Résumé 0

Domestically, 2021 was a year of unprecedented economic and social crisis caused by the extension of various types of lockdown (the longest in the world) since March 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This crisis is accentuated by one of the greatest scandals of the Duterte administration: the Pharmally scandal. In preparation for the general elections which will take place on May 9, 2022 is an epic political game among the presidential and the vice-presidential candidates. Internationally, while the government is vigorously protesting China’s actions in the South China Sea, it is benefiting from China’s vaccine diplomacy. The year 2021 is also marked by a rapprochement between the Philippines and the United States especially in the context of the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Mutual Defense Agreement. This rapprochement is largely linked, again, to the vaccine diplomacy led by Washington since the fall of 2021.
