Dictators aside, I'm still baffled why Pacquiao ran for presidency. He's a boxer and I rooted for him back when he fought Mayweather :/
You've seen our elections. Background doesn't matter all you need is a name and you will get millions of votes
His delusional. And being manipulate by the people around him. He finish a degree in 3 months that degree is political science 4 year course. Pacquiao said he will finish corruption but he him self doing this corruption using his money to get a degree
And yet he got a third place in the election, with 3.5 million votes or around 7% of the popular votes.
That fight did some damage to his ego, thats for sure
alot of people jokingly say that when he becomes president he would fight in another Boxing Match and if that ever happened we would give him the title "The Fighting President"
I mean seriously just imagine... the President of a sovereign country fighting in a boxing match...
@@JayJay-wl5uf we never know. Ukraine have a comedian president 🤮😂
South Korea elected the daughter of a former Dictator too (the ousted President Park) a decade or so ago. There was nostalgia involved there too.
except south korean dictators really cared about the country, Marcoses loot the country and will use ultra nationalism to get what they want.
True
And South Korea stayed economically powerful even tho they elected a dictator's child
It doesnt really change the3 fact that BBM have no achievements while being a politician for so many years. He just used his Father's achievement and used the past presidents failures on Leni's Campaign
@@bswill5077 Achievements is different from experience remember that
Kthxbye
Thats just how politics is in the philippines, you have to be in an already established political dynasty, or be an actor/athlete/beauty queen to be elected, very light on ideology
Not really, President Duterte run as a President as an unknown guy from the Mindanao with single digit vote in a sample size survey.
yep, personality politics
It is not only in the Philippines they have actors/athletes elected as government officials. Ukraine's president was a comedian. Pakistan's ousted PM was a cricket player. Just to name a few. 😉
It's democracy in general. Even the US is guilty of it since when you think about it, political figures become TV celebrities when 24/hr news channels cover their every move.
Example: Arjo Atayde. The only reason why I mentioned him here is because in my school (just guess where it is, it's in Quezon City) cancelled the on-class f2f from 1:00 onwards on May 6 because his rally will make the road filled with cars with his supporters (also without saying Arjo's girlfriend, Maine, is very popular in the Philippines) causing me to hate him
Facebook and social media is ruining the world now. helping to rewrite history with this deluge of misinformation
Even books should be rewritten, Nothing improved in the Philippines after Marcos' stepped down.
you really dont know what happen in our country the 31M people who vote for Marcos did not experience what you called dictatorship
after Marcos got ousted many books have been written about him and his family some aren't actually true but they've allowed it to be published because of their hatred and jealousy towards Marcos Sr. They said he controlled the election, (he actually got re-elected that's why he ruled for 20yrs and people voted for him) they said he left the Philippines and went to Hawaii to run from his mistakes (him and his family actually got kidnapped and brought to Hawaii and later on, Aquino didn't allow then to go back to the Philippines) they said that Marcos Sr. ordered to kill Ninoy Aquino using a sniper rifle (Ninoy Aquino actually got assassinated using a pistol, shot in the head and a footage shows Ninoy talking to someone in the airplane as if they're preparing for his assassination and he knew about it all along it's like a setup to frame Marcos and blame him) they said Marcos and his family had stolen $200+ billion (There's no actually proof that they've stolen anything and the PCGG had been searching for the ill-gotten wealth over they years and no results whatsoever.
Guys grade 7 history sucks (or was it 6) I was taught all about Cory blablabla. I never even learned about any Marcos and said he was a dictator, yan lang 🤦♀️ I have to read every anecdotal evidence comment just to learn about Marcos and his great works
As a Filipino, let me conclude, we are so sick we opted for the poison.
When you mean "we" you mean your party. Keep coping.

