you start, you can use one word or one sentence, your choice pairs of dictators up to at least, oh, oh, yeah i was, i follow that children because you have thus the son of ferdinand marcus. and then the, the son of i of was somebody in an adopted, son of sorts of a celebrity. was the 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're on a dramatic tail end of the filing of candidacy and everyone is waiting. if the daughter fred had been that they are, they will run for president may years hired that there sort of as one more day to go further in the philippines. if you wanted to declare yourself to be president, 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 kindly and 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 of sanitary money back yell, 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 and, and won't, will. marcus 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 dance one week for the whole filipino nation and everyone is waiting for me or sire, who has i seen notting? articulate a lot. yeah, well, as i was saying, because it seems like there 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 each of them are trying to project themselves us us as us i 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 counting cassandra thoughts. yes, yes. you know, i am a 1st time on said 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 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, 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 fat and corruption. so part of this election is 3 about the future of liberal democracy in the philippines. it's also about the future by profession as a fee, as a historian of the philippines, because the mark was campaign, essentially an attempt to whitewash history. so this, yeah, yes 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 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 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 a ken said a while ago in your intro will call 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 that make response on a per g d, b on a 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 on co bid relief. and just yet he and i was just wanting to share that personal story of if you lining up to register to vote. would you mind go ahead? yeah, right. so i didn't have to line up to register to have, 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 experience 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? i just 3rd to vote, but i can, the sense of willingness to, to dissipate in the civic exercise is very palpable when you go out, especially with the delta. very it so up michael henry using co spoke to us here 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 listen, have a look. the freebies has a very or electorate high voter registration can mean the more young filippino us will be showing up in the pools. this is precisely. 5 the reason why ascending the registration period is very significant, a high voter turnout in the paper due to electrons, usher in exciting changes the philippine democracy. 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, i says a, b, b m will be our next president. aha, edwin, i have no idea if you're right though 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 teddy. so it's, it's hard to describe her in one line, but continuation of the dairy to government, then land marcus, you also do finance, nan, son of dictate, 3rd continuation of the dictatorship has that is your turn now in many or bribe b. the antithesis of the 30 b figure of the opposition is this person is no introduction. i given you the the on many patio most with successful filipino acid or sorry, it started. yeah. everybody knows somebody lucky all the boxing legend. and of course he's a senator of the village. 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 jewels as well as andre a former cup riding himself as do their delight. mm. so these are the main contenders this and 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 it's 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 there's just not something the, sorry that 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, you know, just guessing whether or not just going to run and change and change all of a sudden she locked and she did suggest that she is just going to have a campaign for a re election for us mayor 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 of peculiar protest in our election that bekins did a substitute by part of the member. and that is precisely what president the 3rd the 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 anything can happen, anything can happen. we were all sitting on the edge of our seats here a li and i, i've been fully the live up thanks to finding a certificates a candidacy for 2020 philippines elections. october the 1st to 8th, 2021. it sounds boring, but anything bought because in not lost a little bit of a timeline. we had the vice president, 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 the, when the nice of on the long better. 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 i'm 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 the present to testing. jose, can you explain to rosco sca, schism in philippines, politics? well, you know, i mean are we, are, we are more, we have a milton my, persist them 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. bob know, there are also 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. com bolsters, it seems like the mayor of many law 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 disco moreno. let's have a look to see what's happening on youtube because we'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, the 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 you start to re brand her. so 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 less. yeah. gent. yep. yeah. yes. or what's nice about with this is that, you know, when, when, when she came out yesterday, what she rebranded herself are a different color because you are additionally, the opposition now has to be always considered yellow. and by a yellow ribbon, you know that that's the reference, and yes, 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 herself speak. 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, but of course, rather that's going to translate into volts is another thing. let's talk about say, legally and you go get another move us along the inches. 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 to not have a president marcus net. so i, i think beyond the filing of candidacy, there will still be ducks with senate there, bucky, our, me or 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 therapy 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 quantity has been in place since march last year, and yet the number of jesus 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 history, but also the worse a more major southeast asia economies. so what should we do? well, should go back to the basics of testing, freezing in isolation. we also need to run our vaccine rollout, which is actually slowed 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. an island is at the top in that machine, the country at the bottom. the philippine guilty of course, has horse. yeah. well, you know, everybody, all analysts or academics id always say that, that this dynamic is it should, it's 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 and 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 our friends. but generally with n bill downplayed upon demick, and i think it still is bradshaw and about keep up 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 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 1990 s, it's source here. it doesn't want to compromise. it's great rating was to save it already the day. but if this isn't the rainy day, i don't know what is he and i want with having this, nancy ronald holmes, excuse me, at. he's the president of post age of research and it's sort of balances up the hopes of the electorate and the fee is a feeling that to me and we haven't listened to ronald and then and me to respond on the back of this filarious people controlling the increasing by just reach commodities, increasing that be a worker's leticia my job to know the most important urgent concerns. beyond this human turn, you're going to go through some issues with administration and protecting the integrity in fighting got good option and he been in for training and something a more than this issue. so if i did, i need to elections whether i'm being part of the sliding to 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 if we're talking about got election issues, yes, jobs will be dubbed in prices. 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'd, 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 weakness on one hand that helps us cope, but on the other. and that also makes us then to think of, you know, entertainment as our way of coping. you know, and the, 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 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 that daughter over the present eternity and then 56 percent it's. it's a knockout for manny. becky, how xander? you're also laughing. are you surprised? i'm not surprised. i've been gone internationally. viewership would just assume that you always, it's so power, it still poppies 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 done. 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 on the street take everybody. ah. ready to offer, need of canister is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of canister thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film, archives spanning for decades reveals the forgotten truths of the country's modern history. the forbidden real part for the era of darkness on a jazeera october on al jazeera and growing vaccine inequality to the political and economic impacts. the latest development at 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 trial for the estimation of his predecessor thomas, banker context india. direct from them by brings insights and perspectives from the world's most populous democracy. iraqis go to the poll in an election likely to define the countries future. october on al jazeera, when ask and filmmaker has san fuzzily catches the telephone's attention. a bounty on his head forces him to flee with his family, desperately seeking sanctuary. they journey across continents 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 out his era . ah, al jazeera, where ever you ah, ah, this is al jazeera. ah, it is 1500 odds, gmc 6 pm here in doha. hello on, come all santa maria. welcome to the news hour on al jazeera dozen skilled in northern afghanistan in a powerful blast at a shop. moth skate is the worst. busy attack since the taliban takeover when you're in a bottle for journalism use active we need to protect the also news, philippines journalist.
