About the Book

“Christopher Ryan Maboloc’s Radical Democracy in the Time of Duterte is an impassioned analysis that depicts the gradual political ascent of Duterte from the perspective of a fellow Mindanawon. A similar opinion piece from the same author, titled “Radical Democracy in the Time of Duterte,” was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on December 16, 2016, and one can surmise that such opinion is in need of further elaboration, which could have been the very motivator of this work. This perspective is in itself a novel disconnect from the capital-centric narrative echoed among scholars. Comprising ten chapters, the book outlines the historical, political, philosophical, ethical, and religious dimensions which connived and clashed to bring about the leader that is Duterte…

“Fascinatingly gripping, Maboloc’s book relates a speculative account of how Duterte’s deliberation led him to adopt otherwise deviant stands on issues concerning the country, and in turn demands from its readers a due re-examination of our existing prejudices. It begs us to reframe the narrative and reconsider, given the circumstances, what we would have done when vested with the same power and position. Suffice it to say that we acknowledge Duterte’s merit to lie not in the results of his actions but through the embodiment of his dissent. By depicting himself as committed to dismantling a politics devoid of people, Duterte was able to

emerge as a figure of resistance and plurality in the political field…”
