than 30 years after his father was pushed out from power. but will he unify the nation or bring back his father's controversial legacy? this is inside story. ah, ah hello, welcome to the program, i am hush am abolla ferdinand. marcus junior has been inaugurated as president of the philippines. his father was a controversial leader, ferdinand bark, a senior who was forced out of office in 1986 popular uprising. manny say he was not aquatic leader. how killed jail or disappeared. thousands of opponents during his 21 years in office. and more than 30 years since his father played the philippines, his son is now in power after winning a landslide victory,

promising to tackle inflation and struggling economy. but when his father's legacy proved too much of a challenge were bring in our guests in a moment. first, this report from jemila an inner gun in manila, the burden room workers after more than 30 years. the rehabilitation of the marcus name in the philippines is nearly completely gutted bongo marcus junior, the only son in name sake of the country is late dictator, is now its next president, after winning an unprecedented 31000000 votes. the marcus is, are considered one of the most infamous political families in asia, and their name has long been synonymous with decadence and abuse of power. they ruled the philippines from 1965 until 1986 when they were ousted through a people power revolution. the president of the republic. oh boy, philippines,

his inauguration and thursday is noticeably more grand than those of his predecessors aquino. and to that day there is more parade and pump than usual. but his speech focused less on the style j and more on reconciliation. we will build back better by doing things in the lives of the experiences agree of hug both good and bug. it doesn't mother. no looking back in anger or nostalgia in the road ahead. the immediate months will be rough. but i will walk got road with you. the market resurgence is the result of a decades long well funded campaign to revise history in this year's election online propaganda coupled with the marcus families, vast wealth and their alliance with the 3rd day by the way, 1st presidency. but his administration is expected to face

a tough road ahead. the country is facing its worst economic crisis and decades. its education and public health systems are in shambles, and society is deeply polarized across the capitol. several activists have been arrested by police an all too familiar scene during his father's regime. but historian say, although the past has a way of catching up with the present, the conscious future on their mark as junior has yet to be written. and so there is little choice, but to give it a chance to unfold, jamal alan, dog and al jazeera manila. ah, let's bring in a guess in manila, butchered he darian columnist of the philippine daily enquirer in denver alvis cumber assistant professor of joseph called bel school of international studies university of denver in the philippines city of martina danella, around

a convenor of the election watchdog contra dia, welcome to the program. richard, what does the revival of the marcus political dynasty mean for the philippines? well, in many ways, this marks are decades long frustration of ordinary people with a dysfunction soft, the supposedly democratic system that replace the markets dictatorship after 1986. i mean that revolution was supposed to bring about the progressive order. it what happened was the liberal, all the works in the country. what happens was political dynasty in the countries who opted that revolution. and hence, we had a lot of these functions. i mean the philippines, as one of the most concentrate, the drawers on earth, 40 reaches families to come, 76 percent of nearly great, the growth in 2011, up to 83 percent of the philippine congress is dominated by political dynasties. i mean, this are mind boggling numbers. and of course,

the pandemic in recent years has also made the poverty gains and development del gains. also, there were reverse in many ways. so the return of the market, this is really counter revolution it's, it's a way by which the marquesas were able to exploit people's frustration with what their place, their fathers regime. and now they're back in power in alliance with the de terry. this still remains really, really important force and to live in politics. alvin. this is someone who's going to face huge challenges ahead. but given the landslide victory, do you think that would fill enough confidence to pursue an aggressive political agenda? i feel like he will likely be able to push that against start off dislike prevention backlash against his policies. he, you know, he was elected with 31000000 like the philippines voters. yes. a strong base. there's a strong coalition of leads around him, and he will likely focus on having his own think of policies that are somewhat

a spin off that the policy. so in independent foreign policy, i focus on infrastructure and a strong state, i guess the opposition. of course it's going to be a bit different. he will reward a different type of elite and he will focus on a different that the agenda to some degree. but i think he will have some degree of popular mad, some popular mandate to push forward his own policy. and the most from i would say, you know, a potential public backlash denila. this is someone who is going to be home to buy the legacy of his father ferdinand mark a senior. however, he's not willing to defend himself from that legacy or at least denounce it, which is going to create some confusion about those who suffered under the era of of his father. yes, let's do. this information is the name of the game right now, and there seems to be ben, mar my is a sean knew us not to mention that institutionalization repression. of course,

