What has the current administration done in their first six months in office? CNN Philippines leads the discussion with its January installment of Town Hall.
CNN Philippines has gathered key representatives from the Duterte cabinet to discuss matters and answer questions on issues that matter most to Filipinos: Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Rodolfo Salalima, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary John Castriciones, AFP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla, Deputy Chief Traffic Enforcer of the Interagency Council on Traffic Manuel Gonzales, and Department of Transportation Spokesperson Cherie Mercado.
On the other side of the conversation are students from Far Eastern University and a panel composed of CNN Philippines correspondents David Santos, Ina Andolong, JC Gotinga and CNN Philippines contributor Nicole Curato. Questions will also be asked by CNN International correspondents Andrew Stevens, Kristie Lu Stout and Ivan Watson.
Viewers would also be given a chance to join the discussion digitally, where they are free to post their answers to the question: “Six months into the Duterte administration, what do you want to ask about the government’s priority programs on the war on drugs, internet connectivity, transportation, peace and order, and security?” All responses will be aggregated online with the hashtag #CNNPHAsks.
This episode of Town Hall will be live on Facebook (facebook.com/cnnphilippines) and via live streaming at cnnphilippines.com on Thursday, January 19, 3 p.m. The show will air on CNN Philippines Free TV Channel 9 on January 21, 9 p.m. and January 23, 12:30pm.
