Jul.28 — Richard Heydarian, political scientist and author of “The Rise of Duterte: A Populist Revolt against Elite Democracy,” talks about the Philippine president’s policies. Rodrigo Duterte pushed for corporate tax cuts and targeted support for pandemic-hit industries as part of a recovery plan. He defended the shutdown of ABS-CBN Corp., saying it was a powerful tool in the hands of its owners, the Lopez family. He also renewed his opposition to business elites owning public utilities. Heydarian speaks on “Bloomberg Markets: Asia.”
