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...
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
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
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
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.

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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@Xinnie the Pooh The constitution didn't make us poor, how it was used did. We didn't go after those who were involved in Marital Law and instead welcomed them back into office. The constitution was never at fault, it was the failure of the people to capitalise on it
@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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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
@@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.
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.
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.

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.
Their propaganda machine has been incredibly effective and they're playing the long game. Frighteningly brilliant really. Millions have rejected our history, families and friends torn apart over this election, it's all very sad and I've been pretty apathetic towards politics until this election.
@@muddledetective6892 bruh if you read actual history books, they are not. They provided ample justifications for both sides with facts and nothing but facts from historical record. Read especially Teodoro Agoncillio’ History of the Filipino People, great book. Don’t tell me that TikTok and facebook told you otherwise.
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
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.
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.
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

@@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.
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.
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.
@@jmgonzales7701 it doesn't mean that they're right, that they're smart. Politics in the Philippines is not a battle on who got the most amount of superiority complex, no democracy has been that way, not even tribal hunter gatherer direct democracies.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
and he has been a senator for a long time. Ping and Tito Sotto's appeal is that they have been there for so long and that the Filipinos can bank on their experience to become great.
Fun fact: There are more votes to Vice President Candidate Sara Duterte than Presidential Candidate Bong Bong Marcos or BBM. Difference is little over 400,000 votes. -As of May 12, 2022 (98.35% vote results done)
@@ricobacalla1891 Yeah, it isn't necessary for Sara supporters to vote BBM. Me personally will vote Isko-Ong (Willie Ong because I like him as a person and Isko is politically the closest to me) so yeah
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.
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.
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.
As a Filipino, the fact that we elected him is disappointing. While I don’t think he will completely follow his father’s policies, he will most likely be influenced by them. Most Filipinos get information from social media which is probably why he got many votes, and through his massive disinformation campaign, he managed to completely capture this young audience on social media who didn’t grow up under the time of Martial Law. There’s also the widespread issue of vote buying on the Marcos camp. I’d also like to point out that while Duterte’s faction of PDP-Laban(since there’s a separate faction lead by Pacquiao), endorsed the Uniteam tandem, Duterte himself did not endorse them. Whatever the outcome of his presidency will be, I hope it will be a good one.

If hindi nila ma accept yon, bakit pa tayo nag election and do votings. This is vise versa comment meron din BBM Supporters na ganyan.
Pffftt, Mainstream Media is very biased against the Duterte and Marcos family lemme tell you that. Want to see an example? When President Duterte was building projects like the CCLEX, SKYWAY and many more the Mainstream Media ( like ABS CBN, GMA ) kept quiet about, sure they reported it and showed them on tv after sometime (maybe his projects were getting popular and there really wasnt any point in keeping quiet about it) , but that doesnt change the fact that during the Initial Years of BBB the media kept quiet about it.
His supporters wants everyone to "Respect their opinion🤡" But who knows, maybe he'll actually be a great leader. Only time will tell, may god bless our country.

@@tanker00v25 That's actually a good point, I take it back. The main issue is that some of the Filipinos just basically rat out people outside the Philippines and basically assume that they are pink supporters (the color Leni Robredo is using for the elections). They instantly make an argument to that person with the use of history about the Marcos family. Following his propaganda and with the naive thinking of people that the Philippines will "economically become great" again.
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 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...
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.
It's funny because this channel was previously marked by RU-vid 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.

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.
Good coverage. One note: granted, I just happened to hear this from my mother, not sure if it’s right or not, but I did hear that Duterte did in fact pull a 180 and sort of turned against Bong Bong, publicly denouncing him. 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.
@@atenosh Not history is revised, it is because of your supporters' attitude toward forcing to vote leni. Do not force someone because they will be agains you.
Earlier today, I have heard the strange-sounding news about Bongbong and his election! Now I understand it a bit better! Thanks for the video! Also, thanks for bringing _Tab_ _for_ _a_ _Cause_ to my attention! Now, every time I open Chrome, I will be helping the Ukrainian cause!
i literally saw a 50+ man on facebook begging to have a martial law for at least a year. Idk what kind of shitshow is happening on our country rn but once i’m done with my bachelor’s i’ll leave and never come back. clearly, filipinos still hasn’t learned its lesson.
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.
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 we are the Philippines! We hate corrupt politican and family dynasty. But we love to elect them as well! In case you ever feel stupid, always look for us then you'll be relieved.
Mexico did this back in 2012 when they voted for Enrique Pena Nieto. The first time after almost 90 years of party rule, the PRI won the elections again. He was one of Mexico's worst Presidents but based on the political record of Mexico, this is not new. 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?
Valid and most probable, though do take note they’ve been revising history for the past years since they got back in the Philippines as well. Will see how things go from here
We are tired with Aquino and liberal administration. We suffer from crimes, corruptions and injustices during their administration. We are tired. Better we will vote for Marcos. We have nothing to lose. We were scammed on 1986.
so you are saying you elected the family that stole $10 Billion to be in charge of finding the $10Nillion they stole because you are tired of corruption???😂 Who ties your shoes?
@@SirFaceFone one can only hope the Philippines has nothing to lose even if he is a scam the military will just do its job might aswell be in a military junta if this administration fails
I’m fascinated by the fact that foreign media, big and small are interested with our election. Anyway, as long as the reportage is fair and sensible, I’ll watch it. Thank you.
Because our country Philippines has the most weirdest election so far in history, A champion boxer, a human rights lawyer, a son of dictator,a former actor and former cop are running for president

