| description | The Philippines suffers not only from the pandemic but from underlying political and economic conditions that threaten human security. The Duterte administration consolidated institutional power and created a cobweb of political networks across the country to ensure his legacy. The healthcare system needs to be resuscitated to deal with the pandemic. The economy relies on remittances and business process outsourcing which are not the best foundations for sustained and equitable development. In foreign policy, the Philippines simply traded one dependence for another, and has not realized substantial gains from its China policy. The Anti-Terror Law is just one more example of the country’s descent into dictatorship. The newly-autonomous region in Mindanao has had an inauspicious start, while the citizens of Marawi continue to hurt. #OustDuterteNow has been trending despite Duterte’s high approval ratings. One can only conclude that human security is not, and will not be, a priority of the current administration. |

Filipinas no sólo sufre por la pandemia, sino por las condiciones políticas y económicas subyacentes que amenazan la seguridad humana. La administración de Duterte consolidó su poder institucional y creó una telaraña de redes políticas en todo el país para asegurar su liderazgo. Es necesario resucitar el sistema de salud para lidiar con la pandemia. La economía depende de remesas y de la tercerización de procesos de negocio, que no son las mejores bases para el desarrollo sostenido y equitativo. En términos de política exterior, Filipinas simplemente cambió una dependencia por otra y no ha obtenido grandes ganancias de su política relativa a China. La Ley Antiterrorista es sólo un ejemplo más del descenso del país a la dictadura. La región de Mindanao, que acaba de adquirir su autonomía, tuvo un comienzo desfavorable, mientras que la herida sigue viva entre los ciudadanos de Marawi. El hashtag #OustDuterteNow [DerrocarADuterteAhora] ha sido tendencia a pesar de los altos índices de aprobación del presidente. Sólo puede concluirse que la seguridad humana no es, ni será, una prioridad para la actual administración.