it's little hard men shuns for station or equal, but we have to also take into account the fact that the mark was there some prepared for this or more than 30 years now. they really intend to make well and young and they did so because there seems to be who for them to be given a chance, but for them to either bentley or gate, i'm themselves america. if that needs to be close to fiction, something that's about a little university, mostly madness. if you don't mind my in saying that it's mainly because of the recent automation. mainly because you started so then i yes and that, that game. and that's why there's a need to fight back and to push back. richard, explain this to us. i mean, you have a new president whose father was accused of plundering, almost $10000000000.00 during hayes brain. and the family itself has been involved

in tax evasion schemes. still people seem to forget those things and say, you know what, let's move ahead with the locust family. yes, i mean, i completely agree with bonilla and a lot of journalists and colleagues to emphasize that all of this information. but there was a reason why i emphasize systemic frustration because this information is bare in many countries all around the world. in fact, if you look at misperception index, for instance, the levels of the information, the philippines, a similar to columbia, to mexico, to brazil. and yet those countries keep on let, the more progressive leaders spend the philippines. so we're forgetting, for instance, the dysfunctions of the opposition in the philippines, lack of unity among them. but more importantly, we are also forgetting the fact that this information is a most, i mean people are most receptive to decent information. and if the educational system is not in calculating the critical thinking, that will help them to seats with this information. this information is more appealing to people. if people, for instance, are frustrated with system and don't see any prospect or break out performance,

for instance. so i think to look at just information alone, you're missing your discretion to surface and you're not looking at structural buffers that are coming to picture. not to mention that they said had, for instance, started the 3rd, the presidential daughter for my presidential daughter, had she decided to run for the presidency. i'm not sure if mark as junior, without even stating the rates, never mind winning 58 percent of the vote. so that alliance with the 3rd, this was also very important. contingent factor that meeting victorious, but nonetheless, correct. i agree with alvin, that marcus will try to play his own game. i mean, clearly he's trying to be its own man. if you look at his cabinet appointments, he's putting a lot of lawyer list just wanted advice source traditionally there. so he's trying to also show that he can an independent from other houses, including the house that they're there, and try to be in his way, at least a unifying leader focusing on economic recovery and infrastructure development. alva, to break down this path towards the presidency, was the mancha family taken advantage of what richard said, basically, which is

a long frustration with a dysfunctional political establishment, or was it a family that knew how to use social media in a way or another to reinvent itself because ultimately when you have younger generation voting, they tend to forget the past. it's a bit of both. i mean dynamo and richard record are both correct on this. like structurally speaking, you cannot disentangled this information and education. and that said, the political mobilization of a family from the structural context where it exists. the philippines is what richard said, the rights of the labor of the come back of the liberal in the 1989, the 19 eighties and the failure of stealing government. the words made for reform to the same time. you do the same time you while you have this polarization and started the philippine context. you do have political maneuvers going on. it's got going on that's about i do want to highlight. but richard said, and i completely agree, i completely agree with this. the rule of education is extremely important and

a couple of social scientists have come up, come up with the idea that, oh, you know, if you take a look at the people voted for marcos, do you have college educated people voting for marcus? you have people with masters degrees, people would base these in some sort of dataset. they sort of grade this idea that education is not a factor. and i disagree with this because a lot of the studies that say that education is not a factor. they use data sets that, that, that look at education in terms of categories like primary, secondary and tertiary. but i bet if we have a better data set that looks at the quality of education, then we could actually say that education is indeed a major factor as to why people voted for marcos. than in the few days before the integration of the government decided to shut down the use website butler. is this something which is likely to be further consolidated by markers? or do you think that he will be under pressure to to reinstate it

