The Imaging of Philippine Presidents
Overview
Documentary program covers Philippine politics in the age of mass media and how the behavior of Philippine voters is based on images they have of government and society. Because an effective image is so important, spin doctors have evolved as star players on a president's team, partly due to the influence from U.S. politics.
