On the night of August 16, 2017, in a crowded neighborhood in Caloocan City, Metro Manila, gunfire pierced the air. Hours later, the lifeless body of a 17-year-old boy was discovered in a dark alley near the Tullahan River.The victim's name was Kian Lloyd delos Santos—a student, a joker among friends, and a teenager who once dreamed of becoming a police officer.His death would become one of the most defining moments in former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs—a campaign that had already claimed thousands of lives but had rarely held perpetrators accountable.This is the story of Kian, the police officers who killed him, the investigation that followed, and what his case reveals about one of the most brutal chapters in the Duterte administration.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

Stupefan, buon venerdì, rieccoci qui! Non c'è tempo da perdere e tante cose croccanti sono successe in queste ultime due settimane. Andiamo con ordine. È arrivata la formale incriminazione della Corte Penale Internazionale nei confronti di Rodrigo Duterte, ex presidente delle Filippine e primo leader al mondo ad essere sotto processo per le sue sanguinose politiche contro le droghe. Poi, coup de théâtre, ci facciamo aiutare dai primi dati a un anno dalla regolamentazione della cannabis in Germania a smontare le tesi proibizioniste del gasparrone medio.

Will the ICC even bother to take note of the Senate resolution seeking a house arrest for Rodrigo Duterte?
This is the fifth and final episode in a series regarding America's history with its first colony, the Philippines. The Philippines gained its independence in the wake of WWII, but remained close allies until the rise of Rodrigo Duterte, a firebrand populist who centered a violent war on drugs at the heart of his agenda. Written before the election of Donald Trump to a second non-consecutive term, this episode looks at the parallel's between Duterte's demonization against drug users and the way that the GOP talks about illegal migrants in the US.

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einem Rückblick auf die Rede von US-Präsident Donald Trump vor der UN-Generalversammlung. Der Präsident schockierte viele mit seinen Angriffen auf die UNO, seinen Bemerkungen zur Migrationssituation in der EU und seiner Zurückweisung des Klimawandels als „Schwindel“ und „Betrug“. Anschließend sprechen wir über den ehemaligen philippinischen Präsidenten Rodrigo Duterte, der wegen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit angeklagt wurde. Unser Wissenschaftsthema widmet sich heute einem Artikel, der über einen Zusammenhang zwischen reduziertem Koffeinkonsum und lebhafteren Träumen berichtet. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Verleihung der Ig-Nobelpreise 2025, mit denen skurrile, aber innovative Forschungsarbeiten ausgezeichnet werden.

Listen to this episode with lawyer Kristina Conti on the charges recommended by the ICC prosecutor against Rodrigo Duterte.
Die Internasionale Strafhof het die gewese Filippynse president Rodrigo Duterte van drie klagte van misdade teen die mensdom aangekla. Die 80-jarige Duterte word daarvan beskuldig dat hy tussen 2013 en 2018 onregstreeks aanspreeklik was vir die moorde op meer as 76 mense tydens sy sogenaamde dwelmoorlog. Hy is sedert Maart in Nederland in aanhouding. 'n Woordvoerder van die Strafhof, Fadi El Abdallah, het bewerings verwerp dat die hof met die land se huidige president, Ferdinand Marcos, saamwerk in die saak teen Duterte:

How big is the decision of Royina Garma to testify vs Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court?
It was a campaign promise with deadly consequences. In the Philippines, the war on drugs led by former president Rodrigo Duterte resulted in over 30,000 deaths, according to international organisations. It also left behind broken families who are fighting for justice. Duterte was arrested in March and now faces charges at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. FRANCE 24's Lisa Gamonet reports.
Aux Philippines, la guerre sanglante menée par l'ancien président Rodrigo Duterte a fait plus de 30 000 morts, selon les organisations internationales. Elle a aussi laissé derrière elle des familles brisées, qui se battent désormais pour obtenir justice avec l'aide des églises de l'archipel. En mars dernier, Duterte a été arrêté et doit désormais faire face à la Cour pénale internationale pour crime contre l'humanité.

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and James Carouso dive deep into former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's dramatic 2016 pivot from the US to China. Joined by authors Marites Vitug and Camille Elemia, they discuss their book Unrequited Love: Duterte's China Embrace.The conversation kicks off with why this "love affair" matters globally–how it reshaped South China Sea geopolitics, tested international law, and challenged the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty over Duterte's six-year term in office. Duterte downplayed the 2016 arbitral ruling against China as "a piece of paper," turning a blind eye to Chinese incursions while seeking economic aid. Our guests explain how China provided cover for Duterte's drug war while the West heaped on criticism.Duterte's pro-China tilt stemmed from personal history: As Davao City mayor, he built ties with Chinese businessmen and harbored anti-US resentment from incidents like when a suspected US agent allegedly implicated in a Davao City bombing incident was whisked out of the country. Influenced by communist professor Jose Maria Sison and his anti-imperialist mother, Duterte viewed America as imperialists. Yet, surveys show Filipinos mostly remain pro-US and distrust China, with 70-80% favoring assertion of West Philippine Sea rights.The 2016 election saw Duterte win by portraying himself as an authentic outsider fighting a "narco state." His charm, social media savvy, and anti-elite messaging resonated, in contrast to his predecessor's perceived lack of empathy.Economically, however, the promised benefits fell flat: Duterte touted billions in Chinese loans, but only 3-4 infrastructure projects materialized. In return, the authors contend that China gained "free rein" in disputed waters, ultimately blocking Philippine resource exploration. Xi Jinping benefited from strategic breathing room, more ASEAN allies, and weakened US influence—though some in Duterte's cabinet resisted, voicing the military's deep sentiments against appeasement.Despite this, Rodrigo Duterte left office with his popularity largely intact due to his personal connection to the electorate, not his foreign policy. Our guests resist his supporters' pragmatism claims, noting neighbors like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam are able to balance China without surrendering their sovereignty.The authors express fears that his daughter Sara Duterte–the Philippines' current vice president–may revive his pro-China policies if elected in 2028. She opposes US missiles like the Typhon; never criticizes Chinese aggression, and repeats his scare tactics about war. Unlike current President Ferdinand “BongBong” Marcos Jr., who pivoted back to the US, Sara lacks significant Western exposure. Her charisma, Duterte brand, and social media machine boost her chances, even amid a recent impeachment effort.The episode touches on the recent Marcos-Trump deal (which saw tariffs barely cut from 20% to 19%), divided reactions in the Philippines, and media bubbles. The authors explain that President Duterte's current ICC detention for drug war crimes has drawn sympathy, potentially aiding Sara's bid.A must-listen for insights on Philippine politics, US-China rivalry, South China Sea tensions, and Duterte's enduring legacy.

