that
16:17.0
Just to go back to this
16:19.4
Lenny Rovere is concerned
16:20.6
She didn't hold back
16:21.7
When she was asked about
16:25.0
I'm just telling you guys
16:27.6
Just in case you missed it
16:30.4
100 most influential
16:31.8
People in the world
16:41.7
Magazine it used to be
16:42.7
We can have a long
16:43.4
Conversation about that
16:50.3
What I've been saying
16:51.9
Just a month or two
16:53.3
After nanalo si BBM
16:56.6
Ang treatment sa kanya
16:58.5
Ang breath of fresh air
17:04.1
Nagfa-fun sa kanya
17:10.1
Is nang fantastic thing
17:13.5
They talk about Marcos
17:17.9
Bastion of democracy
17:22.1
For the sake of it
17:22.9
Basahin nga natin
17:25.5
I'm just trying to
17:27.4
Come back to this guys
17:30.1
What a crazy world
17:36.7
Two, three years ago
17:38.4
Na yung first lady
17:41.5
Kay Sarah Duterte
17:44.8
Na nagwawala kay Marcos
17:47.9
It's not the most shocking
17:48.9
Thing in the world
17:50.1
Things reach this toxic level
17:56.5
Were also the time
17:57.7
This complete transformation
17:58.7
Of the global narrative
18:00.3
Around Bongbong Marcos
18:01.5
So ito yung sinabi
18:02.9
Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos
18:05.2
For Ferdinand Marcos
18:07.6
For Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos
18:10.5
To rewrite his nations
18:11.8
His dictator father
18:13.4
Plundered billions of dollars
18:14.7
From state coffers
18:15.6
And stood accused
18:16.3
Of grievous human rights
18:20.9
To Philippine presidency
18:23.9
His family's legacy
18:25.7
Manipulation of social media
18:31.0
Nabuking na ako na
18:31.9
Hindi ko binasa yung
18:32.8
Explanations ako pa
18:34.6
In fairness naman
18:35.8
Medyo punchy pala
18:41.3
Medyo fair yung sinabi
18:43.4
Bongbong's desire
18:48.1
He brought technocrats
18:49.6
Back into government
18:53.5
Because we also had
18:54.2
Technocrats during
18:57.4
Post-pandemic economy
19:00.3
That was more of a
19:04.1
And elevated the Philippines
19:05.9
On the world stage
19:09.9
He didn't do the crazy things
19:11.0
That Digong was doing
19:11.7
At hindi tayo napaya
19:16.6
The first part is very
19:20.1
Is a little bit too nice
19:21.8
You're giving the guy
19:24.3
Bongbong has stood
19:27.7
Ito yung sinasabi ko eh
19:30.6
There are only three paragraphs
19:31.8
The first paragraph
19:35.7
Is a little bit too nice
19:40.0
Exactly what I was saying
19:43.5
Goshing over the guy
19:45.4
Bongbong has stood
19:48.3
Against Chinese aggression
19:53.5
Alliance with the United States
19:59.7
Many problems persist
20:01.5
Many problems persist
20:03.7
Including extrajudicial killings
20:04.8
And journal written killings
20:06.1
By trying to repair
20:08.5
Bongbong may reshape
20:12.6
It's not as bad as I thought
20:15.9
Alam nyo na naman
20:20.2
May mga nagpost na
20:21.1
Bakit si Digong rin
20:22.0
Si Digong was in the
20:23.5
Of most powerful people
20:24.6
I think he's the only
20:25.9
Filipino president
20:26.7
Only Filipino period
20:29.9
Forbes list of top 100
20:30.9
I'm not sure kung
20:31.6
Andun yung list na yun
20:36.3
Do not forget guys
20:43.4
100 most influential
20:44.8
Of Time magazine before
20:46.9
Just to put things
20:47.6
Into context right
20:49.2
World leaders are concerned
20:50.2
There are also some
20:51.0
Quite controversial
20:51.9
Sorry dun sa kaibigan mo
20:53.5
Nag-work sa office niya
20:55.8
Some controversial people
20:57.3
The current prime minister
21:04.1
To the fascist party
21:06.9
It's not a list of saints
21:10.6
It's a list of also
21:11.5
Some controversial politicians
21:16.5
An all over the place
21:20.3
Baka binasa din nila
21:22.0
Yung masasabi natin
21:27.8
He's very influential