Philippines is having crisis of misleading information about Marcos
Philippines is similar to the US, where the world gets to wonder why that even after a pool of hundreds of millions of people, the same family names keep appearing as our choices for who to elect. And we always have a "law and order" bully who seems to be friends with a lot of criminals that half of the voters seem okay to vote for.
I (we) still plan on visiting the Philippines in the next few years. And maybe try to live there for a few months. The election hasn't changed that.
@@weareheretochange7361 imagine, have you even experienced what martial law is? You're still just a student dude. Listen to your elders
@@frakez6155 yeah i listened to my parents, they didnt forget what happened during martial law, and im proud of them for it, unlike yourself
@@frakez6155 well I have, my dad was one of the thousands who marched in EDSA asking to end the dictatorship. Sure, Marcos’ tenure started well and I can’t deny that - I might even applaud that - but all of his achievement has been rubbed away by the devastation that came with embezzling the wealth of the people.
Feel free to read my dissertation that I did on Marcos legacy and impact on the 2016 Elections if you doubt my research. And before you say anything, no, we are not communists or affiliated to NPA etc, we’re just ordinary citizens who bothered to learn the truth from credible sources - not tiktok or youtube or even just news media from the Philippines.
The Philippines since 1986 has struggled to clean the messes left by Marcos and, in fact, different leaders but same in corruption. After decades of false promises, no wonder why Filipinos think to clean the messes once and for all, they thought the son of the former dictator. Literally, like the case of the Rajapaksa dynasty in Sri Lanka.
It was those who followed Marcos who put this country deeper into the shithole.
That's the same rhetoric people used that got Rodrigo Duterte elected. Now in hindsight, I don't know if Marcos Jr. can even run the country as well as Duterte did. And that guy failed a LOT of promises.
While I will not condemn BongBong for being the son of a dictator , I am scrutinising, if not am condemning BongBong's sin of avoiding debates, and interviews with the media who are interested in enquiring about his Criminal charges especially from the US, his tax evasion, the whereabouts of the Ill-gotten wealth from Marcos Sr, and his purpose and reasons for running for president. Example elaborating on his slogan of "Unity", as this is a helluva ambiguous term that anyone can pull off.
Had he confronted his father's past sin and returned all of the ill-gotten wealth, then I believe he would've been decent enough to be a honest leader.
This campaign of his reminds me of Joseph Goebbels saying "Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.". I know I was, at one point, questioning myself and everything I've researched and believed whether rule under Marcos Sr. Really was a 'Golden Era' and whether things were really aa bad as the older generations had told me.
Mainstream Media is bias in the Philippines, just like mainstream Western Media

Same I will not condem bobong
Even though the concern regarding Bong Bong skipping debates is a valid one, one must remember that ALL candidates picked which debates they would attend and turned down those they don't feel like attending for one reason or another. Though I would really like to see Bong Bong's stance on the controversies put upon their family and talk about the specific details of these issues that the media leave out on their reports. For example, the media keep insisting about the Marcos Real Estate Tax during Bong Bong's campaign (possibly to further smear his name) while leaving out the fact that these real estate properties ( and in turn, the tax revenue) are already in the possession of the BIR ever since 1986 as per Cory's Executive Order No. 2. It is the BIR who failed to process and resolve this issue and the Marcoses have no say in it whatsoever and yet the media keeps pushing the narrative that it's their fault.
Ill have you know that Robredo and other Presidential Candidates also skipped debates.
When Robredo and other Pres. Candidates were invited to a Pres. Debate on SMNI they didnt show up
only Leody, Abella BBM and some other guy whose name i forgot showed up, I watched the debate it was Fun to watch and im not sugarcoating this, go watch it yourself.
Meanwhile, CNN and COMELEC debates were boring, the questions were not really that interesting, like as in they dont make your brain go into Hyperdrive.
@3:57, correction there... Bongbong ran for senator in 2010 and his term ended in 2016. He ran for Vice President in 2016 and lost very narrowly. He's been out of office ever since. Between 2016 and 2022, he launched an agressive social media campaign to "freshen-up" the Marcos image.

Years after ousting their Child monarch, Bulgaria elected him president a few years ago. That would make for good movie, like a naive child king is forced from power but slowly learns the proper way to rule.
Well, said child monarch was ousted by the soviets precisely.
*Prime minister
It's worrisome. Some positives: 6 years isn't that long. It's longer than a US term, but shorter than a US maximum term. Also, while political dynasties are dangerous, in this case it might be a good thing. With no possibility of re-election, Marcos could normally do whatever he wants now without consequences, but with Duterte's daughter waiting for her turn, his behavior is going to reflect on her. The important thing is to stick to the term limits. The push to revise history could be an attempt to groom the population into welcoming a dictatorship. If Marcos or Duterte start trying to change the constitution to increase their power, that's where Philippinos really need to spring into action to shut that down immediately. That's where it gets out of control.

