HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Philippines Senator, Antonio "Sonny" Trillanes. When it comes to populist politics delivered with robust action no-one does it quite like Rodrigo Duterte, elected President of the Philippines a year ago.

Is President Duterte taking the Philippines and the region in a new direction? Show less
