ms. sandra, he start, you can use one. what a one sentence, your choice airship. dictators up to at least. oh oh yeah. i was, i follow that children because you have thus the son of well, ferdinand marcus, and then the, the son of i off with somebody in an adopted son of sorts of a celebrity. ah, with a mayor of manila also so many children and the mother. oh my goodness, an egg wrap up. i asked your thoughts about what this collection of presidential candidates look like so far? well for a fact it's still incomplete because we are on a dramatic tail end of the filing of candidacy and everyone is waiting. if the daughter fred hadn't been there, they will run for president. me. your sire that there sort of as one more dollar to go further in the philippines, if you wanted to decay yourself to revisit it, you have one more day to do that. but tell us about this process this week. it's 8 days, 7 days. when you have to declare leanne, can you talk us with a little bit? it has been certainly a very dramatic last 7 days for the philippines. a well the, the 1st candidates, the declared themselves how senate their money back. ya, for example, in the mayor of the capital mary school moreno have already declared a but dramatic moments game. when the son of the dictate, they're afraid an unborn will mark us declared his bid for the presidency. and then 2 days later, his arch rival, the vice president and leader of opposition. lenny that obeyed the also declared. so it's been kind of a tense one week for the whole filipino nation and everyone is waiting for me or sire, who has all i seen nodding, articulate a lot. yeah, well, as i was saying, because it seems like they're love children who are trying to become president, paid on it because they're trying to brook to, to sort of protect the legacy of their, their, their parents and, and each of them are trying to project themselves us us, us, us as somebody credible enough ah. 4 and we don't know whether we're, you know, i mean it's really, it's been a rather exciting set of eyes. i feel the excitement is coming off the screen watching you up to her feet. i'll sit, i can, is on twitter right now. let me share this with you lasandra. i am an absentee photo. as pop, filipino, a selection will be the most controversial since 2016. i will make sure that my phone will be counted. your sandra thoughts? yes, yes. you know, i my 1st time absent the rotor as well, i just moved to the united states last year. and i think that this election is the most important election we've had in at least 20 years because it is effectively a referendum on mass murder. because that is the policy of that at their demonstration. it's murdered all sorts of people in its brutal war against drugs. and so if a do therapy is elected, in other words, it, sorry that there it is addicted. it, it's the philippine people effectively saying that they don't mind a legacy of mass murder. and if they elect for it and embargo stuner, it's also the filipino people saying they don't mind a legacy of human rights violations and theft and corruption. so part of this election is 3 about the future of liberal democracy in the philippines. it's also about the future of my profession, esa phillip as a historian of the philippines because embark was campaign essentially an attempt to whitewash history. so this, yeah, yeah. what i, i was just going to say, but i think most filipinos actually don't even think along the lines of human rights. be there to think about 3 things. bradshaw thought about. he thought, which means bratcher sprites, us, but abolish jobs, keep ice income. so for them, i think human rights killings, i mean a bill matter as much. maybe mothers to some people, but not to a lot of people and for it. yeah. yeah. i think and, and i think precisely, that's the problem. if they don't think that human rights are game changer, that there's something wrong with democracy in the philippines. so this at least this, this, this week, this excitement that's happening in the philippines right now. as a politics. it's not just from the politicians. it's also from the photos who are registering. can you talk to me about registration and how the registration has been? extend it right. where from where we see it there, there have been long lions in law. the. the commission on the elections has had the open satellite sites in laws just to accommodate the long lines of voters who want to vote. and i can see a lot the 1st time voters there. they have not distinct 18, but it will be their 1st time to vote because for them we have just gone through the so called dark ages. so we have been around with one of the worst countries to be in the pandemic. so people are really both in for their lives, as i can said, a while ago in your intro will call a pass. yeah. dec. i had to say, i just wanted to say that it should be emphasized that within i stand, where the worst get country and yet are by them. big response on a per g, b on, on a per capita level, i think has been one of one of the lowest. so there's a criminal level spending even amidst high credit ratings. the government refused to spend as much as it should uncovered relief