21:29.0
Because in his attempt
21:30.1
To rehabilitate his family
21:31.1
Ended up doing some good things
21:32.3
Which made the Philippines
21:34.1
And a big contributor
21:37.0
The fight against
21:41.7
And Chinese bullying
21:42.8
Or something like that
21:43.8
So parang ganun yung basa natin
21:47.5
This is how she described
21:53.3
She didn't hold punches
21:57.5
The first lady is saying
22:01.1
Hindi niya sinabi niya
22:03.4
Mabait si Lenny per se
22:05.9
Mabait naman talaga si ma'am Lenny
22:07.8
But let's be honest
22:08.9
When it came to the
22:12.4
Na Lenny was very punchy
22:14.0
Although of course
22:17.0
I'm an honest guy
22:18.0
I always felt that
22:21.7
Medyo ginawa na mas mga gato
22:24.2
Sana nung maaga pa lang
22:26.3
Called na for a debate
22:27.6
So I'm not taking back
22:28.4
A lot of things I said back in the day
22:30.0
Time has just proven
22:48.9
Till the very end
22:56.5
The Vice President
23:03.8
About her feelings
23:06.8
Kasi hindi lang naman ako
23:09.7
Hindi lang naman ako
23:10.6
Ang gumagawa sa lahat
23:12.7
She's talking about
23:13.2
The pink movement here
23:14.3
Gagawin namin lahat
23:16.0
Leaving no stones unturned
23:17.2
Hindi natin gagawin
23:18.1
Yung mga masasamang
23:20.4
Yung pinakamahalaga
23:21.7
Diyos na ang bahala
23:24.1
But she was absolutely clear
23:30.8
She had no respect
23:33.2
I'm trying to find
23:37.1
The exact part of the quote
23:41.6
He has no redemption
23:42.6
He lies till the very end
23:52.2
I also suggest you guys
24:00.7
Yung interview niya
24:11.2
Kasi makikita niya
24:12.8
Matapang din talaga siya doon
24:14.3
And this is actually
24:15.7
Quote from another occasion
24:17.1
During the period of campaign
24:21.3
Yung sinabi ni Lenor
24:23.3
At the Supreme Court
24:24.8
And the decision was unanimous
24:27.1
But he really has no redemption
24:32.0
She was referring to the Marcus Camp
24:33.5
Questioning the mandate
24:35.0
Of the Vice President
24:37.6
Recast yung kanilang
24:40.2
Tatlong beses sila natalo
24:49.8
When the First Lady comes out
24:54.2
You're doing things
25:01.7
Ideological opposition
25:04.7
Very clear animosity
25:07.0
I mean you could see
25:08.9
Lenny really passionate
25:10.1
When she was criticizing Marcus
25:11.9
I mean calling them liars
25:13.6
So that's a big thing
25:17.0
Sa mga iba nagsabi na
25:20.4
Don't be ridiculous
25:22.4
Let's not stretch
25:23.9
The unity thing too much
25:25.6
Let's be absolutely clear
25:27.3
Going back to this
25:30.4
What is the implication
25:32.3
Of all of these things
25:33.4
Kung tinignan yung article ko
25:39.3
Yung column ko is
25:50.2
But quite serious
25:56.1
Ex-professor natin
26:01.7
If he wants to be
26:02.6
An effective president
26:10.2
It's very very useful
26:11.2
Ito po yung article
26:12.2
Nang sinimulat natin dyan
26:13.2
And I'll show to you guys
26:15.1
Bakit mahalaga yan
26:19.0
At saka yung nangyari ngayon
26:21.8
I won't say guns blazing
26:24.1
Calling a spade a spade
26:26.1
You know what I'm saying
26:27.5
Getting the ball rolling
26:35.1
Medyo next level ito eh
26:37.6
So ito yung article natin
26:40.6
A good Machiavelli
26:42.0
Yun yung tanong natin
26:43.3
A good Machiavelli
26:44.1
Is a term I got from
26:46.8
Semi-sarcastically
26:49.9
Professor of mine
26:51.8
So dun sa beginning
26:56.8
Niccolo Machiavelli
26:57.8
Niccolo Machiavelli
27:01.7
One must therefore be a fox
27:03.4
To recognize traps
27:06.0
To frighten wolves
27:08.9
Ang contention ko dito is
27:11.1
Fox-like politics
27:14.4
Navigating dangers
27:17.5
Building strong alliances
27:19.3
Outmaneuvering your rivals
27:23.6
Magaling mga Marcoses
27:25.2
Especially Marcos Jr.
