Artists and musicians have always reflected history. They struggle to capture the spirit of the times. Their images and words chronicle not so much the events, but the things harder to define in the air. In this episode of Tokhang sa Tokhang, we listen to the music and the artists who for the past four years have been processing -- and debating -- their and our own thoughts about the War on Drugs. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3: Rap Battle

We are taking stock of the war on drugs in the Philippines. We talk to families, community workers, researchers, artists, church leaders, and government officials to do our own "katok" (knocking) and "hangyo" (inquiring). But beyond the bloody campaign under President Rodrigo Duterte, beyond calling for justice and accountability, we expand the conversation to include a broader look at drugs, our assumptions about the people who use them, and the roles they play in our culture, society, and our everyday lives.&nbsp; "Tokhang sa Tokhang," as we would say. "Tao po, kumusta ang Tokhang?" Tokhang sa Tokhang is a PumaPodcast production. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
