Michael Palin in the Philippines
Overview
Michael Palin’s latest adventure takes him into the heart of one of the most fascinating, politically-charged and historically complicated areas on earth - the Philippines. A place still dominated by the legacy of the Marcos family and its most infamous husband and wife couple Ferdinand and Imelda, whose 21-year rule from 1965-86 ended with an alleged $10 billion theft from the nation’s coffers, as their extravagant regime was exposed.

Manila and the South China Sea
Palin arrives in the capital and finds a country in an odd political moment, with Bongbong Marcos as President despite his family's exile 40 years ago, and former president Duterte under arrest at the ICC accused over the deaths of 30,000 Filipinos. He then flies to the militarised island of Pagasa in the contested South China Sea, where he ends up in the middle of a standoff between Philippine and Chinese coastguard ships.
