now we are in manila, in downtown manila, just behind me is the commission on elections had orders where for nearly all day to the there were several groups that were protesting really, mostly from the leader of the opposition's campaign groups and supporters. asking commission on the election officials to come down and face them in person and answer questions over irregularities. julie during election day jamila, what will be the fight of democracy with this new president? ah, that's actually what everybody is wondering about. but people do believe that there are very troubling signs, for example, not only because of global markers junior's heritage. she's the son of a former president. a lead dictates, a ruled with an iron fist in the philippines for more than 20 years. but the fact that there has been really no recognition for all the atrocities committed by the market says by their allies and the corruption. and he himself, also a convicted activator, was facing both a $1000000.00 estate tax problems here and contact cases abroad. and the fact that during the entire campaign, he hard

international relations expert, joseph gregory mahoney, says manila may keep from picking sides in an attempt to maintain a balance between the opposing powers. well, you know, i think that the high question of course is what are the implications with philippines relations with china? and on this matter, we've seen mixed signals from arkansas. he's indicated he favors continuing bilateral ism, which many interpret as a wind for china. and so much that means manila and beijing will deal each other directly and not through other organizations or international partners. primarily, it's largely assumed you'll continue the policies of outgoing president and turkey, given their political alliance, which includes the thirty's daughter, sarah, as marco's vice presidential running mate. marcos is acknowledged oper concerns of those of the military that the built that the philippines should stand. tough with china on some points, but he's also sensitive to the popular desire of not need for more economic cooperation with china. now, manila isn't naive, it knows china won't be the grand solution

now, manila isn't naive, it knows china won't be the grand solution to its development needs, but it also knows that china is not a significant danger to philip and security if relations are manage well. so ultimately, i don't see marco's enthusiastically joining frozen sheet and things, recent call for global security initiative, which major has promoted as being led by china and starting in asia. but i also don't see him following the us into a new cold war. tension is the boiling, i've and armenia well positioned on to this, some blocking off the streets in the capital with police moving in to detain demonstrators. oh, his some of the latest footage from he had a van where clashes interrupted off the protesters refused to leave the streets. police officers have been rounding up some of the activists and taking them away in vans. mass marches the ongoing in several parts of the city. calling for the resignation of prime minister nicole passion, yan activists accused him of plotting to hand over control of the disputed kara back reaching to neighboring as a by john. but he, thanks f

we're going across live now to florence louis again in a manila. hello, there florence, with such a tainted family legacy. how has marcus junior managed to gain so much support that he's now the front runner in these upcoming elections? well, marco's juniors campaign has really been able to take advantage of the fact that half of registered voters in the philippines are too young to remember what his father's rule. what's like going to ever even lived through it. so it's been easy for his campaign to use a video is full of misinformation, dis, information even to paint that period, which was full of corruption and human rights abuses. instead, as a period, it's a golden era for the filipinos and, you know, one reason why has it been able to do that as well? is because he's been able to avoid the hard questions. he's not been very accessible as a presidential candidate. he pre select reports as we get to attend his press conferences. he avoids presidential debates, done justice anecdotal evidence of how inaccessible he is. we are 2 kilometers from h

now from manila ha, protestors gather outside the election commission building to protest against what they say are voting irregularities. some people were unable to vote after at least a $1800.00 vote counting machines. malfunctioned during national elections on monday. then 2 percent of the total number of machines i use in the home eliquis are here because we have seen how sloppy the election commissions work is they had to be used to prepare for this election, but they are competent. they took away that i thought filipinos to board for what they won. the protesters were soon pushed back by police with water cannon and swat teams on stand by. the heavy pushback has long been home out of the outgoing administration incumbent president, rodrigo to 30 had little tolerance for descent or criticism. i know ferdinand marco's junior, whose late father ruled the country for 2 decades and was often described as a dictator, is on cause to win a landslide victory. and with to turn days, daughter sara set to become the vice president. many are concerned, their civil liberties may shrink further

