Episode 2  As the Philippines remembers Marcos and martial law this month of September , filipinos continue to chastise Marcos while others defend and celebrate his regime. This historical debate has focused on the contrasting facts and narratives on this contentious period.  The hosts of P*I* move beyond the facts and asks the questions underlying the dead-end debate: Why do many Filipinos remain fascinated with strong leaders and dictators and unsatisfied with democracy? Can Dictatorship be a viable option for the Philippines? How do we move forward as a nation while recognizing this tendency to support authoritarian system?

This month, we are taking a short break from our interview episodes and will resume with more thought-provoking guests next month. In the meantime, this episode is released on "Araw ng Kagitingan" or Day of Valor, and the premiere of GOMBURZA on Netflix. Despite this national holiday, there seems to a a kind of fatigue and cynicism surrounding nationalism these days. Here, I relate Randy David's discussion on political despair with the need to continue the civic excitement ignited by GOMBURZA.