27:26.3
If you watch the movie
27:30.8
Yung about the Marcoses
27:33.6
Correctly predicting na
27:35.1
It was just a matter of time
27:38.5
Back the Malacanang
27:41.9
My argument was very simple
27:43.9
Since their surreptitious
27:45.4
Return to the Philippines
27:46.4
Following a few years
27:47.3
Of luxurious exile in Hawaii
27:49.9
Yung iba nagsasabi
27:51.3
Yung iba nagsasabi parang kawawang
27:52.3
They had a good time
27:53.5
They brought a lot of money across
27:55.6
And they came back
28:01.6
Just flew into the Philippines
28:02.7
Next thing you know
28:08.0
Pulled off one of the most successful
28:09.1
What you can call
28:09.8
Counter-revolutions
28:11.7
Philippine history
28:13.2
Contemporary history
28:15.0
And this is the important thing
28:17.5
Well before TikTok
28:19.4
Transform our politics
28:21.3
There was Rappler
28:22.3
And all of this argument
28:23.2
About disinformation
28:25.0
The Marcos dynasty
28:25.8
Had already managed
28:26.8
To steadily regain
28:28.2
In national politics
28:29.7
With almost minimum resistance
28:31.5
What is the best evidence
28:35.9
Becomes the senator
28:38.0
Of the Philippines
28:38.7
Quite comfortably
28:40.0
This is the same year
28:42.3
That Benigno Aquino III
28:45.8
Good governance platform
28:50.0
Became the president
28:51.2
Good governance platform
28:53.7
Fernando Marcos Jr.
28:54.9
Senator of the Republic
28:59.3
Almost effortlessly
29:01.9
The rehabilitation
29:04.8
At the national level
29:06.6
Not rehabilitation
29:07.3
In the moral sense
29:08.3
But rehabilitation
29:08.8
In the political sense
29:09.8
That vast majority
29:11.2
Didn't find any problem
29:12.1
With the Marcoses
29:12.8
So just as they supported
29:15.6
To rid the country
29:17.1
From the Arroyo era
29:18.8
And Marcos becomes
29:23.1
If you look at the dynamics
29:34.2
The vice presidential race
29:36.5
Give it to the guy
29:37.6
He lost the VP race
29:38.9
He became almost irrelevant
29:43.3
And they came back
29:46.0
So they were able to
29:54.4
Sara wants to run
29:55.2
For the president
29:59.9
Marcos has come in
30:04.9
I think the binding
30:07.5
Dapat magsama tay
30:08.3
Otherwise manalit
30:10.0
Lagot tayong lahat
30:11.8
So they teamed up
30:13.7
It was an alliance
30:21.0
Fully rehabilitate
30:22.2
At the international
30:24.7
What Time Magazine
30:27.7
Completely yung part na yan
30:31.5
I've been arguing
30:32.9
So President Marcos
30:33.8
Embarked on a global
30:34.7
Publicity campaign
30:36.5
Introduce the Philippines
30:39.3
Family's reputation
30:40.7
Which seems to be
30:45.8
Western policy makers
30:48.5
Who in an incredible
30:54.4
The reference point
30:55.2
Was Rodrigo Duterte
30:56.1
Who had set the bar
30:57.8
That after six years
30:58.6
Of his disastrous
31:07.6
Marami mga oposisyon
31:11.3
His administration
31:12.0
Or became supportive
31:13.5
Behind the scenes
31:15.4
Actually quite vocally
31:18.2
The Machiavellian virtues
31:19.4
Of Fox-like politics
31:25.3
The end of the story
31:26.2
Fox-like politics
31:32.0
This is the problem
31:34.0
Going to be Fox-like
31:34.9
That will help you
31:42.8
With the Dutertes
31:45.0
Impunity throughout
31:45.9
Decades in Davao politics
31:47.2
And relishing despotic
31:48.3
Privileges during
31:49.9
Patriarch's presidency
31:50.8
The House of Duterte
31:52.9
Entitled to power
31:55.4
Could never fathom
32:01.1
Described Marcos Jr.
