and as our south east asia correspondentjonathan head reports, this remarkable comeback has been achievedion and by burnishing the image of a family which remains very rich and influential. she's a sitting vice president with a fine record of public service and no taint of corruption. on paper she should be a dream candidate. yet throughout this election she's found herself trailing far behind the front runner. people are saying this is among the most passionate campaigns ever seen in the philippines. thousands of these people have taken time off work trying to narrow a lead taken by her rival a man with a name, once a byword for greed and brutality but also in theory to make him unelectable. it's been 36 years since president marcos and his notorious wife imelda that were driven into exile by what's known here as the people power revolution. now their son bongbong wants to reverse history and retake the presidency. he may lack his father's charisma, the cheering here is much for the entertainment that comes with every filipino campaign. yet he's way ahead in the polls. one reason, his al
