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 unbound 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 upgrade the also declared, so it's been kind of a dance one week for the whole filipino nation and everyone is waiting for me or sire, who has a last seen nodding, articulate a lot. yeah, well, as i was saying, because it seems like there loves children who are trying to become president, paid on it because they're trying to broke to, to sort of protect the legacy of their, their, their parents. 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 sacrifice. 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. my sandra, 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 lasandra thoughts. yes, yes. you know i am a 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 it there that ministration is 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'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 as a phillip, as a historian of the philippines, because the mark 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. brush up on a bow, keith, which means bachelor sprites us, but abolish jobs, keep ice income. so for them i think human rights killings, i mean it, they don't matter us much. maybe it's mothers to some people but not do 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 elections has had the open satellite sites in laws just to accommodate the long lines of voters who will want to vote. and i can see a lot the 1st time voters, then 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. michael, a pass. yeah. oh, that go ahead. yeah, i just wanted to say that it should be emphasized that within us downward 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 this. yet he 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 to line up to register to with, but i wanted to transfer my voter records because i hale 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 scenario. cuz i know people who would line up for hours just to have their dis do you i just there to vote, but i can, the sense of willingness to participate in the civic exercise is very palpable when you go out, especially with a dealt a very it so up michael henry using co spoke to us, hey on this room 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 for your peace has a very your electorate high voter registration and mean the more young 3 b knows will be showing up in the pools. this is precisely the reason why extending the registration period is very significant. a high voter turnout in the paper due to elections. can usher in exciting changes, really be morrissey. so you happy mentioning various different candidates? i wanted to take a look at 6 of the candidates. guess i'm gonna 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, edwin, i have no idea if you're right or not, but we are going to get our guest to take comes 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 big data, or the continuation of the dictatorship, has that is your turn now in many or bribe b. the antithesis of the 3rd thing. the figure of the opposition is this person is no introduction. i given you the the one many patio most rec, so slow filipino acid are. sorry. it started. yeah. everybody know somebody back out of the boxing legend. and of course as a senator of the police, he's been a senator since i believe 2016. correct. right. all right, at lasandra, i know you couldn't wait to get started. you've got it. go ahead. the mayor of manila with reputation for efficiency and pen 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 mayor of darville. 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 are going to do. yeah, mid november, right. i think her father wants her to run alongside his aid and gordon sided there, on bongo who would authentic woman be the vice president. but this is not something that started there. are that 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 yeah, you know, just guessing whether or not just after to going to run and change and change all of a sudden she lot. and she did suggest that it's just going to have a campaign for a re election for us mayor of, of, of novel. but we don't know if anybody, little 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 we can still substitute by start of them then we're and this is precisely what president the 3rd to did in 2015. so people who have had to hear the news that she had filed her candidacy for me or not buying it currently. me and i have been gloomy. i don't know anything can happen. anything can happen. we were all sitting on the edge of our seats here, a li and i, i've been following the live up thanks to finding a certificates a candidacy for 2020 philippines and actions. october the 1st to 8th, 2021. it sounds boring, but it's anything bought because in not last little bit of a timeline, we have the fullest present. lenny of a breed. 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 div wendy. nice on the long bella. 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 now the vice president is a different party from the president. and the vice president can assist kind of see as president, is going the opposite direction from the way that present a testing link. jose, can you explain to ask us the schism in philippines, politics? well, you know, i mean are we are, we are more, we have a multi, mike assist them in the philippines. but in theory 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. this is them in practice. so right now the vice president is considered be opposition. but, ah, you know, there are also some other people within the different parties who can claim to be somewhat opposition 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 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 are actually 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, patio bongo marco's, the son of the former dictator. that the late the paper and the mayor of manila ah, it's come 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, the certainty 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 count on the vice president because remember this time before the 2016 election to 3rd, that was not a contender. so that could have been elections are always full of surprises. and the vice president roberto just launched her campaign last night or yesterday morning. and things can change overnight in the philippines, especially since she's trying 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 governing the philippines. you know, 6 years ago prior to tear gas, let's just ginger. yeah, yes. there are. what's nice about with this is now