@@lancetheking7524 senators opposed it because its against their interest.

You people really are bastards, I'm no fan of marcos but I stand by my people, they voted for him and I'll stand by their vote all the same. You westerners have an insatiable appetite to demean other nations who don't tow the "western" leftists line even if is the democratic vote of the people. Any self respecting filipino who values the consensus of their fellow countrymen would do no less than to work with what our people have voted for. They wanted to give marcos a second chance, I say let him prove himself.
@@lovifihuman5168 🤔No doubt you are right, but unless they are bots everyone deserves their say.
6:43 "Tito Sotto, Former Actor and TV Host."
I think it bears mentioning that's he's also the Current Senate President and has had multiple terms as a Senator at this point.
Yeah thats more fair to say
And also mentioning that Manny Pacquiao was once a Rep and now an outgoing Senator.
He was also accused of participating in a gang rape that only got dropped cause the victim committted "suicide".
As someone from the Philippines- it is very worrisome how people are affected by emotions, tribalism, and campaigns-of-emotion/propaganda when elections come about. Whoever has the most emotional populist message will probably win- even if that person doesn't really say anything of substance about fixing things. Basically making people vote for bad people because they are emotionally moved at the time.
Really horrible populist tactic- but you can see how effective it is in the Philippines and how corrupt people who corrode democracy keep getting elected.
Youre making it sound like the people who support him are mindless and stupid, who are easily affected by their emotions.
Not just the Philippines have that problem.
Liberal Party literally became like a cult and making the VP as a saint. Also, if not for the negative campaign, maybe the votes doesn't have a huge gap.
🤐 from India. I can feel you
This is unfortunately common everywhere. It's a sort of "meta" tactic of the 2010s and sadly 2020s too. Populism is the bane of the civilized world and munches on the less educated.
Only higher quality education could fix this issue in the long term, but that requires the government to actually invest in it, which will hardly happen as long as populists reign... I hope there's gonna come up a solution in time.

My take-away from the 2 or 3 national elections of my country the Philippines is to take a good look on how political parties use social media to campaign. Look at how different social media site algorithm tend to favor one candidate over another and how mis/disinformation spreads. It's frightening how it can affect democracy.
I am a Filipino. I voted for Bong Bong Marcos 58% of us did. You do not know what is happening in the Philippines. The reason the West does not like the Marcoses is because they are challenging our oligarchs installed by the West since the Spanish and later on American colonialization. The Americans does not want leaders going against their narrative.
@@uchannel1197 I had a good laugh reading your reply. I'm Filipino too and wasn't able to vote because I'm overseas now and I won't vote for BBM, a convicted tax evader and who doesn't respect the Filipino people by refusing to attend election debates. The marcoses protected those western interest that is why he got asylum in the US. Also, if you read the US State department leaks the US government even protected and supported FM. I don't know where you got that idea.
@@commercialfree philipine always been an ally to US.
Before downloading Tab for a cause, you should know that only 30% of their revenue goes to aid projects.
Which is far lower than other charitable non-profits especially when you consider, that they have basically a very low to non exsitent "needed" administrative expenses.
I think that there model of direct donations vs an add revenue model is pretty different, likely the 30% represent a substantial chunk of their margin, not sure if they publish revenue and profitability reports, but It's likely not something you can compare apples to apples.
@@Jak0vas just checked them out and they do have transparent reports. apparently around 30% goes to paying employees and 20% for employment costs like taxes. Arguably high, but considering it's open source and is transparent with the report, which is practically shown as a section in the promotional page, seems reasonable, considering this might be a full time job for some.
CORRECTION: It was Marcos Jr.'s sister, Imee, that got elected as senator in 2019 under Sara Duterte's HNP Coalition, not him.
My goodness, is his dog into politics too? How severe is nepotism in the Philippines?
@@happyface96 Very severe. Almost every city and every town is led by or has people with relatives in other government positions.
@@happyface96 Is it really nepotism if elected?
@@gustavju4686 sure, the democratic proses is more than just elections. Before the election phase political parties have to nominate a candidate to contest for the elections, this is usually where favouritism take place. Especially in populism a big popular name is more useful for success than merits and qualification.
Meaning, a family of a big political figure will always have a higher chance of nomination than your average Joe.
Think of it this way, would this guy get anywhere near this far without his Surname? If no then he got there bc of nepotism.
@@happyface96 Oh, that makes sense (at the party nomination level being where the nepotism comes in).
I think Pacquio and BongBong should box for the presidency
Agreed
Pacquiao was KOed in the R12.
I just want to add smth: from the Philippines here. Although Rodrigo Duterte does support uniteam, it’s not to such a large extent that he would directly say that bongbong or BBM is a good president. Rodrigo previously mentioned how he found BBM weak and how he’d prefer a lawyer. I think a lot of his support is driven by the fact his daughter was there, but I think it’s still important to note that BBM and Rodrigo don’t exactly get along.
true. It's not even an uneasy alliance between Bongbong and Rodrigo, it's just that they have a common connection through Sara.
Sara carried Marcos/Uniteam tbh. She could've easily beaten Marcos if she chose to run as president (also probably the reason why Duterte is a bit snarky against him). She's nowhere near as controversial as him.

