MANILA, Philippines – The year 2024 was nothing short of a political whirlwind for the Philippines marked by power struggles, shifting alliances, and high-stakes maneuvering at the very top.
At the center of all the political chaos was the dramatic unraveling of the UniTeam of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte. What began as a partnership forged in political convenience and mutual benefit has now turned into a saga of explicit threats and mounting tensions involving different government institutions and officials.
On Thursday, December 12, Rappler investigative editor Chay Hofileña sits down with executive editor Glenda Gloria, managing editor Miriam Grace Go, and editor-at-large Marites Vitug to discuss the events that happened in 2024 and how the political chaos will affect 2025.
What will the future of Philippine democracy look like in the face of political chaos? Is the turmoil of 2024 cause for greater worry in 2025? What should Marcos prioritize in the coming year?
