Three years ago I covered the death of 17-yr-old Kian Delos Santos, the most prominent extrajudicial killing of the Philippine drug war. You can see the impact it had on his family / community in this short video

Today marks the seven year anniversary of the 2016 ruling in the Permanent Court of Arbitration that Beijing's claim to almost the entire South China Sea is groundless. Our 2021 film on the 🇵🇭 🇨🇳 battle for Scarborough Shoal remains a relevant watch: youtu.be/AghqhExbwnQ

“When Kian died I promised him that i will continue his dream to graduate in college. I have fullfilled that promise.” -Krizzhia Delos Santos-Rosero, sister of 17-year-old Kian Loyd Delos Santos who was killed by police in Caloocan City, on August 16, 2017.

“…a disco musical about a brutal dictator’s wife? …Some say the show glazes over too many details & makes Imelda a little too sympathetic. But he insists that’s the point. The 🇵🇭 people were betrayed by their leaders & he wants us to feel that betrayal” on.ft.com/3QD7E4a

Quincy Jones is the nicest man I’ve ever interviewed. After the recording, he asked me to sit down and chat some more! We discussed working with Michael Caine, Paul McCartney... but, surprisingly, he kept asking about my life—my ethnic mix, my ‘gumbo.’ Lovely man. Rest in Jazz 🎺
