Matters of Fact - May 4, 2021

In today's episode, Christian Esguerra talks about the statement, the strongest to date even by his own standards, coming from Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. toward China. He told Beijing to "get the f out" of the West Philippine Sea.

In today's episode, Christian Esguerra talks about the Ombudsman's dismissal of a complaint against members of the Manila Police who kept prisoners in squalid conditions. This was discovered in 2017. They were kept in a very small space hidden behind a bookshelf. What many thought was an open and shut case turned out to have more complications, at least as far as the ombudsman was concerned.

Matters of Fact - April 27, 2021

In today's episode, Christian Esguerra talks about the push by certain senators to look into China's illegal activities in the West Philippine Sea. What can this investigation or inquiry reasonably achieve given President Rodrigo Duterte's appeasement and defeatist policy toward China even this late in his administration? And should the country already shift to a looser general community quarantine?

Matters of Fact - April 26, 2021

In today's episode, Christian Esguerra breaks down the results of the latest Pulse Asia survey of possible presidential contenders in next year's elections. 27% of the respondents in that survey conducted on February 22 to March 3 showed a preference for the daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio. How much of this preference has to do with the president transferring his popularity to his daughter? Is this the result of the president's own merits or track reco...
