| Language | ENG |
| Author | Saighal, Vinod |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | President Duterte has launched a wide-ranging campaign of extra judicial killings in violation of constitutional norms and legal procedures. Disregarding ASEAN practices, he has also initiated a strategic shift away from the US towards China and Russia. Vinod Saighal points out that the advent of the Trump administration may halt the far reaching moves, although the evolution of the Philippines’ policies is unpredictable. |
