last decade they were really able to, you develop their patronage networks, they were able to develop their media campaigns. and in so doing, they were able to chart the way to restore a marcus again in power and the presidential palace in milan. and young, it also has to be said that there is a sizable portion of the population that also feels like down by the promise of the revolution of $986.00. they say their lives did not improve in the decades following. and thus, a few days the ideals of about revolution. janelle certain, and marcus junior, didn't really have a policy platform. what does his victory concretely mean for the country now? is anything going to change? indeed, as you mentioned, he was deliberately vague. he campaigned on a promise of unity, which to him meant avoiding situations of conflict like debate or journalist

question. he tends to dodge them, but so we don't really know what he's going to do. but there are a few things that might be a few that might be a bit more obvious, like, for example, a preceding government's efforts to recover the wealth about his family still from the state. we can imagine that those efforts will fall under a mark presidency. we also think that the income, the incumbent president, rodrigo declared that he will be shielded from prosecution for the crimes of his drug war, especially as it looks like his daughter is going to be vice president. and those are the thing. can imagine about global markets will do as for the rest, it's all open. that was our correspondent, janelle de malone in manila to know. thank you. policies for the quality of the line to janelle very well. finally, a picture of marilyn monroe by artists anti war whole has fetched
