ASEAN in Practice: Episode 12 - Philippines' ASEAN Chairmanship 2026

In today’s episode, we analyse the Philippines’ ASEAN Chairmanship in 2026, with a focus on the geopolitical and economic uncertainties it must navigate. To help us unpack all these issues, we are delighted to have with us Mr Victor Andres Manhit. He is the President and CEO of the Stratbase Group, a leading Philippines public policy think tank focused on governance reform, economic strategy, national security, and geopolitical risk. He is also the Philippines country head of BowerAsia, where he advises multinational corporations and investors on geopolitical and regulatory developments across Southeast Asia. The “ASEAN in Practice” podcast aims to invite practitioners from around the region that have spent many years working on ASEAN issues and policies. Through this podcast series, we hope to gain some valuable insights from their experiences that will contribute towards the policy-making level in the form of policy papers and future research on ASEAN.