at the end and just daddy and i was just wanting to share that personal story of if you lining up to register to vote. would you mind that? yeah, right. so i didn't have the line up to read to sort of, but i wanted to transfer my voter records because i hail from a province and i wanted to transfer here in the car. but also i did experienced the long lines. i have had to go back for 3 days before a half. i can successfully transfer my voting records and that's one of a mark on the woods scenario. cuz i know people who would line up for hours just to have their desk. do you have to start to vote, but i can get the sense of willingness to a to break dissipate in the civic exercise. it's very palpable when you go out, especially with the delta. very it so up michael henry using co spoke to us. hey, on the street just a few hours ago. and he talked about that importance of voter registration and how important the voters are in this upcoming election. have a nice and have a look. the freebies has a very electorate. high voter registration can mean more young food pintos will be showing up in the pools. this is precisely the reason why ascending the registration period is very significant. a high voter turnout in the paper due to elections, can usher in a sight. he changes the philippine democracy. so you have been mentioning various different candidates. i wanted to take a look at 6 of the candidates. guess i'm going to get you to do a line each for each of the candidates on youtube, for instance, an extra says a, b, b m will be our next president. aha, ever and i have no idea if you're right or not, but we are going to get our guest to take us through one by one these candidates and just just a single line to help us understand who's who let me start. sarah, detect a and it's, it's hard to describe her in one line, but continuation of the therapy. government, then land. marcus, you also do the finance nat, son of dictate there is a continuation of the dictatorship has that is your turn now in many or bribe b. the antithesis of the 3rd. the figure of the opposition is this person is no introduction. i given you the the one manny patio. most successful filipino acid. sorry. it started. yeah. everybody knows somebody lucky. all the boxing legend. and of course he's a senator of the police. he's been assigned to since i believe 2016. correct. right . all right, at lasandra, i know you couldn't wait to get started. you've got is go ahead. the mayor of manila with reputation for efficiency and pan philo locsin. that's yours as well as andre. a former cup rodney himself as do bear the light. mm. so these are the main contenders nissan don't do you feel that we may still see some surprises? ah, the biggest surprise we're looking at is this leanne said, i'm sorry the dirt there. whether or not she is actually going to run for president because i as of now, she's actually father can see to run again for a mere devil. so that can still change. i think, ian correct me if i'm wrong, she can still change up until early november, but we're not sure what has are it's going to do. yeah, mid november, right. i think her father wants her to run alongside his aid and core don sided there, on bongo who would sense it would be the vice president. but this is not something that started there. sorry, did there the comp seems to be very open to as i go ahead. yeah, well it seems, well, a publicly, at least that's what she says about whether or not that's true. it's another thing altogether. so everybody's, you know, just guessing whether or not just going to run and change and change all of a sudden she looked and she did suggest that she's just going to have a campaign for a re election for us mayor of novel. but we don't know if anybody will game yet. it's the continuation of drama started by her father all the same 2015 because it's a peculiar process in our election that bekins did a substitute by start of the member. and this is precisely what president the 3rd the did in 2015. so people who have had to here then use that. she had filed her candidacy for me or not buying it currently. me and i have been gloomy. i don't know anything. then how could anything can happen? we were all sitting on the edge of our seats here, a lee and i, i being fully the live updates the finding a certificate, a candidacy for 2020 philippines elections. october the 1st to 8th, 2021. it sounds boring. but it's anything bought because in that last little bit of a timeline, we had to fully specify lenny ra brita, who at decay at seemingly at the very last minute. let's have a listen to how she made that announcement. law by not all. we need to liberate ourselves from the current situation. i will fight. we will fight. i am offering myself as candidate for president during the elections in 2022. i love them when the, when nice of on the long banner, they had the money machinery, an entire structure that can spread any story they want to project. but no amount of noise can bury that leak. i am a boon and vice president is a different party from the president and the vice president candace's, kind of see as president, is going the opposite direction from the