THANKS ED, the book has answered some of my questions about President Duterte.
WE CANNOT TAME a lion from Davao, rather, we can only teach the surroundings to appreciate what a real lion is.
This Ciceronian work piece is scholarly articulated as a dream template: a witnessing of current events through the eyes of a poet and journalist.
THIS BOOK IS about the Filipino people, their place in history, their aspirations and regrets in the past, the challenges they face today as the rest of the world rapidly marches toward an uncertain future–not just about President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
The Storm From Davao cites the Duterte phenomenon as a case study to present to modern-day readers the natural and synthetic variables that embody a potent mix of collective pains, reasons, and doubts, opinions and actions and more that led to unleash a social storm, the very political force responsible in catapulting Duterte from virtually nowhere in 2014 to Malacañan in 2016.
It is a recommended read for various teachers and students of history, mass communication, political science, business, literature and philosophy.
The Storm From Davao is also an exhibition of the poetic Cordevilla, although this time, in prose.