32:04.8
During election periods
32:06.7
Having a weak leader
32:11.6
Just as his daughter
32:18.7
Let's just be nice
32:20.5
Once he's the president
32:21.8
And manipulate him
32:23.3
Duterte saw the namesake
32:24.3
Son of our former
32:25.6
Kasi hindi na pwede
32:28.5
Kaya strong man na lang
32:33.3
They were expecting
32:35.0
To be the real power
32:36.1
Not the junior partner
32:37.5
Once they're in power
32:38.7
The Dutertes however
32:39.7
Have two major weaknesses
32:42.7
They could potentially
32:44.2
For alleged crimes
32:45.7
Under the ages of ICC
32:50.5
Role as the mayor
32:54.0
Operations that went wrong
32:55.8
But the notorious
32:57.0
Danis is also vulnerable
33:00.2
Engagement with China
33:02.5
Political and strategic
33:03.8
Intercourse with China
33:08.5
That he was horrified
33:10.2
That his predecessor
33:11.2
May have compromised
33:12.2
Through a secret agreement
33:14.5
And sovereign rights
33:15.1
Of the Philippines
33:15.7
Hindi niya sinabi
33:17.6
But parang may sinabi siyang
33:21.0
Implication of sinabi
33:25.3
BBM is still a fox
33:26.6
It didn't take long
33:29.4
In the same speech
33:32.1
Fox-like politics
33:35.9
Former president's
33:38.1
Essentially lawyering
33:39.1
For his vice president's
33:40.1
Conspicuous silence
33:41.1
On the West Philippines
33:43.7
That this was a classic case
33:45.1
Of keep your friends close
33:46.7
But keep the Dutertas
33:51.8
Fox-like politics
33:53.7
It's just one half
33:55.7
Of what Machiavelli
33:57.2
If you want to be
33:57.9
An effective leader
33:58.7
In a kind of a medieval
34:02.1
Like kind of politics
34:03.2
But one also wonders
34:04.9
Whether this was also
34:06.4
Stubborn timidity
34:08.4
So I'm not gonna use
34:09.4
Conflict avoidant
34:10.6
Because some people
34:12.0
Coin ng word na yan
34:13.5
Like I could think of
34:14.4
Ten same names for that
34:15.4
But I'll just use the term
34:17.1
Stubborn timidity
34:18.4
Since he's yet to go
34:19.9
After the House of Duterte
34:20.9
On two important fronts
34:23.0
And the West Philippine Sea
34:25.4
Marcos has largely
34:26.3
Prioritized his unity
34:29.1
Direct confrontation
34:30.2
With the Dutertas
34:32.8
That a good leader
34:37.0
Less circling wolves
34:40.6
Never was anything
34:51.2
Maybe this is how it works
34:53.5
Maybe he's the fox
34:56.2
Maybe that's how it works
34:58.0
So let's wait for more updates
35:00.4
But as I said again guys
35:07.2
Kind of intellectual culture
35:08.5
They sometimes think
35:09.3
I'm just talking all over the place
35:12.3
It's almost midnight
35:13.1
At sobrang pagod na pagod ako
35:15.2
I'm gonna connect everything together
35:17.7
This is the interesting thing
35:19.9
Marcus is the fox
35:20.7
Maybe she's the Leona
35:22.0
Maybe that combination
35:24.1
Do the trick for them
35:26.2
Dealing with the circling
35:28.1
No offense to the wolves
35:30.1
Thank you very much
35:32.5
And talk to you soon
