SUMMARY:"Obeying in Advance: Duterte's Election and the Onset of the Philippine Drug War"
DESCRIPTION:HAPPENING NEXT FRIDAY\, May 8\, 2026. 4:00 PM\, at the Judith R. Duavit-Vazquez and Class of 1984 Lecture Room (UPSE 105)\n\n🎓 UPSE-PCED Friday Seminar\, featuring UPSE Asst. Prof. JC Punongbayan\, Ph.D.\, whose research covers macroeconomics\, economic history\, education\, and development. He has authored two books: False Nostalgia: The Marcos “Golden Age” Myths and How to Debunk Them\, published in 2023 by Ateneo Press and Twin Plagues: How Duterte and Covid-19 Wrecked the Philippine Economy\, which will be published by Penguin Books SEA in June 2026. In 2024\, he received The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Award for Economics.\n\n🧠📚💡Abstract: I use event-level data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) to estimate the impact of Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs” on political violence in the Philippines. Constructing a balanced panel of 80 provinces observed weekly from January 2016 through June 2017\, I estimate event-study and difference-in-differences models that compare drug-war-tagged fatalities against a within-country placebo: non-drug-war political violence (battles\, explosions\, and non-drug violence against civilians).\n\nThe headline finding is that the placebo series exhibits no discontinuity around either the election or the inauguration\, while drug-war fatalities show a sharp\, immediate spike. The violence increase is therefore specific to the drug war\, rather than reflecting general conflict trends\, ACLED source-coverage changes\, or other simultaneous shocks. As a precondition for this comparison\, I show that the relevant event date is the May 9 presidential election\, not the June 30 inauguration. I discuss identification challenges\, including anticipation effects\, the endogeneity of ACLED’s tagging\, and the absence of cross-regional treatment variation.\n\n📝 Please register using the links below or by scanning the QR codes in the poster:\n📍 Onsite: https://tinyurl.com/35nbv3xf\n   Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/34v83ff3\n\n👀 We’d love to see you there!\n\nSource: UP School of Economics Facebook

SUMMARY:War\, Speed\, and Care: Korean Society through the Lens of Literature
DESCRIPTION:[SPECIAL LECTURE] War\, Speed\, and Care: Korean Society through the Lens of Literature\n\nAbstract:\nThis lecture examines how Korean literature reflects the historical and social conditions of modern Korea through three key themes: war\, speed\, and care. The Korean War has been revisited in Korean literature for decades\, and Korea’s enduring militaristic culture continues to evoke the sense of a war that has never fully ended. At the same time\, the struggle for survival has accelerated many aspects of Korean society\, producing a culture marked by speed and pervasive anxiety. These dynamics often appear in modern Korean fiction\, where characters struggle either to keep pace with shifting social expectations or to resist them.\n\nThe tempo and narrative form of these works frequently mirror the experience of social acceleration itself. Against this backdrop of violence and pressure\, contemporary Korean literature raises another question: what forms of care might allow us to imagine different ways of living together today?\n\nSpeaker:\nDr. Wookyung Jeong is a lecturer at Incheon National University and Kyung Hee University. She received her PhD in Modern Korean Literature from Seoul National University\, where her dissertation examined the literature of Ch’oe Yun and the poetics of translation. Her research interests include translation studies\, multilingual literature\, women’s writing\, and care. Recently\, she has been exploring Korean novels\, poetry\, and webtoons translated into French and English. \nREGISTRATION LINK (Zoom): https://up-edu.zoom.us/…/register/kWv0MUwLQBi2Sm7V4cxznA\nYouTube Live Link: https://www.youtube.com/live/tYfiiI3PnMQ\n\nThis online lecture is co-hosted by UP Center for International Studies\, Seoul National University Asia Center\, and UP KRC with support of the Korea Foundation-한국국제교류재단.\n\nSource: UP Korea Research Center Facebook
