Summary

Let the games begin! With the presidential elections looming, election fever is starting to heat up. A bevy of candidates have thrown their proverbial hats into the ring of what are probably the most consequential elections in the history of the Philippines, with the future of the country literally hanging in the balance. Do we choose democracy, decency and competence, or do we restore a dynasty - not to mention entrench an administration - with a reputation for corruption and a dubious record for human rights? Our guest flippers, noted columnist and political commentator Manuel “Manolo" Quezon III, himself the grandson and namesake of the first president of the Philippine Commonwealth, and former National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) secretary economist, academic, columnist and radio host Solita “Winnie” Monsod, talk trolls and polls, and caution against underestimating the intelligence of the Filipino voter.
