API Podcast Ep3: Corruption's impact on Philippine defense

How is the corruption and misappropriation of government budget affecting Philippine defense? 

In the third episode of API Podcast, we meet again with our resident columnists veteran journalist Rodney Jaleco and security expert Ret. Col Dencio Acop to discuss the impact of corruption and the complicity of some military officers on Philippine external security. 

We also explore how China benefits from the Philippines’ lingering domestic issues, and what is America’s next steps to securing its position in the Asia-Pacific region.
