The CCP's assertiveness in the South China sea poses threats across all of South East Asia, but the Philippines is subject to extensive security threats. With no compromise or help in sight, what challenges does the Philippino political elite face to turn the tides in their favour? While it appears that Washington has all but forgotten the Philippines, how can regional players approach this regime in Manila? To answer some of these questions and provide insight from the ground, John and David speak with Dr. Chester Cabalza of the International Development & Security Cooperation (IDSC).



This Podcast is Produced by Tim Whiffen of Whimsy Productions for John Bruni, Director of SAGE International Australia.