no, we are in manila, in downtown manila, just behind me is the commission on elections headquarters where for nearly all day to the there were several groups that were protesting really mostly from the leader of the opposition's campaign groups and supporters. asking commission on the election officials to come down and face them in person and answer questions over irregularities. julie during election day shall anchors military has been ordered to shoot. anyone seemed to be damaging public property. it follows a night of unrest where at least 7 people were killed after a nationwide curfew was ignored by many police say 8 people died in the demonstrations. the violence on monday prompted prime minister, my hinder roger pox that to resign. we now fernandez has more from colombo, there's been a curfew clamped down since i last evening when the tensions of flared up. and this has meant that while there are many people on the roads, there are in fact people looking around at scenes like that. you see over my shoulder 3 burning buses and one behind that as well. so a total of 4 are the l

it's been to florence louis who is in manila for us on this florence lenae la brett rebrand door has been trailing quite far behind in all the election surveys. is it still possible for her to win? well, if you look at the groundswell of support for her, just a huge turnout at the rally on saturday night, and the numbers have been consistent. they have been huge crowds and her rallies in her. if you, if you look at the were, and you'd be, look at how these people who are there are there because they jenman the supporter . not because they've been encouraged or buston by local community leaders or village heads. if you look at the way volunteers have been going from house to house, to canvass for votes for her, then there is a genuine sense of optimism and hope among her supporters. that lenny may still be able to win the elections on monday. the hoping that her message or promising to deliver a competent and carrying government for filipinos will help sway vote as to her side. but she does face obstacles and it is going to be a difficult battle. she has been one of the big. she has b

my colleague karishma vaswani's in manila. good morning to you. just after 10am there. more than 67 million eligible voters. a record number. what is turnout looking like? figs record number. what is turnout looking like?— looking like? as you can see at this polling _ looking like? as you can see at this polling station, _ looking like? as you can see at this polling station, it - looking like? as you can see at this polling station, it is - looking like? as you can see at this polling station, it is one i this polling station, it is one of the biggest in manila. there are lots of people really keen on casting their vote today. this polling station alone is going to see something like 32,000 people throughout the day, we have been told, by organisers, and across the country from what the commissioner of election from the philippines organisers have told us is we are looking at something like 18— 19% perhaps. earlier, it was predicted that we could well see the highest turnout ever in any election in the philippines at this time around and i think that shows the st

and of course, haslinda, you are live in manila. a former philippine dictator's son winning a landslide. give us a sense of what the feeling is on the ground. haslinda: well, fair to say that people have spoken. in fact, it has been such a massive victory, at least when it comes to the preliminary counting so far, were talking about garnering more than 30 million votes. that's more than double what his closest rival has secured. and of course, more than what did at the last election, so a massive victory for marcos. it all depends on what policies are implemented and how much clarity he can get to the markets. rishaad: absolutely and that's it. good time to get a sense of the spirit were going to bring an end live strategist mark cranfield. mark, were not catching a break here, are we? mark: no. it's a continuation of a negative theme, which has been running for some time. and we are certainly in the capitulation stage now, where people are trying to adjust portfolios, trying to get rid of anything which they are not certain about.

we will take you to manila for the latest.

but there have been quite some struggle here in manila and across the country. we've spoken to voters and say, they've been here as early as 8 am. and yet their phones have yet to be counted. that's because of the reported breakdown of more than 1800 boat counting machines across the country. so there is an option for many voters to just leave their ballots. so that when the replacement of all these voting machines arrive, the full watchers will be able to electronically submit them. but that's something that many voters here do not want. they want to be able to make sure that their votes are counted and that they get a receipt of their boats. now it actually reveals the level of trust and the commission on elections. i mean, this is a common complaint all day today, and we are in the one of the biggest voting precincts in manila, one of the biggest boat registration, biggest rich, biggest voter registration across the country. and so there's this sense that they really do want to make sure that their voices are heard. there's also this concern of violence in th