back? the thumb expanse, he will, i will be there. he's administration because he knows that he build the papers. time will be there, but of course he will never the last to justify the refresh on the day and for the same lease on a fast for his father. is also very much in how you regard them even if the president. busy didn't see him that much. i can did there. he was even use of the you know, a drug. but remember the last are, these are very bad signs for media. it's not just been under the administration on just me, our website will not be out there. and i just need the shots were shut down because of the blocking our website the on the or there's always be way back once

more so we would see that in the be. so that's why she would have to happen even within the run. so yeah, that's the difference between the mark and the shot in the flash that meet the way not progress so much. but right now the red gate has become so dense that you've been joined. the lists are pretty station on be bagging. richard, you mentioned earlier, the alliance between the 2 powerful dynasty is the deter t. the taxi and marcus junior. wish, by the way, for marcus to take over, in this case, is he going to end up being politically beholden to saturday, 30 for the rest of his tenure? you know, i agree with the denila that, i mean, if you look at the mark is, is do, will try the order rights for instance, to make themselves look good internationally, right?

i mean, look at the non duration speech. it was mostly in english, very sophisticated prose. got a lot of high level dignity, ours. see one thing prove the world and in the same way that kind of strategy i think also apply to the order rival or rivals for our lease. for that matter, i mean on one hand, of course the market this will say where i live for life. that's exactly what presidential sister i me, mark with senator mark is that we're going to be i life i life for life. we did it there just they attended the inauguration of started the 3rd in the solve, the said will take care of you. but it the same thing. look at, mark was in the 1st hours after who won the presidency of the order in one she didn't use are the 3rd the, the cabinet position. she was asking for, which was the point of national defense. instead, marcus chose to give it, for instance, to a former general, more traditionally person. he didn't give the department the 1st lawyer that gave it the traditionalist. all so and then in the speaker of the house, for instance, everyone thought it is going to give it, for instance, to former president arroyo, one of the key are lecturing to campaign that brought the to all of this together. he didn't give it to her, in fact, supported his on because the martin tomorrow to take over the speaker of the house

. what does it say? it says that the market will try to do the bare minimum to avoid major divisions, fault lines, and fights with other houses. but at the same time, they'll try to consolidate their own hold and power and push their own agenda. and i think if ever barcus, which is for constitutional change, that's where we're going to see a lot of divisions. definitely the just want more federalism more dysentery, the centralization of power, but markets may have his own ideas about the strong, strong, centralized oven. tomorrow, the president will have to deal with issues such a country which runs ported when it comes to the global corruption assessment, which he is suffering from under developed infrastructure. how can he move forward to rebuild this country? so he will legally continue that the government's focus on infrastructure. so getting a lot of for a government loans, particularly from china,

asian development bank in japan and pushing the budget to sort of like financing a lot of this projects. so under the 3rd, the government pursued a budget deficit strategy called to build the build marcus would likely do the same . and to some extent, this harkins back to how his father govern the philippines. in the 1967, i think i think the focus on infrastructure is really, really important. if it is done successfully, it can, it can lead to employment in place people, it rewards local business elite because infrastructure projects will have to be coordinated with international players and domestic players. it builds this legitimacy because it makes it that b or he is doing something. and more importantly, it creates a legacy for him and his family, for his, for the market is to continue on winning future elections. should his son or like sister run for hire possessions, danella in a way or another? if you would like to why, why watch whitewash. the legacy of your father?

you need to, you need projects, you need to bring the nation something new. in this particular case, you have a president who takes over a nation, which has been massively hit by coven 9 team pandemic. 60000 vehicles were killed in that. and you have an economy which is moving towards a recession. and you have an inflation, which is causing huge problems for the country. how do you see him getting enough revenues to be able to implement some of the pleasures he made during his election campaign? well, based on the refund policy pronouncement, we're seeing more access to be more access or more. and of course, maurier more dependent on boarding investments. if you go by appointments off of the next step now they have a more liberal and nobody's perspective. so we can see here more would be in terms