Time will tell whether he will follow his father step or serve the people Singapore is different story,their leader actually care about the country and it's citizens.
If you mean under the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew then I agree. I'm a Filipino who visited Singapore one time and I admire the discipline of the people there. But then again, remember that geographically Singapore is the size of Metro Manila in the Philippines so the population is smaller and they tend to..i dont know..be more cooperative

The president can order martial law but he need the opinion of the senate i think. So even if he try to do that another mas rallies will try to overthrow him imo.
@@theseknotsu9619 he only did that BECAUSE OF COMMUNISTS TRYING TO DO A COUP, mass rally happened because of what the soldiers did. It wasn't his fault that the soldiers abused their power
@@frakez6155 I'm talking about BBM not his father. Martial law will lead to another mass rallies kaya malabo na mag martial law. Ewan na lng kung may mangyare na aberya sa 6 year term nya. Tsaka pwede namn mag impeach ng president kung may gagawin syang katarantaduhan kaya i'll just see kung ano magagawa nya sa termino nya.
The same constitution that was suppose to keep the Marcoses at bay resulted in the opposite on the 9th of May of 2022. When will my citizens realize the Constitution was and still flawed? It didn't fixed the perils caused by the Marcos dictatorship. The constitution worsened the political atmosphere of the country, limited its growth during the 90s and 2000s, which led to our manufacturing industry being stagnant, and being reliant on importation, which rose food cost. The constitution has set a SPECIFIC Economic Provision of the infamous 60/40 Ratio, where 60% of the employees of a company by a foreign investor shall have 60% Filipino nationals and 40% foreign nationals? This has deterred the PH being a lucrative and FDI-appealing nation, INITIALY, that could've bolstered our industries earlier during the 90s and 2000s, rather than in the 2010s. Some of our citizens work overseas because there are more white-collar jobs overseas, than within the our private sector. We rely on importation of manufactured products, than bolster our own manufacturing industries here because we significantly bar foreign investors because of our flawed constitution. Furthermore, more the 1987 Constitution didn't made the government seem proportionally representing the people, where most elected legislators comes from Luzon and Manila, that's why Rodrigo Duterte's election was significant, because he was THE FIRST MINDANAOAN PRESIDENT. In addition, this term limits forces some politician to continue their desired policies and government intervention through having their family members run for the same national/local post, which is confirmed by a study of DLSU and Ateneo School of Government. The Unitary System, hampers a equal pace of development, as it have to rely on the central government to make planning for far-end regions of the country, rather than having the provincial region itself, plan its spending, expenditure, projects and policies. You're also forgetting we're a MULTI-ETHNIC NATION, with 120 Ethnicities and Tribes roaming the country, and religion being diverse, where Luzon and Visayas are Catholics, and the Mindanao Region being mainly Muslim, this make Mindanaoan view the Central Government as a "Christian Theocracy." The solution is CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM, no more ludicrous economic provision, which would lead to more economic investment and strengthening of our manufacturing and service industry, for more jobs. No more term limits, a shift to Federalism, because we're a multi-ethnic nation, where regionalism is still strong. A reform of our House of Representative to be somewhat a PROPER Parliament, where we make half of the elected House of Representative voted based on District, and the other half based on proportional voting of political parties. In addition, the powers of a President is too strong, and our system let us not vote politicians in tandem, that's why we could have tons of Filibusters within the Senate and the House of Representatives. This system also allows a opportunity to immediately remove a Prime Minister with a vote of no confidence. A reform of the K-12 System, where we also have skill-based education and specializations, such as in South Korea and Japan. We could've reformed to this, but the Liberal Party and its members has continually downplayed or downright dismiss the idea of systematic change because our problems here are "because of people's behavior." They rejected the Ramos Administration's proposal reform, they rejected the Arroryo Administration's Cha-Cha, they ridiculed the Duterte Administration's Federalism Change, and now, the Liberal Party is now ridiculed and hated because of their sheer stupidity to not realize the need for reform earlier, and now they're reaping its consequence, by having another Marcos, being the 17th President of this Country. If there's two good things about this election, it's the realization of the need for constitutional reform and the decline and utter internal destruction of the Liberal Party for their reluctance on reform.
Yeah! Ferdinand Marcos is no Dictator. He's Target is NPA and Corruption. If they ask old folks in the Philippines. They will know how great is Ferdinand Marcos.
@@slytheringuy0529 Marcos had power over the country by force, extending his time as president, torturing and killing those who opposed. He WAS a dictator, there is no doubt about that.
@@aka8412 He is a Dictator to NPA and the people who are against the government. He only killed criminals. He Declared Martial Law just to fight Communist in the Philippines.
@@slytheringuy0529 "Only killed criminals". Say that to Luis Manuel, Tibo Mijares' youngest son, who was kidnapped, tortured, and found murdered and mutilated after Tibo Mijares spoke out about what happened behind the scenes, releasing his book The Conjugal Dictatorship. Anyone who spoke against Marcos disappeared and died. Read the book, The Conjugal Dictatorship, written by Tibo Mijares, who had experience firsthand.
@@aka8412 FYI, The Americans are the ones who considered Marcos as a Dictator. They just wanted to make the Philippines a Poor Country. Don't You know that Marcos built the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant? Because of that, We Filipinos be able to lower our Electricity Bill.
For more on this election I'd really recommend watching the recent segment from Last Week Tonight. Even for a TL;DR it feels like this is lacking some really big points such as what Bongbongs parents did, how he benefited, has no regrets, and why there's no reason to expect anything else from him.
This bongbong marcos is a man-child. Raised in opulent wealth from his dictator family, cringes at his own supporters when they try to shake his hand, avoids tough questions and debates all together, lied about having an Oxford degree, the list goes on. 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. God save this country from another man-child.