way that present detecting link. jose, can you explain, trust cosca, schism in philippines, politics? well, you know, i mean are we are, we are moved, we have a multi my be system in the philippines. but in puberty that, that's only in theory because in practice, what happens is that whoever wins the presidency that creates a political party. and then there is the opposition, you know, so that's, it really becomes a 2 part assist them in practice. so right now the vice president is considered be opposition. but, ah, you know, there are also other people within the different parties who can claim to be somewhat of petition or, you know, or somewhere in between. so, and, and, and perhaps that's, that's the attraction also of filipinos to do or to all of these candidates. because sometimes you don't want either of extremes, you know, you don't want the. busy one or one group or the other. that's why the a neutral party, like the mayor of manila, may be more attractive to most people. and emma, and as i was looking at the numbers, based from the last survey conducted by one of the big, the well known i bolsters, it seems like the mayor of manila may actually have a shock there after the 3 of them will probably be. well, if i'm not saying that the vice president will not win, but it seems from the data that i'm reading, that the main fight will be between money back yo bobbo, marco's the son of the former dictator. that the late dictator and the mayor of manila is co moreno. let's have a look to see what's happening on youtube because you've got some really interesting pundits happening here. andrew ryan wants to know will that be debates between the candidates, lia? yes, there certainly there will be debates between the candidates. we just don't know how they're going to be conducted, considering the pandemic. but we do hope that we will have us a hot debate as possible as we had in the last national elections. ryan is saying i support lenny roberto, she has proven her metal in the pandemic response. they sandra reaction. yeah, yeah. i don't think we should conduct the vice president biggest. remember this time before the 2016 election to 3rd. that was not a contender. so that you can elections are always full of surprises. and vice president roberto just launched her campaign last night or yesterday morning. and things can change overnight in the philippines, especially since you start to re brand herself in a way that makes her look like a middle candidate make. she's not beholden to this administration, but she's also not beholden to the liberal party, which was over in the philippines. you know, 6 years ago prior to tear gas. let's just didn't just yeah, just bear with our what's nice about this is now when, when, when, when she came out yesterday, what she re branded herself a different color. because you are additionally, the opposition now has been always considered yellow. and by a yellow ribbon, you know that that's the reference, it's about the aquinos. but unfortunately, that's also had the backlash on her and, and that's why she started to rebrand or recall or so speak. and it's quite interesting because, you know, even on my facebook wall, i could see so, so many people changing colors and showing the barrier think when, of course, rather that's going to translate into volts is another thing i, let's talk about say, oh, legally. and you guys and another movie on the issues that right just to add on vice president of better the reason why she declared too late with we she was trying so hard to unify the opposition. she didn't want a 5 way fight. oh, for her, the goal is clear, the not have a president the 3rd day or the not have a president mark last night. so i think beyond the filing of candidacy, there will still be ducks with senator bucky, our mayor, a score possibly convinced them to be her v p or whatever combination that would give the opposition and much higher chance of winning to defeat that the ferry, the or a marcus for the elections. i want to bring in a new voice into our conversation at sin c, guido we asked at, sent a little bit early on. what are that big issues people will be voting on? and this is what he told us. the colby's been them, it should definitely be the main point of discussion in the future in storing the election. so the community quacking has been in place since march last year, and yet the number of cases remains to be high in the repercussions have been economically and socially damaging. in 2020, the philippines not only had the worst economic contraction, it's also our history, but also the worse, a more major south asian economies. so what should we do? well, should go back to the basics of testing the reason in isolation. we also need to run our batt to roll out, which is actually slowed down in recent weeks. so i just want to show you audience watching it. and this, this, this image chance from bloomberg. it's the shift in the cove at resilience ranking . an island is at the top and that machine, the country at the bottom. the philippine guilty, of course, has horse. yeah. well, you know, everybody, all analysts academics, it always say that, that this, the