I feel this might be a start of removing the term limits... to allow him or his family to run indefinitely.
@@triadwarfare thats what im fearing.
If they can't remove the term limit they'll make sure their family is the only governing body.
Whether he is a dictator is entirely dependent on whether there is another free election under this guys power. But this was a free election, and the candidates were electric.
if 2025 happens and he is willing to step down in 2028 that is, or alternatively the constitution gets amended/replaced and that will throw our future into a vale of mystery.
“Free election” with disinformation on the side. Sure
Lets hope he does good for the nation and not follow his father's footsteps. I do wonder how he feels gaining power in a system his father tried to suppress
Its quite ironic that the constitution of which he will be elected from was essentially created to undermine every aspect of their brutal rule.
Marcos got elected twice to the presidency before Martial Law...
He used a campaign based on rewriting history. He feels his father did nothing wrong
you must be kidding right?
Hes probably laughing his ass off after fooling all the idiots who voted for him, which hell rob.
Philippine politics is very much like the religious conflict across different faiths and belief systems. The only pieces of information we believe in are ones that we agree with. We are overly obsessed with being good and righteous as we insist everyone else who doesn't share our beliefs is somehow the root of all evil as we try to paint them in the worst possible way. Political views along with all of the agendas that's presented under the guise of compassion are incredibly overvalued. And we think that our country would be better off if only no one opposed us, and everyone would just share our beliefs.
It's one of the most scandalous countries in the world.
The Filipinos are not ready for a transparent and honest government. Political dynasties are the way to achieve continued rule over their constituents while amassing unexplained wealth.
Democracy is only effectice when you have a strong economy.
Between '87 - 2016, economic growth is fairly limited, however, the 2010s saw a change of economic trajectory, where our economy starts to grow. One could only anticipate a much more proper democracy when our economy is at 1 Trillion USD, perhaps within the 2030s.
I'm a Filipino for what i can tell you is that all of the commissioners of the election are either Duterte's appointee or Marcos previous lawyer. Even Bongbong's sister Imee Marcos is the senate committee on electoral reforms. God pls help Philippines

