Another one of my papers now on round 3 of revisions. As exhausting as the back-and-forth can be, I’m in awe of reviewers who have the patience to do this many times, esp. since it's unpaid labor. This is exactly the level of thoroughness I aspire to bring to my own peer reviews.

NEW 🇵🇭 Rodrigo Duterte can no longer perform the strongman persona that generated his appeal, yet the political loyalty towards him has only intensified. John Lee Candelaria on the "debt of honour" many Filipinos feel they owe their former president: newmandala.org/moral-economy…
Was at the airport when Duterte was arrested last year, but missed the actual event! Sayang. Serendipitously, Fernan & I just published our paper on what that arrest activated among Filipinos online, right before the anniversary. DM us for a copy!
One year ago today we were watching Duterte's ICC arrest unfold and felt compelled to capture everything in real time. The rage, the rallies, the sense that something irreversible had just happened. That week of data became this article, out today. @leecandelaria

Our final episode for the year! 24 episodes in and we’re not yet done. This was such a fun season to do and I can easily see this extend to at least 50 episodes. So, see you next year when we come back for the rest of @podkas_ #BagayBagay!
🚨 FINAL EP FOR 2025 🚨
We end this year with the ultimate Filipino staple! How can rice serve as a lens for understanding Filipino identity, resilience, and the delicate balance between tradition and survival? Find out more! Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/16g…
New chapter out! This took a while. Back in 2021, I interviewed fellow temporary migrants in Japan about their experiences during the pandemic, hoping to make sense of being "stuck" while watching events unfold in both our home and host countries.

New episode! We talk about the history and relevance of the Boxer Codex, quite literally the most vivid illustration of 16th century Philippines. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/1HQ…
Lahat ba part-Spanish? Haha listen up!
Why do so many Filipinos have Spanish surnames? Hint: It’s not DNA. An 1849 decree imposed apellidos that systematically renamed millions. We unpack the history and its lasting impact in our new episode. Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/1d1…
