If you want a magistral example on how Great Powers' influence spans locally, look no further than the #Philippines. Glad to see this project by Aries Arugay Aletheia Kerygma B. Valenciano Edcel John A. Ibarra and Miguel Hermo being disseminated! lnkd.in/g4mxMRbq

Manila’s counter-flag unfurling means that #China “won’t be able to claim that the #Philippines has tacitly acquiesced to its displays of sovereignty over the features,” My take on the latest "battle of the flags" in Raissa Robles latest article! lnkd.in/gr74j9km

For the #Philippines and #Vietnam, #Japan is a solid partner to cultivate a fallback position with. lnkd.in/g6BgykPc

Excited to go back to Rome after many years as a member of this roundtable! Topic: The stuff I love to talk about. Haha.

The #US backs the Luzon Economic Corridor for the #Philippines pledged by Biden in 2024 Two takeaways - Alignment for development is the way for engaging key partners - The trilateral form of the agreement and #Japan's stake sustain the enterprise lnkd.in/gcYikuH9

I was absolutely delighted to present my and Prof. Aries Arugay’s book chapter on the presidential role in Philippine foreign policy at PPSA annual conference! Thank you Aleth Virge and Edcel for presenting with me! may our works be published chapters soon! 💪

I would add to this article that #Duterte misinterpreted #Philippines preferences for hedging by pivoting to #China. But if the grievance/risk ahead is the #US decline or unpredictability, Manila may hedging with other means and by engaging other actors. thediplomat.com/2025/05/how-th…

So happy for the opportunity to bridge my institution with Sapienza Università di Roma! A special thank you to Lorenzo Termine Gabriele Natalizia Aries Arugay for making it possible. Hopefully, many more to come!

Obviously it’s not an alliance in the proper sense. But the spirit of this #Philippines - #Lithuania defense pact lays on similar fears of coercion experienced by both countries. apnews.com/article/philip…

This is an amazing opportunity to have an understanding of the times we live in. The #Philippines serves as exploratory case on how the #US - #China rivalry is unfolding locally, in territories that are considered at the edge their spheres of influence. rappler.com/voices/hindi-i…

The issues faced by the #Philippines in modernizing its military are often caused by poor bureaucratic coordination. But it may also reflect the discontinuities in foreign and defense policy that Manila experiences with different administrations. iiss.org/online-analysi…

After the latest #QUAD’s foreign ministers’ meeting, the #Philippines DFA seems delighted. To me, it shows how the Philippines’ sees strategic minilaterals as tools to obtain security, in a way that diverges from all other #ASEAN states. dfa.gov.ph/dfa-news/state…

Excited to be part of this event! Making the most out of my trip to Seoul 💪✨

#US president Trump’s increases tariffs on goods to the #Philippines to 20% from the previous 17% Not as bad as for other countries but still an awful signal PH must continue reaching out to like minded partners to offset the risks of engagement with capricious great powers

#Philippines - #Japan - #US foreign ministers met few days ago riaffirming commitments taken last year. A potent evidence that the #JAPHUS trilateral is surviving two new administrations in Tokyo and Washington. dfa.gov.ph/dfa-news/dfa-r…