In this new episode of our monthly special created in partnership with the Journal of Democracy, Richard Javad Heydarian discusses the Philippines' dynastic democracy and political prospects in a truly global framework.Drawing on his recent article, “The Philippines' Dynastic Democracy” (July 2025, Vol. 26, No. 3), Heydarian dissects the main issues and key outcomes of the midterm elections in May; reflects on how the Philippines has been impacted by the sharpening global superpower competition; provides an insider account of former president Rodrigo Duterte's arrest and capture by the International Criminal Court; and considers the chances of as well as obstacles to a liberal-progressive breakthrough.Richard Javad Heydarian is a senior lecturer at the University of the Philippines, Asian Center, and a columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer. His books include The Rise of Duterte: A Populist Revolt Against Elite Democracy (2018) and The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China, and the New Struggle for Global Mastery (2020).The conversation was conducted by Ferenc Laczó. Lilit Hakobyan edited the audio file.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Maria Ressa, the globally celebrated free speech champion, journalist, entrepreneur, dissident, and winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for her work “to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.” Ressa is a co-founder of Rappler, one of the most influential media platforms in the Philippines. For her reporting on the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, Ressa was threatened, arrested, tried, and convicted of cyberlibel, facing over one hundred years imprisonment. Today Duterte has been arrested by the International Criminal Court and awaits trial in the Hague, Ressa has been cleared of nearly all charges, and her work as a journalist and activist continues as she warns of the very real world challenges of online disinformation. We begin with Ressa's earliest days in the United States, when her family immigrated in 1973 after martial law had been declared in the Philippines. We discuss the importance of her education in those years, in elementary, high school, and at Princeton, and the support of those who “taught her to keep learning,” lessons that would inform her pursuit of journalism when she returned to the Philippines. “I fell into journalism,” Ressa says, as she found it to be critical “connective tissue between government and the people,” and a way to “hold power to account.” She and three fellow journalists launched Rappler in 2012; by 2016, when Duterte was elected President, Ressa found herself persecuted by the government — threatened, arrested, tried and sentenced to over one hundred years in prison — for reporting on its corrupt and increasingly authoritarian practices. We discuss Ressa's fight for her rights “as a journalist and a citizen” and her realization that technology could accelerate misinformation, distort truth, and blur the boundaries between the virtual and real world. “A lie told a million times becomes a fact,” she says. Ressa chronicles these experiences in her 2022 memoir and call-to-arms How to Stand up to a Dictator: The Fight for our Future. Ressa cautions about the dangers of and linkages between the weaponization of algorithmically driven disinformation — and illiberalism worldwide. “Without facts you can't have truth, and without truth you can't have trust. The only government that exists without trust is a dictatorship: you can't have journalism or democracy.” In her own work, she and Rappler are building upon the Matrix protocol, a secure, open-source decentralized platform that has the potential to become a global independent news distribution outlet. Although she is deeply concerned — “I feel like Cassandra and Sisyphus combined,” she says – Ressa also maintains her faith in the power of people to come together for change. “It's all about community,” she explains. “We are standing on the rubble of the world that was; we need to take responsibility for the world we want. We can build a world that is more just, more equitable, more sustainable; we can do this if we decide to come together, to demand better.” Thanks for Listening!

With the recent arrest of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity, a spotlight is again on actions taken during his presidency.

Tommy and Ben discuss late-breaking news that Russia and Ukraine may agree to a 30-day ceasefire, Canada's new Prime Minister and the rapidly escalating trade war with the United States that he'll inherit, and the final death knell for USAID. They also talk about the irrational anger at the Trump administration's direct talks with Hamas, and the Anti-Defamation League's ludicrous support of the arrest of a Columbia university student for his role in pro-Palestine protests. Then they cover the recent violence in Syria between the new government and pro-Assad loyalists, and the ICC arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, former President of the Philippines. Then Tommy speaks to journalist and System Update host Glenn Greenwald about the Trump administration's attacks on free speech, a realistic end to the war in Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's new FBI leadership, and censorship in Brazil.

Sean Williams reports from the Philippines, where former President Rodrigo Duterte's brutal drug war cost up to 30,000 lives and tore Philippine society to shreds. But was it all cover for his family's own involvement in the drug trade? Reporting from Duterte's stronghold of Davao, where he ran a decades-long death squad, and capital Manila, which bore the brunt of that bloody blueprint, we expose the genesis of the war — and its longtime link to Triads and other criminal groups. Duterte's connections to the drug trade have rarely been reported on in English and are just starting to make waves. This episode, backed by exclusive sources and firsthand accounts, challenges mainstream narratives and sheds new light on one of the most controversial anti-drug campaigns in modern history.
