BOOK REVIEW: AUTHORITARIAN DISASTER: The Duterte Regime and the Prospects for a Marcos PresidencyContributors: Karlo Mikhail Mongaya, Patrick Torres, Ma. Diosa Labiste, Jose Monfred Sy, Marie Rose Arong, Jerry Imbong, Carlton “Cobbie” Palm, Phoebe Zoe Maria Sanchez and Regletto Aldrich ImbongCEBU CITY —“Rodrigo Duterte is perhaps the most contentious while widely studied president of the country’s postwar political landscape,” thus wrote Regletto Imbong in his Introduction of this book.
There are eight essays included in this anthology, apart from Imbong’s Introduction and an Afterword written by Phoebe Zoe Maria Sanchez. The authors are mainly philosophy professors of the Visayas State University, Silliman University, University of the Philippines-Cebu and UP Diliman. They included the following with the titles of their respective essays: Karlo Mikhail Mongaya , Patrick Torres , Ma.
As the essays were written at the tail-end of the Duterte regime and the return of another Marcos administration was imminent, a few of the essays also dealt with the prospects of a second Marcos government. Clearly, the authors shared a common perspective on how they viewed the legacy of the Duterte administration. Unlike other books which have placed Duterte on a pedestal, this US-based publication provides a profile of a fascist President ensconced in a populist mode of governance.
