Profile

[edit]

Claudio worked as an academic at Ateneo de Manila University,[1][2] and later with De La Salle University. Claudio also writes for some websites like newmandala.org.[3] Claudio authored Basagan Ng Trip, which tackles some issues of the Philippine society.[4]

In 2013, he criticized then-Senator Tito Sotto for plagiarizing Robert F. Kennedy’s “Day of Affirmation” speech in South Africa in 1966 on a privilege speech translated to Tagalog language. With Miguel Syjuco, a writer, they challenged Sotto to a debate about reproductive health law, a top issue that year, which the latter refused.[1][5] Sotto is known for being an opposition to reproductive health laws.[6]