Did I say I voted for yellows? Maybe I voted for Isko or Lacson. How about you respect my opinion?
And we have been improving the past 30-40 years, very slowly while paying off our massive debt. We have improved regardless of administration, because it is us people who have carried the economy on our backs.
That's the problem if you keep listening gossips instead of data facts. Liberal short minded. Stop being trash and wake up! You keep blaming 1 man but you can't blame traitors around him that benefited billions from idiots like you.
@Jenny Vergara excuse me, the unithieves had had their reign for 44 years (Marcos, Ramos, Arroyo, Estrada, and Duterte) while we only has 2 Liberal party presidents for a total of 12 years. Learn math first in school before Facebook and TikTok
Why does Marcos Sr. "Dictator but political stability and economic prosperity" and Duterte Sr. "Build, build, build" sounds like Indonesian presidents Soeharto and Jokowi?? 😅
They only sound similar because both are controversial figures, overhyped by supporters and overnegged by opponents. It's just that Suharto and FEM differ in ideology as Suharto is socialist (ish) and FEM is pseudo-capitalistic, however, his supporters claim he is pseudo-communist (and I don't have an idea why)
@@arkcliref Interesting take. Though, I'm not sure why you would classify Soeharto as a socialist when he was definitely against Indonesian communist party and the general left during Soekarno's fall. I would classify him as a capitalist, at least in Indonesian standards. Soekarno is much more socialist than Soeharto.
@@arkcliref Suharto… a socialist? LMFAO. He fucking led a pruge against communists here. His economic policy is very much capitalistic.
@@arkcliref by the definition of communism like the real definition Russia china and North Korea aren't communist Guam like no Guam before it was invaded by kastila was true communist
Because it is.
I still can't fathom how the Philippines voted a guy who never attended a single presidential debate nor public interview to power. Not to mention fall for the fake news of the Martial Law era being a prosperous age and yearn for it to come back.
Though all of this aside, I have to say it's bizarre to see your country be in the spotlight for a small moment in the international news
😅
Being on Facebook, TH-cam, and TikTok subscribring to historical revisionists and misinformation peddlers does that to you. Utter brain rot. Our education system was also apparently very light in discussing the ML years, kind of like if Germans were barely taught about the atrocities of the Third Reich.
People like you are the reason why Marcos won. Lying to your teeth. Marcos went to SMNI debate 2 times.
he did join the last 2016 debate where he alone was attacked by all his opponents with the same issue. This is the reason why he doesn't want to join any debate because according to him it is a waste of time answering questions that he has been answering for more than 30 years so rather than wasting energy trying to explain to his opponent he would rather talk to the people directly.
He attended the SMNI Presidential Debate where some candidates including his opposition did not attend.
Even back in the 2016 debates he failed to conclude those tax issues. If he has nothing to hide he can simply shut anyone off with facts. He did try to respond but were untrue. There were rulings against them asking them to pay. I bet if it's his father running this election he would face the filipino people unlike bongbong.
The Filipinos seem to be very emotional voters and they rally behind who they chose and are very passionate about it.
Marcos has had the lead in surveys from the start and his lead then was more than double the second candidate was. What eventually seals his victory was the attitude of the other candidates' supporters continuosly harping degrading slurs to those who they come across as not in favour of their candidate. Constantly barraging Marcos' supporters that they were stupid, uneducated and poor was one of the biggest mistakes they could ever do. For people who were supposedly campaigning and winning other people, they definitely shunned others especially those who were still undecided.
well they were right thou...
@Wemzhou Lou liberals and democrats love it they shun other with opinion that triggers them it makes the undecided to vote the opposite
Idk why a lot of people are suddenly saying this. There are a lot of negativity and toxicity from Marcos supporters too. To most, it didn't matter how much convincing and discussions you offer, you'll just be met with laughter and insulting phrases. It's understandable how some ran out of patience when apparently tiktok and facebook are more credible sources than court rulings, news (local AND international), and history books.

@@ayanomato4662 yeah know about that. It's a shame how rampant the disinformation is and how many people just swallow it without questions
I would also like to point out that the Philippines has a Christian cult called "Iglesia ni Cristo", which has a huge number of adherents, and they have a thing where they ALL vote candidates endorsed by the cult's leadership, which is largely believed, the reason why an actor, Robin Padilla, got the most votes in the senatorial race.
I would like to see some coverage on them, as well as how much they impacted the elections.
yeah cuz the CATHOLIC priest are any better her. They basically made her a saint and treated her as head of the church
It is not a cult, it is a religion. Stop spreading fake news.
@@HorangiPowah it IS a cult
Yeah, the same cult that endorsed PNot YellowPinktards.
@@HorangiPowah it's a cult. A religion that doesn't respect anyone else but asks everyone else to respect it is a cult.
Unfortunately, there are millions of new younger voters whom appeared do not know Marcos' history 50 years ago. This election brought once again the Political Dynasty back in the Philippines, take a look now with new elected Congressman/woman and Senators. Hoping history does not repeat again.
Hope these elected individuals aims to better the Philippines as Asia's growing economy and be better servant of their people.

