[In The Public Square] Sara Duterte’s midnight meltdown: Views from Davao

In the wee hours of Saturday, November 23, Vice President Sara Duterte took over a press conference and, among other outrages, said that she had a plan to kill the President of the Philippines, if something were to ever happen to her.

In the short history of our republic, we’ve seen vice presidents in open conflict with their presidents—but nothing like this. The decisions she made on purpose that led to that meltdown, and the decisions taken since then, raise the inevitable question: What is happening to the Vice President?

What do Davaoeños think? What is the public mood like in the Dutertes’ long-time base?

In this episode of In The Public Square, Rappler columnist and editorial consultant John Nery is joined by two respected members of Davao’s civil society: Ateneo de Davao College of Law alternative and developmental lawyer Angelisa Razo and environmental and human rights advocate Mags Maglana.