of export oriented rule for investment economy and something that's them. so that's why it's going to be very, very challenging for the order. and even if they don't get the e that they need and the micro in small, in their process will also software. i said it's all i don't want to be, i don't say you're here by right now. really not so from being in so far in front of me would be concerned. and part of that he saw him on the bed so much that i didn't leave the box out of a bath is true. janet a shot have to do that. and if, in fact being back, i'm actually boarding that will even go beyond this region. richard marcus will inherit from the deter t, the bloody war on the drug policy. and the supplements that he made with the rebel

glue gross. do you see him continuing with that legacy or do you see him charting his course? right. as far as i know, i mean, based on conversation with some of his cabinet members. i mean, there are a lot of internal debates, and i think up marquess policy still fluid. how is he going to stand and thinks it's not even not the infrastructure issue, which are, you know, scholars like alvin of extensive to written on are, there's an internal debate on whether they're going to go public private partnerships, or they're gonna rely more on foreign financing and government financing and also, and each of taxation should increase the taxes, the half is go cancellation up or the drug war, i believe there's also going to be a lot of internal discussion. so the deterred this, including vice president, cited there was also born of educations ticket barry and other lawyer, least of that there that will push for the continuation of the drug war. almost a start the school. but mark was himself recognizes that the drug war has been a big headache for the philippines. bad head lions, it undermines root law, it turns off a lot of investors. so he has suggested out that he may tweak it

a little bit, for instance, more focus on surgical operations against big fish, drug lords, right, more focus on the stations. i think at this under optics level, he's going to make some changes and tweaks. so he think things will look better. but the big question though is, will he allow the international criminal court to investigate the drug war under the previous president? because that could potentially lead to the prosecution of the previous president. oh, great conflict. we didn't polish all village talk funny policy here when it comes to china. on one hand, he badly needs support from the chinese government. but do you think that this is a moment where he will have to dispense for himself from china and embrace more of american policies? so i don't think so. i feel like it, you know, people like people have written that the market is going to be, you know, following the footsteps of the 3rd day. and i feel like that's partially true in as

much as the market. the government will need the chinese government at the same time. he will also need the american government. you will always have institutionally. the philippines will always be tied to the united states. whether it's about exporting labor to the united states or foreign direct investment or trade. you can have to disconnect from the united states at the same time. there is a question of political survival and that a question of relational politics here. china dos give opportunities to the market government to do our. ready leech through particular for and projects birth through like foreign project meant to some other more the financing and, and as much as i agree that as well. and this goes back to infrastructure, and as much as i agree that it's fluid and i've done feel work here both in the out and then start to finish my ph. d. there is always a question of how do you, why do you look at, how do you extend your power as the president? and to me, that goes back to having foreign financing, whether it's a budget deficit strategy or it's

a public private financing. it's all about toward the local, at least to keep production power. denila is he going to be in a way or another, overshadowed by the maritime tutorial dispute with china? and we know that recently they have had an issue, particularly about the joint exploration of energy in the south china sea, which decided to shell because of huge difference is, is this something which is going to definitely have an impact on his future relationship with china? yes, definitely, and us are that the gentleman mentioned the relationship with china will still be there if it needs to be seen. whether or not my boss will pursue an independent body policy and whether or not you have the political will to do so. what is the point reason for that region, powerful invest storming, being most relations with china, given that no investments coming from that particular 130,

some in several holds right now and be practically invested in our use that source . and that's not to say that they are surpassing the sense us transnational corporations. and so i think it will be a balancing act for you at the station. the main thing, stronger base with china on right. ok. but at the same, i still have relations with other countries, especially they like richard in less than 20 seconds. 1986, a quino took. so i took o took over after the after departure of marcus people thought this was going to be the end of dictatorship. now it's the return of the marcus. how do you see the few? so philippines, i think if the opposition doesn't get it's up to get or if they don't learn to write lessons and do the proper, more them, the most likely outcome for the philippines is what political science is called a hybrid regime. the philippines could end up more like neighboring countries like militia or are we countries that congress and try to revise your semi competitive

electrons, semi free media, but you know, was going to route the country which coalition will be in charge for the foreseeable future. good. so to darian of income, the middle of all, thank you very much and i really appreciate your insights and thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, al jazeera dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. i'll 100 is at a j inside. so for me, ash amount about on the entire team into bye for now. aah! and a july
