I was born and raised in the Philippines, and I’d be hesitant to assume that the nepo baby backlash is novel, new, or particularly revolutionary. There’s been plenty of widespread outrage in the past over corruption scandals (I can think of two in the last year) but unfortunately none have ever led to real material change ://
Anyways, it’s nice to see you spotlight Southeast Asia Kyle. God knows it never gets any attention on Substack!
this is GREAT context: thank you patrick!!!! if anything...it does seem to have had a breakout (in tandem with indonesia, et al) that is of-a-kind so hopefully that does enable wider attention and change. (shoutout to you Maria Ressa!!!!!!)
