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 hello, welcome to the program, i am hush am abolla surgeon and marcus junior has been inaugurated as president of the philippines. his father was a controversial leader there didn't mark a senior who was forced out of office in 1986 popular uprising manny say he wasn't a to aquatic leader. how killed jail or disappeared. thousands of opponents during his 21 years in office. and more than 30 years since his father fled 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 into gun. in manila, see burden rewarded after more than 30 years. the rehabilitation of the marcus name in the philippines is nearly complete gothic bongo marcus junior. the only son in name sake of the country is late dictator, is now its next president, after winning an unprecedented $31000000.00 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 the 3rd day there is more parade and pomp 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 matter. no. looking back in anger or nostalgia in the road ahead, the immediate months will be rough. but i will walk that 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 charity, be 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, see, although the past has a way of catching up with the present, the conscious future under mark as junior, has yet to be written in. 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 alban cumber assistant professor of joseph cabell. school of international studies, university of denver in the philippines, city of martina danilo, a route,

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 of the supposedly democratic system that replaced the markets dictatorship after $986.00. 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 dionysus in the countries who opted the revolution. and hence, we had a lot of functions. i mean the philippines, as one of the most concentrated growth on earth for q, reaches families to come 76 percent need to create the growth in 2011 up to 83 percent of the philippine congress is dominated by political dynasties. i mean, these are mind boggling numbers. and of course,

the pandemic in recent years has also made the poverty gains and developmental gains also. they were reversed in many ways. so the return of the market, this is really counter lucian. it's. it's a way by which the mark, this is we're able to exploit people's frustration. we want to replace their fathers regime and now they're back in power in alliance with the terry. the still remain really, really potent force. and politics of this is someone who's going to face, he is challenges ahead. but given the landslide victory, do you think that he would feel enough confident to pursue an aggressive political agenda? i feel like he will likely be able to push back against start off this like prevention backlash against his policies. he, you know, he was elected with 31000000 like the of like off the latino voters. yes. a strong base. there's a strong coalition of leads around him and you know, he would 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 an infrastructure and a strong state. i guess the opposition, of course it's going to be a bit different. he will reward a different job 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 policies relatively up on 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 marcus, senior. however, he is 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 his father. yes, that's true. this information is the name of the game right now and it seems to be, but normally they shot us not to mention that there is a shot refreshed on. of course, it's through

a chart mention they sean paul. but we also found the fact that the mark was asked for this or more than 30 years now. they really intend to make, i'm back to and young and they did so not to be there saturday to for them to be given the chance. but for them to get themselves, and that is to be the most, the big sean, something that's about a little universe. if you don't mind by saying that it's mainly because that is important. mean sean mainly because of this part of the game. and that's why there's a need to fight back. and richard explain this to us. i mean, you have a new president whose father was accused of plundering, almost $10000000000.00 during his reign of the family itself has been involved in

tax evasion schemes. tell people seem to forget those things and say, you know what, let's move ahead with marcus 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 there in many countries all around the world. in fact, if you look at nice perception index, for instance, the levels of the information, the philippines is similar to colombia 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 if they educational system is not incorporating the critical thinking that will help them to see with this information. this information is more appealing to people if people, for instance, are frustrated with them and don't see any prospect or break out performance,

for instance. so i think to look at just information alone. you're missing, you're just scratching the surface and you're not looking at structural buffers. that are coming to picture not to mention that they said had, for instance, started that there did the presidential daughter or 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 aligns 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. so that by source, traditionally there. so he's trying to also show that he can independent from other houses, including the house and try to be in his way, at least a unifying leader focusing on economic recovery and infrastructure development. alva, to break down this a path to words the presidency was the monkish 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, danilo and richard recorded are both correct on this. 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, as what richard said, the rights of the labor of the, the come back of the liberal in the 1980s in the 9th and eighty's and the failure of stealing government, the words meaningful 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 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 mark or you have college educated people voting for mark us. you have people with masters degree people would be age these in some sort of dataset. they sort of great this idea that education is a factor. and i disagree with this because i'm out 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 news websites. 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 that i will be there. he's administration because he knows that the li billed the papers time will be there. but of course, he will never the last the justify the refresh on the day and for the same reason that are based as far as his father is also very much in how you regard then even if the president didn't seek him that much, i can did there he was even use of the, you know, a drug. but remember the last, 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 organizations where shut down because of the blocking our website be on the or there's always be way back once

