this investigative reporter, he fears the online battle for robledo has already been lost. it's just, she's just too late in the game. she was not early enough about that. she did. he was not though that this is happening. she did not act fast enough. the bag, all of us, and you have to off understand. she was busy fighting against the doubt administration . so she had her hands die for survivors of the marcus dictatorship. the prospect of another market in the country seat of power is unthinkable. judy, turkey wallow, was detained. twice under the dictator and is shocked by the rhetoric she finds online. you know that marcia look, period was the golden years that there were no killings during the dictatorship that they were not caught up. these are disinformation because the evidence, the fact that documentation have shown that marcia law, group 8 there a vast flood suppression, human rights violations, massive got up shows and blending but monday's winner only needs to get more votes than any one else. and polls indicate marcus junior, like his father before him, might ev

tell us why indeed were lenny robledo, she is a trained economist as she is a lawyer. she's perceived. i do have what it takes to be able to run an economy. and just in general, her agenda and her platform has been a lot more detailed and a lot more transparent. she has published plans as to how to boost fisheries and in industries like fisheries and agriculture. how to expound the social net, how to promote the digital economy, whereas sell bumble marcus, his platform has been a bit more a bit more vague. as i was saying earlier, he also doesn't submit these policies up to scrutiny. for example, he doesn't join presidential debates, he doesn't answer the questions of journalists. so it's really hard to know what he is thinking when it comes to the economy, really. and as we know, businesses, they don't like uncertainty and they don't like being not being able to see through to him. now, do you see the outcome of this election materially affecting people in an economy where unemployment is rising or prices are right? well if past is prologue christoph, it's really hard

junior, who goes by the nickname bung bung, had more than double the votes of his challenger. lily robledo, speaking to his supporters on tuesday, marco's junior urged people to judge him by his actions, and not by his family history. his when marked to return to power of the marco's family, which is accused of running a brutal dictatorship before our people power revolution restored democracy in the eighty's. on monday, he thanked his supporters for their work. i want to thank you for all you have done for us. there are thousands of you out there volunteers parallel groups. political leaders that have cast their lot with us because of their belief in our message of unity because of their belief in the candidates. hundreds of human rights activists and students have been demonstrating against the outcome of the ball. and what appears to be a landslide victory for marco's, the protest us clash with police close to the officers of the philippines election committee. they are denouncing what they claim irregularities. after some vote counting machines broke authorities here the number of mach

whereas in contrast, the vice president, lenny robledo, his closest rival, was the biggest victim in the campaign of this information. now, he has been able to do this also in part because he has a tactic of avoiding hard questions from the media. he pre selects who gets to attend his conferences. he avoids, he's very selective about will. he gives interviews to and you know, just as an addict, aren't we applied for accreditation to cover the mark was junior rally, but we were denied the rally. and the other reason is his partnership with sarah to target, who's the daughter of the incumbent president. she herself is running for vice president. and even though voters vote for these positions separately, he's been able to leverage on the deterred a strong role in the south and combined that with the mock or strong hole in the north. but of course, if you speak to a supporters, they'll say that it is message of unity. even though it's simple and it's ambiguous, resonates with under my own dog and has been following many robledo who's also holding her final pre election rally bursey, tho

that's where lennie robledo is holding her rally. and jamila greater strong track record is vice president, plenty of grass roots support. but how is her campaign furred well, it starts at quite differently. as you know, she may be the leader of the opposition, but she's also one of the most harassed attacks members of the opposition over the last 6 years, nearly 6 years since president rodrigo did that there was worn into office. now when she ran her campaign, which is 2 and she declared for again to this, you basically said that she does not have enough funds, does not have enough facility infrastructure to run a national campaign. but you know, this is turned out to be quite different in a country where traditionally national candid candidates are on the 3 things, popularity, money, and family connections. and she didn't have that. but what we're seeing is unprecedented. we're seeing a grassroots sector road campaign. young people, mostly campaigning for our president, are reluctant candidate. in fact, so mean traditionally the su

now in contrast, his closest rival, lenny robledo, has been the victim of that same tool, this information on social media. so pete, many people are saying that if marco's junior wins, than it means truth would have been defeated. and the philippines can be said to be the latest victim in a disinformation campaign that were seen in other parts of the world. and then that there is the other concern given that the philippines is still trying to recover $10000000000.00 stolen by the marcos is given that there are still cases pending against the family given that his mother has been convicted of corruption and it's out on bail pending appeal, well then there is a concern, but if marco's junior comes into power, will that more efforts to recover that wealth and also hold them accountable? all right, thank you very much for all the latest from manila in the philippines, florence louis as those polls open and voters are already starting to cost that balance. thank you. florence watching al jazeera ly from london more still ahead on the program, including all the latest from tunisia west. some peo

can you talk about don't particularly be lenny robledo, you know, melissa, there are 10 candidates running for president in the philippines, but let's focus on the current vice president lennier. brenda. one thing that's very interesting is that in the 2016 elections, vice president robledo ran against bumble marcus and she won the vice presidency by 220000 votes. what about that much? you know, it's very interesting that again we see these 2 running for the same political office. and if i may bring back viewers towards 21986 marcos, the father ran against a woman who was a widow. she was put into the political live night when her husband had died and she ousted him right back in 1086. we see something of that same nature coming together, vice president for brother is also a widow. her husband was the one who was more in the political limelight, though she had many achievements of her own as a politician. and as the human rights lawyer she was put into the presidency. our last mid candidate who won this seems like a crazy sequel. it does, but it's also quite, you can't make this stuff up a

now, a robledo presidency would be more liberal in approach. she's promised to strengthen democratic institutions. she's promised a more transparent government. she's promised that she won't put greater focus one health care on social welfare on education. now, people here say they felt that during the 20 year, more than 35 years after the marcus administration was ousted, that there wasn't enough done for them. the philippines, as a country where nearly a quarter of the population is still very poor. so people do want to see an improvement in their lives and i think it all boils down to who they think can deliver that to them. and florence, let me barbara roberto is popular among younger voters. but does she actually have a chance to win the selection? ah, well, if you look at the groundswell of support for her, if you look at the consistently massive turnouts at her rally's, and these are people who are there because they genuinely support her, they are not there because they were bussed there or encouraged to go there by village heads or loc

in contrast, his closest rival, lenny robledo, now she's been the biggest victim of a campaign of dis information. but if you speak to his voters, they'll say that it's a simple message of unity. that resonates with all the cons. it hoping to beach market is vice president. lenny robledo her rally is being held at a symbolic location. that's where a huge march was held in 1983 off the assassination of a senator who struggled against the marks as regime of radio has run a grassroots campaign against the political elite. and duncan is at the rally. there are already around $300000.00 supporters of vice president lanyard. read the clearly a show of force on the last 8 over can mean when she ran. she was the reluctant candidate. she was no match against the what are very sophisticated and well funded resources of her political arrival, global markets junior. but what has changed really is how she was able to mobilize a grass roots campaign that is completely decentralized and quite different from the previous campaigns. we've covered, we're seeing this is clearly a movement led by the you
