| Abstract |
Radical democracy was unheard of in Philippine academia, at least as far as discussions during conferences, before young scholars from the South took the lead to use it as a vantage point to reflect on the rise to power of President Rodrigo Duterte. This began in 2017 after Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc was awarded a research grant by the Ateneo de Davao University to conduct his Radical Democracy in the Time of Duterte project. After the research ended, several papers were published and some three or four conferences were dedicated to the theme, beginning with the 7th Social Ethics Society Conference at Pearl Farm Resort. One of these events was held in Japan at Nagoya University and hosted by no less than Wataru Kusaka. The SES Journal also devoted a special issue on the subject matter. The authors in this new volume come from different institutions in the South. Benjiemen Labastin and Gerry Arambala teach at La Salle University in Ozamiz City. Menelito Mansueto teaches at Mindanao State University in Iligan City. Dr. Rogelio Bayod is a development scholar who is teaching at Cor Jesu College in Digos City and last but not least, Ruben Balotol is a faculty at the Visayas State University in Baybay, Leyte. They are a group of young researchers who have shown maturity and great promise in their work, having been published and cited in peer-reviewed journals. It is hoped that this book will be a living testament to a critical period in Philippine history and serve as the voice of the underrepresented in Philippine society. This is a big accomplishment that many of us in the Visayas and Mindanao region can be truly proud of. |
