Gideon Lasco occupies a unique space as a millennial intellectual, influencing wide audiences with newspaper columns and tweets informed by his deep academic research. His decade-long study of drug policy made him a credible critic of the Duterte drug war, and led him and a colleague to coin a term, medical populism, that became known around the world to describe leaders who use public health crises such as drug addiction and the pandemic to justify punitive, often violent responses. 

Dr. Lasco has diverse interests and writes well-researched, insightful essays on everyday trends, such as the pandemic plant craze, global coffee culture, and the changing image of "askals."

He’s written an award-winning book, “The Philippines is not a Small Country,” that explains to an emerging generation what being Filipino could mean in a globalized world. 

In a wide-ranging conversation with Howie Severino, Lasco also offers tips on time management and what you can do to achieve more every day.
