EP 58: Can the Opposition Unite vs Duterte?
Aug 11, 2021•45 min
Episode description
President Duterte has been on the offensive on certain politicians — first it was Senator Manny Pacquiao, and more recently, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno.
One common denominator, of course, is this — both Pacquiao and Moreno are — or perhaps, “were” — allies of this administration perhaps, even considered as “enablers” of Duterte.
The other commonality — both of them are seen as serious threats to Duterte’s president candidate or candidates in the 2022 elections.
In the meantime, efforts are underway to unite the political opposition under a single presidential candidate.
But who will that be?
How do you unite opposition forces and figures with separate plans and ambitions beyond 2022?
Who, by the way, is the opposition?
