Manuel Mogato is Reuters’ political and general news correspondent in Manila for almost 15 years but he has been a journalist based in the Philippines for more than three decades, covering major political and security events in the country’s history, from the downfall of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a near bloodless “People Power” uprising in 1986 to the ouster of the another leader, Joseph Estrada in 2001, to the meteoric rise of maverick southern mayor Rodrigo Duterte as president.

He has covered conflicts in one of Southeast Asia’s longest running Maoist and Muslim secessionist rebellions to the rise of small pro-Islamic State militants who occupied the southern city of Marawi for five months until October 2017.

Mogato has also covered disasters and humanitarian crises from the destructive 1990 earthquake, the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption to super typhoon Haiyan in 2013 and regional pandemics, like the Avian flu outbreak and SARS in the early 2000.

He also reported on international diplomacy during the APEC and ASEAN Summits in various capitals in Southeast Asia as well as the nagging issue South China Sea.