when, when, when, when she came out yesterday, what she rebranded herself are a different color. because you, traditionally, the opposition now has to be 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 i think. and it's quite interesting because, you know, even on my facebook. busy wall, i could see so many so many people changing colors and showing the barrier. think when, of course, rather that's going to translate into volts is another thing. let's talk about c o t weekly and again, another movie, some of the issues that right just to add on by spread it into the 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 to not have a president marcus net. so i think beyond the finding of candidacy, there will still be ducks with sanitary bucky, our mayor, a score of possibly convinced them to be her v p or whatever combination that would give the opposition and much higher chance of winning to defeat the theory the or i'm marcos 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 is during the election. so the community quantity has been in place since march last year. and yet, the number of thesis remains to be high in the repercussions have been economically and socially damaged. you in 2020, the philippines not only had the worst economic contraction, it's also our history, but also the worse, a more major southeast asia economies. so what should we do? we'll should go back to the basics of testing, raising in isolation. we also need to run our vaccine rollout, which is actually slow down in recent weeks. so i just want to show you audience watching it and this is any chance from bloomberg. it's the shift in the cove at resilience ranking and i lent is at the topic that machine the country at the bottom. the filipino face, of course, has a horse. yeah, well, you know, everybody, all analysts, your 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 feel like we know so much and even now, when all, 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 monday make, it's not a problem until, of course, something happens within our families with our friends. but generally with n bill down play the pandemic. and i think it still is a bo keep up prices, 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 shutdowns and every one of the reasons why we're also having an economic crisis that people feel is because the government has under spend. so we, we are under a real brutal regime office there in the philippines. i mean, comparatively, people are not worrying about the nation 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 stocky in the 1996 or steer, 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 want him to have been whistling. have a listen, nancy, ronald holmes, excuse me, at he's the president of post asia research and it's he sort of balances up the hopes of the electorate and the fear of one that could be and we have a listen to ronald and then and me to respond off the back of this video here, yes, people controlling the increasing by just a basic model is increasing the workers, the crucial more jobs. and those are the most important urgent concerns. beyond this human turn in political facing issues with new stations and protecting the country. so integrity in fighting, got good option and the been in for training. it's something. well, i'm glad you need to know more than this issue. so he says, you know, i think i need to and their sons is whether a c well, he did mention corruption and i was going to say that part of that 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 we for talking about got election issues. yes, jobs will be dobson. prices will 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 it, 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 that helps us cope. but on the other hand, that also makes us then to think of, you know, entertainment us 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 are breast freedom will be, will a be se 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 did a little survey of its own. an unofficial po, 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 yet. daughter over the present, eternity and then 56 percent it's. it's a knockout for manny becky. how, sandra, you're also laughing. i used surprised. i'm not surprised. i've been gone internationally . viewership would just assume that always. it's so power, it's so popular with jealousy and i beat everybody else in the philippines politics . but the reality is, we are, we are at the moment the plethora are in the style j done. could be more powerful than buck out, which is scary. thank you. guess i really appreciate you analyses that was lasandra or say thank you to jose and also to leanne as well. and to you for your questions . i appreciate you very much. i see you next time will the screen take everybody ah . with tiny hidden cameras, criminals are illegally filming, and sharing people's most intimate moments when used to investigate south for is by coming. the demick on al jazeera, october on al jazeera and brewing vaccine inequality to the political and economic impacts. the latest development as the corona virus pandemic continues to spread across the globe. democracy made an expensive new series, explores the ever growing challenges to democracy around the world. former burkina faso president, blaze come pouring goes on 5 for the assassination of his predecessor thomas banker . context india direct from them by brings inside some perspectives from the world's most populous democracy. iraqis go to the poll in an election likened to define the countries future. october on al jazeera. when ask ann filmmaker has san facility catches the taliban attention. a bounty on his head forces him to flee with his family, desperately seeking sanctuary. they journey across continent, chronicling their multi year saga on their phones. midnight traveller, an odyssey of hope resilience and ultimately one family's love for each other. witness on al jazeera at night in stockholm suburb somali mums patrol the streets bully ski and low, low to high dollar customers. to me, i'm tired of gang violence. they use a maternal approach to prevent time new school named nevada did the had a do warehouse, but a big blue button in the stories. we don't often hear told by the people who lived on mothers of ring to be this is europe on al jazeera. ah, ah, all right, when packing you now lie to all lower at any moment, we're expecting the nobel peace prize committee to announce the prize for 2021 of your orders here. apparently, here they are. let's listening to the announcement for who is the winner of this year's nobel peace prize. good.
