Political leadership has been always controversial in the P hilippines and the rest of the world. Various economic policy and instituti onal reforms have been implemented in the past three decades in the Philipp ines. However, the process of alleviating poverty and reducing social inequ ality has been excruciatingly slow. More, because the restoration of electo ral democracy in 1987 has yet to translate into improved quality of life fo r the majority, it has opened the door for a resurgence of strongman rule e ven as concerns for\nthe deteriorating rule of law have grown. COVID-19 is uncovering deep cleavages of the society. The President Duterte has a uniqu e leadership style and political agenda. With respect to economic policy, h e emphasizes the ambitious infrastructural development plan “Build, Build, Build” as his economic strategy. His administration has also launched an am bitious industrial policy. In this panel, the issues of Dutertenomics will be examined from historical and comparative perspectives. How has President Duterte changed economic policy and governance? How has COVID-19 influence d economic policy and governance? What are lessons from Dutertenomics for t he rest of Southeast Asian countries in the processes of developing economi es and democratic governance?
