a new vice president as well as senators and members of congress on the he's joining us from appalling station in the capitol. mellow talk us through what's been happening so far. well the government has declared monday a public holiday, so people get more people can come out to vote. down voter turnout has usually been, has consistently been quite high in philippines. the elections usually around 80 percent is too soon to bring you those numbers. but we have been seeing people queuing out the police station even before polls were opened at 6 in the morning. now polls will stay open till 7 in the evening. those are longer hours than usual. the election commission says this is to accommodate cove at 19 safety measures, but they also said that people outside of polling stations past 7 pm bay will be allowed to vote beyond that time in those areas. now people are not just voting for a precedent and a vice president they. 1 also voting for senators, congress, men voting for local officials may as governess,

deputies counting will take place as soon as voting is closed or there will be no 2nd round. the candidate that wins the most number of boats will be declared, the winner. now, we have already started getting reports of voting irregularities, inconsistencies, as well as vote by in one instance, a vote that was constant not match the voting slip that was issued by a vote counting machine. but it's too early to tell just how wide spread this is. it has to be noted though that in 2016 back general election was considered while i'm considered free and fair. non elections in the philippines in the past can sometimes be march. my political violence and that has happened in this as well. on sunday though, police said that the recorded incidents of poll related violence is far fewer than in the 2016 poles. and also in the mid term elections in 2019 and on this morning

we've also received reports of 3 people being shot dead in a southern province in the philippines, in an election related crime. lawrence, thank you very much and that's florence lou, bring us up to date from the capital manella there for more than this. we're going to be joined by richard handout and he's a political scientist. he's joining us from another very good to have you with us on the al jazeera. i want to talk to you about the, the marcus campaign, the macos family, as is known for having been linked to human rights abuses and, and corruption in the past. and the campaign has been accused of essentially re writing history, and yet, macos further than law has junior does seem to be doing well in the polls. why is it the people in the philippines are willing to accept the old us? oh, well, 1st of all, let's not forget the reason why freeland morgan ginger is doing so well at this based on pre election service, is because presidential daughter's sanitary thing was even an, in an even more doorman position for the vice presidential race,

decided not to contest the presidency, in fact, last year before the elections further than margaret junior was only number 3 in the pre election service, he was at only 13 to 15 percent of the votes. all potential voters while side of the 3rd to was close to a 3rd of preferred voters. eventually those side that there the lacking national off. but paul political experience and having no positioning national governing the past, she decided not to. busy go head to head against the marquesas, but instead set them for the vice presidency. so a huge part more than half of the votes that markers is expected to get to day is because of, sorry, did 30. the number 2 thing we have to keep in mind is this. this is not only about historical memory is not only bought historical amnesia. this is also bought authoritarian nostalgia. yes. the philippines has transition towards democracy over the past 3 decades or so. but you know, if you look at the fundamentals of philip and political system, it's a broken system. 70 to 90 percent of the legislature is dominated by political dynasties for to reach us families to come 76 percent newly created growth. if you

ask an average filippino did they feel that. busy democracy over the past few decades. they don't feed invest that because what they saw was more of a liberal oligarchy at best. and in more recent years, we got what they asked for in 2016, which is ridiculous. it's hard to say. this is all about nostalgia out, but of course, this information ease that beat problem, which raises the question, why something was not done about this earlier. when more f for him, his administration was brain power because pro marcus, revisionist social media accounts have been there since 2000 and tense. this is a more than a decade long process of this information that has helped the marquesas to claude there. we bought the power in the event that the marco's campaign does win. how much of it is it going to be a ma calls leadership and how much of it is going to be influenced by the deterred to family? yeah, i mean as a measure know a while a big part of, of this is really the therapist side of the 3rd,

especially the most likely next vice president riling behind him. now of course, later on, i expect competition between these 2 sides because the mark has this me also their own ideas of what he want to come next in the next election cycle wise. sorry, the 3rd that is now settling for vice presidency, but clearly she has the presidency within the cross years down the road, 6 years down the road. so that's something to watch out for here. now as far as freight and mortgage unit is concerned, he has been having the cake and eating it too. so on one hand, he has the markets name. he has been praising his father. he has been claiming that his father was suppose so well that a genius or provided certainty and stability and progress for the country august, august fox on the ground were otherwise. but at the same time, if you look further the mortgage sooner himself. i mean he, he's very avuncular, he's charming, he's or bane, he's softspoken. busy he has avoided any debate or negative campaigning directly himself. so he has projected this image of a very nice person, so on you can feel comfortable with sad once he's taking advantage of his name's

the strong man legacy of his father. but at the same time, he's projecting a personal, an image of someone who is not threatening someone that you can trust. so, and we can bring unity and peace and love. and all of those mater would statements that have dominated this campaign. i mean, this is a guy who was not bothered to attend a single debate, organized by commission elections of the philippines or any legitimate major media . but that has allowed him to essentially create this corner cordon sanitary, and have the kick in eating to let me oscar. but lenny regret has campaign becomes whatever the outcome of verse she has upon the been able to galvanize a lot of the young people within the philippines. what does that say about a possible changing face or politics? whether within the philippines? if not, know, then at some point in the future, right, we not lose lanyard or brenda will have to have her boss movement behind her. a liberal democracy in the philippines really needs a reboot. it needs a 2nd life. it needs a new narrative. now in this electro, in france,

leonard read the sure. recognize that people want liter new color. that's why the pink color, right? but people want more than that. people want the progressive break with a dysfunctional democracy. otherwise, we're going to get stuck in the group of nostalgic populism and strong men populism represented by the houses of markers in the 3rd. so, lenny, even if she wins, most likely the congress, the senate will be dominated by dr. demarco's allies. the judiciary is traditionally more conservative, so even if she wins today, she will have a hard time ruling as a president unless she has the backing off her a boss movement. and if they don't win today, which is what a lot of surveys are projecting. then she has to become a functioning, a strong opposition leader to constrain the worst instincts of an in calming, potentially coming marcos to tear to administration for years to come. really good to go to folks from this richard, her darian, we appreciate you joining us and i'll just here. so thank you very much. indeed.

work together so that, that's a big question. and the other big question that the biggest, i would say is precisely that the p o really voted for him one day that will address that. when are they going to do? cuz they won't have it because that week as long been recognized as central america's most stable country, applauded for its environmental and moderate economic policies. but many believe that if chavez fails, his presidency could trigger a more and stable and terrible in time for this country. allison around beauty and jessia, measuring lyle as john lees met outgoing hong kong leader carry lumps the 1st time since being named to successor. we was chosen by committee of about 1500 members have been vetted to ensure their loyalty to china. it was the only candidate he's promised to lead to hong kong that's open, vibrant and vigilant. lamb will step down from rural in july. during the meeting
