MANILA, Philippines – December marks the end of a roller-coaster year full of controversies and incidents in the Philippines.
Among others, the year 2018 marks President Rodrigo Duterte’s second year in office, the year when a Supreme Court chief justice was ousted, another opposition senator was arrested, the wife of the late dictator was convicted of plunder (but still remains free), and an alleged corrupt politician was acquitted by the anti-graft court.
It is also the year when martial law in Mindanao was extended, press freedom continued to be threatened, and democratic institutions continued to be attacked.
