Stephen Sackur speaks to Philippines Senator, Antonio “Sonny”
Trillanes. When it comes to populist politics delivered with
robust action no-one does it quite like Rodrigo Duterte, elected
President of the Philippines a year ago. Since he came to power,
around 7000 people have been killed in his war on drugs crime.
Human rights groups are aghast, but a majority of Filipinos seem
to admire his iron fist policy. Is President Duterte taking the
Philippines and the region in a new direction?