Anothr of d obsolete bias narrative like d yellows who failed miserably 2 deliver in their post edsa promises led by a widow selected by oligarchs who w/out exprience n govrnance whtsoever bcme a lame pres!
I don't think he will become a dictator like some people say. As he isn't really a 'strongman'. He's very soft-spoken and calm. One word I would describe him as is he is 'diplomatic'. Duterte even called him a weak leader months ago. Being a dictator's son does not make you a dictator. From what i've seen his priorities are economy, agriculture and renewable energy. Even though he is lacking in explaining policies, he does seem to have some progressive views like legalization of medical mariuna, pro-abortion for rape victims, etc. (I watched all his interviews) Well time will tell. Good luck. I will continue to support my country. I will support bbm if I think he is doing something good and call him out when I think he is doing something wrong. And i wish him good luck I also think people saying that he will become a dictator and destroy the country could be an advantage for him because that will put low expectations for him, where if he makes the country grow or even keep it afloat, it will be a success
@@Pineapple_hozy yeah. Personally i don't see her as a president, even though i think she is a good person. I actually went for Norberto Gonzales (even though he is definitely not winning) and bbm is my second choice. Note: I think Robredo would have gotten a better chance at winning if she didn't constantly criticized the duterte admin and instead helped the gov. I feel that made people dislike and made her seem like a disruptor.
@@elpus0823 yeah yeah definitely agree! I think If Leni would have cooperated more to the administration I feel like her optics being seen as fighting Duterte wouldn be gone. Even though there are some issues in the Duterte admin she should have atleast helped them with the good projects the admin has. It is actually interesting that you went for Norberto Gonzales. He is actually a good candidate and has really good platforms in my opinion.

@@chrystgavenfamorcan8507 False, Chinese debt just makes around 2% of the country's EXTERNAL DEBT, in which external debt ONLY MAKES UP 30% of the country's total debt. Besides, a foreign reserve that is 100 USD Billion Strong, an economy that has a diverse secotr, from manufacturing to services, and an economy that is consistently growing more than 6% isn't poised for disaster.
Got all details correct except the taxation part... He had issues with the tax long before and had a ruling but the prosecution didn't execute the decision. That case was already final and executory which should have been enforced... Also he(Marcos Jr.) can't pay those taxes because of Cory Aquino's decision to freeze their properties.

being a son of a dictator doesn't mean he's also a dictator, but if he wants for people to trust him more he must keep his promise on improving the nation's economy, power supply and infrastructure.
No one mentions what Bongbong will do during the Feb 25 holiday remembrance. Will he declare Aug 21 as a holiday? Its pretty awkward but hey, if they rewrote history, they can scrap these events and even remove Ninoy and Cory from the 500 peso bill because he has to put his signature there. Ninoy might be thinking "Mali yata ako, the Filipino is NOT worth dying for"
It's really sad but true. The Philippines really is not worth fighting for. On the flip side I don't think the middle to upper class of our country would be affected too much. Since although we are shitt, Our country provides in demand resources such as iron, coconuts, service oriented jobs and etc. So growth may shrink but will probably increase. But upward social mobility is really a pipe dream for the poor unless they go abroad. The rich and the middle can probably continue with their lives with a bit inconvenience and price increases.
The electorate in general is providing just how ignorant people are. Part of me is glad its just not an American problem. Sometimes I wonder if we're worthy of democracy as a collective society. The society you have depends on who you vote for.
Bruh XD you think filipino people are dumb there is a reason why he won need to dig deeper and find what is true and whats propaganda im not going to say what is what to avoid being bias you deside
Humans in general are ignorant Republicans invaded Philippines using American Tax payers before. While in Philippines we keep allowing foreign countries to control us by not supporting institutional reforms just like in USA supporting doupoly politics and imperialist institutions.
The PDP part wasn't founded by Aquino though. The PDP(Partido Demokratiko Pilipino) was founded by Aquilino Pimentel on February 6, 1982. The LABAN(Lakas ng Bayan) party was founded by Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1978. Both parties merged as PDP-LABAN in February 1983
