Episode 7: What makes and breaks the Office of the Vice President

The second highest office in the land is both everything and nothing that the title suggests. In the Philippines, the post’s duties are undefined by the Constitution, although vice presidents are often assigned Cabinet posts – so long as they’re close allies of the president. This episode of 36 Years features Part 2 of our conversation with historian and columnist Manolo Quezon. We talk about the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and how it’s changed through the years – from the pre-EDSA times to the office under Vice President Sara Duterte today.