He seems like he isn’t like his father. Hopefully he’s a good man, but his attempt to justify his fathers dictatorship is concerning.
What have you been smoking? Even the most recent History books say that Marcoses are the villains. Almost every school had taught students that they are the villains. Clearly, they know about the Marcoses.
The answer is simple, The Filipinos want change and the 1987 Constitution isn't cutting out for them. If they believe that he is the guy to do it, then they will vote for him. They always glance at the past and always looking at the future.

Both of my parents support Marcos while I'm not big into politics, so it's pretty interesting to see on how you'd view on the situation in comparison to my parents
That's very respectful actually. I wish every Filipino is like you
Honestly same, It's funny how my mom tried to say that it's okay to suppress freedom of speech because they're "biased" or even blame the next administration for not paying the debt that the Marcoses accumulated despite there other issues needing to be funded (Literally The UK recently paid their debt from the South Seas Bubble that happened more than 5 centuries ago and Germany just paid their debt from WWI)
As a Filipino, I really hope he ran for Presidency simply to avoid his Tax fraud/evasion allegations, that would be my best case scenario, worst case scenario would be him attempting to reinstate a Dictatorship and live up to his Father's legacy.
Bro you dumb or something? He can’t run for presidency if he has a crime
"tax fraud" which he paid, the land which he wants to be taken away since he doesn't even know what land they're talking about. "Dictatorship" martial law which is a law made to counteract and takeover. A law copied from us. Right
Well I hope it doesn't come to that. But, I think that being a dictator today is way harder than in was in the 80's when they got the USA or the USSR backing them. I think that the Philipines cannot risk a lot given their current position with China, they need USA support and the USA won't be eager to support a dictatorship. An example could be with weapons and military equipment, if Bongo uses the military to supress political oponents or protestors, America nor Europe will sell him weapons. Russia after the war with Ukraine won't be able to sell them and I'm not sure if China is an option for the Philipines when it comes to military equipment.
Wakeup for being stupid idiot gising na ang mga pilipino ikaw binabangungot pa.
I will say BBM is a coward people look for the father yet they have only the underwhelming son
Better question is: why is TLDR refusing to talk about the South Korean election? You guys arent even covering it on your tldr daily channel.
not as exciting as having the son of a dictator win the election
No bit about why Ferdinand Marcos was liked and hated? Just went over about the bit of martial law and none of the accomplishments. Seemed a bit bias.
It's funny because this channel was previously marked by TH-cam as being funded by the US government. That mark suddenly disappeared when Russia invaded Ukraine and this channel was against Russia's aggression. Democrats are against Russia's aggression (rightfully so, imho) but are also supporters of the Philippines' Liberal Party, which Robredo is closely in cahoots with. The current president of the US is a Democrat.
Piece that together.
"I tore down saddam's statue, now I want him back" this event reminds me of this quote, humans are weird really.
That tends to happen when the people are disillusioned by the succeeding government, unfortunately.
I hope the people of the Philippines enjoyed democracy while it lasted
Let's be honest. They didn't and things are only getting worse
GAGO (in tagalog) What your tongue because you don't live here in the Philippines!
we didn't enjoy that failure of a democracy
What we need is a competent leader, democracy is just a bonus.
@@esense9602 you have that backwards
I like Philipines system of one term for President and two for Vice-President, I dislike the fact that they run separatedly, here in Brazil last time we used a system like that it didn't let's say that it didn't end well...
fun fact, no one has actually run/won a 2nd VP term like no one actually knows it
Having President and VP come from opposing factions do have an advantage of it not becoming a "yes men" state.
For example, during the start of Covid, Duterte and his team focused on lockdowns, but Robredo focused on getting the frontliners the necessary PPE and transportation. I think Duterte was offended like the VP was trying to one-up him and further isolated her politically.
I think the Philippines is secure enough where the current sitting president can't be assassinated so the VP can take over.

