[PODCAST] Seat of Power: Jess Dureza on how Duterte leads the Cabinet

Five years as the country’s most powerful man should change you, right?

The Cabinet is a group of the President’s most trusted men and women, put in charge of all aspects of governing the country – from transportation management, to the national budget, to defense and security.

Duterte meets with his Cabinet every month, and it’s through them that he implements his policies.