more so we would see that we'd be so that's why she would have to happen even within the ranks of need. yeah, that's the difference between the mark was and the shot in the flash that meet the we're not progress so much, but right now the red gate has become so intense that you've been joined. the lists are pretty c, sean b r bagging richard. you mentioned earlier, the alliance between the 2 powerful dynasty is the deterred t side of the taxi, and marcus junior, which, 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 markers this, do, we'll try to do all the 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 author, rival arrivals 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 life i life for life. we did it there just. they attended the inauguration of started the 3rd in the saw, the said will take care of you. but at the same thing, mark was in the 1st hours after he 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 roy. one of the key are lecturing to campaign that brought the 2 all together. he didn't give it to her. in fact, in support, this is on because martin tomorrow this to take over the speaker of the house. what

does it say? it says that the marcus is we'll 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 markets 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 ranks poorly 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 foreign 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 the bill, bill marcus would likely do the same and to some extent, dis harkins back to how his father governed the philippines in the 1960 to the 1980 s. 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 would have to be coordinated with international players and domestic players. it builds this legitimacy because it makes it that the, or he is doing something. and more importantly, it creates a legacy for him and his family for his, for the market and 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 whitewashed, 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 19 pandemic. $60000.00 would be those 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, the based on the refund policy pronouncements 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 need but. 2 nobody's perspective. so we can see here more 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 the class 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 will be concerned. and part of the reason is that the document a bed so much that i didn't leave the box. but i was to pay you back your true dentist, a shot you have to do that. and in fact, being back, i'm actually boarding that will even be on the market division. richard marcus will inherit from the deter t, the bloody war on the drug policy. and the supplements that he made were the rebel

glue gross. do you see him continuing with that legacy? or do you see him charting his own course? right. as far as i know, i mean, based on conversation, we saw the cabinet members. i mean, there are a lot of internal debates and i think markets policies still fluid how it going to stand on things. even though the infrastructure issue, which, you know, scholars like i'll be, have extensive written on. there is an internal debate on whether they're going to go public private partnership, or they're going to rely more on foreign financing and government financing. and also in the shop talk station should increase the top that you have you spoken live enough on the drug war? i believe there's also going to be a lot of internal discussion. so that deter this, including vice president, started there. it was also depart educations to get buried. and other lawyer, least of the 3rd that will push for the continuation of a drug war. almost a start the scope, but mark himself recognizes that the drug war had been the bi headache for the philippines that had lions. it undermines root law, it turns off a lot of investors. so he has suggested that he may tweak it a little bit,

for instance, more focus on surgical operations against big fish, drug lords, right, more focused on the patient. i think at least on the optics level, he's going to make some changes and tweaks. so he thinks we'll do better. but the big question though is, will he allow the international criminal court 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 foreign 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 distance 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 following the footsteps of the 3rd day. and i feel like that's partially true in as much as the

marcus government will need the chinese government at the same time. he will also need the american government. you will always have institutionally disabilities, 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 whether the culture via the vote and the question of like religion politics here, china dos give opportunities, the marcus government to do our. ready leech through particular for and projects birth through like foreign project into some other, more the financing and, and 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 now they're going to miss you may be, there is always a question of how do you, why do you look at how do you extend your power at the president and to me that goes back to having foreign financing, whether it's budget deficit strategy,

or it's a public private financing. it's all about why they look at, 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 his differences. is this something which is going to definitely have an impact on his future relationship with china? yes, definitely. and us are the 2 gentlemen mention the relationship with china will still be there if it needs to be seen. whether or not my boss will pursue an independent part in policy and whether or not you wouldn't have the political will to do. so. what is the point reason that is for that region, power poles in best? still main thing, most relations with china, given that no investments coming from that particular 130,

some in separate households right now and be practically invested in bar use that force. and that's not to say that they are surpassing the brass cents u. s. national corporation. 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 it 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 its act together, if they don't learn to write lessons and do the proper smore 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 far away countries like congress in turkey, re, by yacht semi competitive electrons, semi free media. but, you know,

was going to ruin the country, which coalition will be in charge for the foreseeable future. good. so to darian alban, come by the middle a row. thank you very much indeed, i really appreciate your insights and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, algebra 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, twitter, i'll 100 is a inside. so for me, i am on the bottom of the entire team, into my for now on counting the calls g. 7 leaders latest plans to squeeze rushes economy over the war and ukraine. we take a closer look at some of the financial pledges they've made. boss what's next for sri lanka. as it's economic crisis deepens and the crumbs one dr. counting the cost
