13 - Sass Sasot part 2

Episode 13

Thursday, May 11, 2023 • Duration 49:05

For this season of “Catch Me If You Can,” Jonathan Ong and Kat Ventura are having conversations with people across the political aisle. In their recent study entitled Parallel Public Spheres, they diagnosed how Philippine society is so divided that it seems like we’re living in separate political universes. Can we still rebuild our public sphere, where people can have real conversations, maybe have disagreements — but at the end of the day still treat each other as fellow citizens, rather than enemies?

Sass Sasot rose to fame during the Duterte administration, becoming one of the top 3 mega-influencers supporting former President Rodrigo Duterte. Many academic papers have been written about Sass since then, critiquing her for spreading misinformation.
