Great Decisions: Philippines and the U.S.

Description

The Philippines has had a special relationship with the United States since the islands were ceded by Spain to the United States after the Spanish-American War at the end of the 19th century.  However, since the election of Rodrigo Duterte, the country has pivoted more toward China, and away from the U.S. Duterte has also launched a largescale war on drugs that many criticize for its brutality. What does the future hold for U.S, relations with the Philippines?

Come join the group! We will be viewing the DVD from the FPA.ORG. We will watch the presentation online, followed by a discussion period.
