The parent company of Cambridge Analytica helped put Philippines’ leader Rodrigo Duterte into office after influencing voters in dozens of campaigns across the globe, according to media reports and information pulled from the firm’s website. Strategic Communications Laboratories, or SCL Group, which owns the political consultancy at the center of a Facebook data harvesting scandal linked to the 2016 US presidential race, boasted on its website that it helped get Duterte elected in 2016 by rebranding him as a tough crime fighter. SCL said it came to Indonesia in 1998, shortly after the overthrow of dictator Suharto at the behest of “pro-democratic groups” to “assist with a national campaign of political reform and democratization”.