@@weareheretochange7361 - congratulations. People like you are EXPLICITLY why the son of a dictator is getting elected. I have a fiance in the philippines, and this tactic has been the absolute standard for his opposition, which can easily be summed up as blatant hypocrisy. No one is mad that THE SON OF a dictator is in power, (and isn't it amazing how fast "sins of the father aren't the sins of the son" gets thrown in the trash when it's their opponent?) they're just mad that the dictator who was supposed to give THEM the kickbacks isn't in power.
Marcos Jr ran on a platform of being competent. Even if he's corrupt, he'll at least do the job right in the meantime, and the public has had it hammered in that he's the son of a dictator, so everyone is up his ass in the meantime. His opposition ran on being the "moral high ground" and yet they've demonstrated that not only do they have absolutely no moral high ground, they've also demonstrated that they are absolutely incompetent to boot.
The only thing more dangerous than an intelligent enemy is an incompetent ally, and the only thing more dangerous than that is an incompetent leader.
TLDR logic = father is an engineer, then son is an engineer
Political dynasties are practically as bad as monarchies. Speaking from Canada, where the son of a former Prime Minister is the current Prime Minister, I would be more than okay with banning near family members of former leaders from seeking the top office.
I don't think that's a good idea as that would infringing on personal liberties but I think better thing would be the germany electoral system where the ruling party is not given a majority but is forced into a coalition
Well, you should know about the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty of India, who still refuses to abdicate from the top posts of the major opposition party even after losing two elections.
Why are you assuming Monarchies are a bad thing? Some of the most developed countries are Monarchies. Including yours.
Hasn't liberals and NDP formed an alliance tho
While the intent is good, if people really want a family member of a former leaders to hold office such law would prevent the people's choice. It sounds undemocratic.
You know we just really like suffering & not getting the best opportunity, like will never be better only worse.
There’s a clarification there: the President and the Vice President are voted separately, not tandem. Although he implicitly said that.
Yes!
Wow, this is the first time seeing a TLDR video solely for the Philippines o_o

Politics in the West: Choose. Leftists, centrists, capitalists, right-wingers.
Politics in the Philippines. Choose the candidate which you like for any reason except for being actually a good and honest politican. (P.S. They usually like the candidate because they get money)
There are no Parties here, only personalities.
An actor was elected in the Senate with 26 million votes, people who are lawyers, people with doctorates, and experienced public servants was downgraded by the voters.

I saw a video citing that Marcos Jr. won based on his campaigning strategy, playing a defensive position and choosing to stay silent amidst people asking for him to answer his many controversies. If he won based on this strategy, I have to commend him. However, in no way did I supported him during elections having no detailed plataporma presented beforehand. As for now, I wish he could prove everyone wrong and does not live up to his father's legacy.
it wasn't a defensive strategy, it was a cowardly move.
You can say that he does not have a detailed plataporma if in the first place you are not interested and you are against him.
He has plataforma. You just need to do a little but of research unless you already have a preconceived judgement towards him.
He has platforms, I thought we're on the modern age where you can search everything. There's still dumb people like this one.
Marcos was smart avoiding the liberal news media giants. He has a strong 50% base already WHY should he risk it? He let social media do the work while his critics conveniently called it misinformation and attacking the voters. Robredo need to flip Marcos voters in order to win. The Liberal party controls the Showbiz industry, Academe and news media in Philippines similar to the US. This was the mistake of TRUMP I think in 2020. The news media was fully aware on how to control TRUMP during the 2020 debates. If you watch TRUMP 2016 debates vs 2020 debates the news media aggresively control the debate style and narrative.
Yes.

I wonder if the same is going on in the Philippines with people just disenfranchised with everything and because Marcos Sr. was seen as a both revered and yet a very controversial figure during his tenure as "President", this could be why Marcos Jr won the election?

As some insight from being descended from Filipino diaspora myself, tribalism seems to play a big part in Filipino politics. Since Bong Bong is Ilocano most of my family ended up being fervent supporters of him and his father. I have a hefty amount of skepticism towards his administration but I do genuinely hope that he doesn’t end up a tyrant like his father.

He also asserts that he was cheated in the vice presidential race when he lost to Robredo even after Philippine Supreme Court ruled otherwise.
Now he appears to have won in one of the fishiest polls since the year 1986 when his dictator dad cheated his way to a snap election which triggered the popular uprisings that ousted him. Disinformation, bribery, threats were all taken to the max by marcos junior even months and years to election day. I was a pollwatcher myself unaffiliated with either frontrunner, and the reports of people bribing voters to pick marcos were overwhelming.