pandemic is, it should, is an issue and should be an issue. but whether or not that is in the psyche of filipinos, i don't think so. unfortunately, i've been reading for you, let me know so much. and even now, when all that, when you, when, when push comes to shove, we tend to be very hopeful. and most of us tend to think, oh, you know, this one that make, it's not a problem until of course, something happens within our families with among our friends. but generally with dental downplayed pandemic. and i think it still is bradshaw and about keith bryce's, income and jobs that will matter most the filipinos, although those things are related to the pandemic, because the reason why there are no jobs. and the reason why people are not making money is because of these for you are the shut downs. and then one of the reasons why we're also having an economic crisis that people feel is because the government has under spent. so we, we are under a real brutal regime office there in the philippines. i mean, comparatively, people are not worrying about inflation elsewhere. people are not worrying about that. they just want to spend, right? this is the new kind of macroeconomic paradigm initiated by the pandemic. but the philippines, this stock in the 1990 s, it's source here. it doesn't want to compromise. it's great rating was to save it 40 the day. but if this isn't the rainy day, i don't know what is he and i wasn't whistling avenue, nancy ronald holmes. excuse me, at, he's the president of post age of research and it's he sort of balances out the hopes of the electorate and the fears if we had that could be and we haven't listened to ronald and then and me to respond with the back of this filarious people controlling the increasing by just a brief commodity. increasing that we are workers, the commission, more jobs, and those are the most important. urgent concerns me on this, you turn it, we'll see some issues with the administration side and protecting the integrity in pricing. got good option and the been in for training. it's something a more than this issue. so you know, i think i need to in their sense whether i'm feeling pretty good. i mean, oh, i see well, he did mention corruption and i was going to say that part of the got issue of jobs prices and income would be corruption. because right now, our senate is investigation is investigating major corruption issues in the book in the procurement of our pandemic supplies involving tiny suppliers and president that there it is, former economic advisor. so if we're talking about got election issues, yes, jobs will be dobson price. we'll beat up most, but i think filipinos will also be carrying about corruption issues as well. the center, if you could sum up your mood right now, just looking at the candidates that we know are running. who knows what's going to happen between now and saturday, the weekend for the philippines. so that's exciting. how would you sum up your mood watching from afar? i am extremely nervous because the stakes are high and the results of this election could be disastrous because it could spell a big, big, big dent on could have been liberal democracy, which is not something we need at this point. as i meant. yeah, i fully agree that they do that most of us would think that the stakes are just too high, you know, other unfortunately, again, sometimes because we are taught us the wrong homes, i said, suggested filipinos tend to be very optimistic about things. and that's probably both a strength and a weakness on one hand up to helps us cope. but on the other hand, that also makes us then to think of, you know, entertainment of our way of coping. you know, and perhaps the elections are also part of our entertainment. and me and finally, yes, same. i agree. i am really extremely nervous of for the upcoming elections. and speaking as a journalist, whoever wins will have a significant effect on how our breast freedom will be, will abs, he been, the largest network be reopened, that will my company shut down for a good. we don't know. so again, it makes me extremely nervous. almost thing i need to do. i'm going to show you asked i so my laptop the stream get a little survey of its own. an unofficial cow. who do you think will succeed? rodrigo detached a as philippines present in 2022 at the bottom. esco moreno, the mayor of manila at next. we have at 12.3 percent. any were brideau the current v p as sarah to as a, as an even to grad. she's running that daughter of uh the present eternity. and then 56 percent it's, it's a knockout for manny becky. how, sandra, you're also laughing. are you surprised? i'm not surprised. i've been gone international viewership with just as soon as you always. ready it's so power, it still pops out with a beat. everybody else in the philippine politics, but the reality is we are, we're at the moment the plethora are in the style j doug could be more powerful than fuck out which is scary. thank you. guess i really appreciate you analyses that was lasandra or say thank you to jose and jose to leanne as well. and to you for your questions. i appreciate you very much. i see you next time. will the street take everybody?
