| Abstract | This study investigates from a Filipino perspective the extrajudicial killings (EJKs) and human rights during former President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and political discourse analysis (PDA) with a discourse-historical approach (DHA). It identifies Facebook as a space of discourse in which the articulations of four political actors showed a preference for socio-economic progress and community safety over individual political and civil rights. This Filipino worldview emphasizes cultural specificity, national sovereignty and an insistence on self-governance, illustrating resistance to the Western world’s human rights practices and concepts. Thus, given the findings, this study argues for a nuanced approach of “culturally attuned rights and empowerment” to address EJKs, which respect the standards of international human rights and the local context that recognizes historical and cultural factors. Accordingly, this paper contributes to the study of CDA in the Asian context, particularly the discourse historical approach, wherein the historical dimension allows for explorations of how past discourses bear on contemporary political and social realities. |
