THE DUTERTE VS. MARCOS PROBLEM
00:44.0
Alam nyo mga kabatas natin
00:46.4
Pag nag-away ang cocaine at fentanyl, robust ang makikinabang
00:53.8
Oh, check it out! No nonsense!
00:56.0
Sige, pagbibigyan kita
00:58.1
Mga kabatas natin, ang problema ko dito talaga mga kabatas natin
01:03.8
Pati yung mga foreigners, mga taga-Australian na
01:07.8
Ito, public broadcast service ito, news agency nila mga kabatas natin
01:13.7
Napapansin na yun
01:17.2
Yung mga Pilipino mga kabatas natin, nakikipagbardagulan pa rin
01:23.0
Pag titignan nyo kasi dito mga kabatas natin
01:28.1
Binabanggit sa inyo
01:33.1
Ano ba yung purpose nitong pag-aaway na ito?
01:41.5
Ano ba yung purpose ng pag-aaway na ito?
01:44.3
Mag-i-improve ba yung bansa natin kapag nag-aaway sila?
01:47.3
I bet mga kabatas natin, after this feud
01:50.0
Nagsayang lang ulit sila ng oras na imbes ginamit nila sa paglilingkod bayan
02:01.7
Maraming natuwa sa iyo
02:11.7
They just want power
02:12.8
Both families want power
02:15.2
But if they have, they already wielded the power
02:18.8
Itong mga Duterte, nagkaroon na sila ng kapangyarihan
02:22.9
They are still in power right now
02:24.8
Through Sarah Duterte
02:26.2
Si Bang Bang Margo
02:28.1
And the Marcoses, they already had power and they are also in power right now through Bongbong Marcos.
02:36.3
The first and second highest public officers of the Philippines.
02:45.8
Pointless bickering, sabi ni Sheena Sabili. Totoo yan.
02:50.6
Tignan niyo oh, nasa Australia tayo.

In January this year, a big rally was held in Davao City, the second largest city in the Philippines.
03:00.9
It was billed as a prayer meeting, but there was a lot more swearing, sexy dancing, and threats than you traditionally see at a prayer meeting.
03:09.9
Also, no actual...
03:11.5
Loko-loko rito, Australia. Ayan, prayer meeting daw.
03:17.3
Prayer meeting pero, tignan niyo.
03:19.9
It was billed as a prayer meeting, but there was a lot more...
03:23.0
...more swearing, sexy dancing, and threats than you traditionally see at a prayer meeting.
03:29.6
Mas maraming pagmumurad daw tsaka sexy dancing.
03:33.6
Yan ang nakikita niyo.
03:35.6
Gano'n sa prayer meeting. Ano ba yan?
03:39.6
...no actual religion.
03:41.6
Nakakahiya sabi niya.
03:46.6
Sabi ko sa'yo, pinagtatawalan na tayo eh.
03:60.0
The largest leaders were present. The mayor of Davao City, Bast Duterte, was the first to talk.
04:09.0
And the whole thing kind of became a sort of a roast of the current president of the Philippines, Bongbong Ma.
04:15.0
Niroast daw yung current president of the Philippines?
04:22.0
Tignan niyo naman yung sinasabi nila sa politika dito sa Pilipinas.
04:30.0
Bast Duterte called on President Bongbong Marcos to resign.
04:35.0
On top of that, he seemed to threaten Marcos and his family by reminding him of leaders who were famously murdered.
04:42.0
From now on, before you go to bed, think of the Romanovs.
04:47.0
Benito Mussolini and his wife.
04:50.0
And maybe you'll reconsider the direction that you are taking.
04:60.0
Ano yung foreigner yung nagsabi ha? Tignan niyo. Anong sinabi ng foreigner?
05:05.0
Leaders who were famous. He seemed to threaten President Bongbong Marcos to resign.
05:11.0
On top of that, he seemed to threaten Marcos and his family by reminding him of leaders who were famously murdered.
05:18.0
From now on, before you go to bed, think of the Romanovs.

05:30.0

Then, Bast's dad Rodrigo, who used to be the president, suggested that Bongbong Marcos was a dictator.

05:53.0
Isipin niyo, mga kapatid natin, yung kadramahan na yan, no?
05:58.0
Tapos, tapos yung kadramahan na nangyayari. Parang, parang sobrang low IQ, low level.
06:09.0
Hindi yung mataas na klase. Hindi intelligent type.
06:16.0
May drug addict tayo na presidente. Putang inang yan.
06:21.0
This all, understandably, made news across the Philippines.
06:24.0
And it turned into a bit of a finger-pointing tit-for-tat between the current and former presidents.
06:30.0
Marcos said that Duterte was out of his mind because he's addicted to prescription painkillers.
06:36.0
I think it's the fentanyl.
06:41.0
Tama nga! Fentanyl!
06:46.0
Sino nagsasuffer tayo? Pinagtatawanan na rin tayo ng ibang bansa.
06:56.0
He is the strongest painkiller that you can buy. I hope his doctors take better care of him.
07:04.0
This is all pretty unidentifying stuff. A bit reminiscent of what's going on in America at the moment with Biden and Trump.
07:15.0
But here's the wild part.
07:18.0
Ito, hindi ko nang tindahan yung sinabi niyo. Australian kasi. Here's the wild part.
07:23.0
Duterte's family and Marcos' family are intricately linked.
07:28.0
Sometimes they're rivals, sometimes they're allies.
07:32.0
They are the Montagues and Capulets of the Philippines.
07:35.0
They are, depending on who you ask, the country's most famous statesmen, thieves, murderers or heroes.

The Marcoses and Dutertes have tussled for power for nearly 60 years and now
08:06.0
60 years. Marcos Duterte.
08:13.0
Sige. Tignan niyo yung nangyayari sa politika natin.
08:17.0
Actually, I think part of this is the dynasty.
08:20.0
If you taste power, you crave for it. Diba?
08:29.0
Now, the Dutertes are suggesting they might make their home island of Mindanao a separate country.
08:37.0
Today, the story of the feud literally threatening to tear the Philippines apart.
08:43.0
I'm Matt Bevan and this is If You're Listening.
08:57.0
Nakakatawa na lang tayo, no?
09:02.0
The entanglement of these two families goes back generations.
09:06.0
It was 1965 and Ferdinand Marcos Sr., a handsome and articulate lawyer,
09:12.0
was running for president.
09:14.0
Ferdinand was the patriarch of the Marcos clan, Bongbong's dad,
09:18.0
the first in the family to run for president.
09:22.0
Pero di ba Aquino ang kalaban nito? Hindi naman Duterte.
09:31.0
I've done away with a vicious habit of sleeping.
09:34.0
He was backed by his wife, Imelda, a national style icon.
09:38.0
Mrs. Marcos also sings.
09:40.0
Now, Philippines politics in the 60s were pretty rough.
09:46.0
National elections in the Philippines are probably the jazziest,
09:50.0
the most uninhibited, the most corrupt, and probably the most violent.
09:55.0
The most corrupt and the most violent? Ganun pa rin kaya?
09:59.0
Many election campaigns I've ever heard of.
10:02.0
1965 yun mga kapatid natin, ha?
10:06.0
Most corrupt, most violent.
10:11.0
His campaign was running against Ferdinand Marcos and it was next level.
10:16.0
Why is it being done, do you think?
10:18.0
Because they have no issues against me. Valid issues.
10:21.0
Ads were running accusing him of straight-up murder.
10:23.0
I personally believe that Mr. Ferdinand Marcos killed my father.
10:30.0
It was very Inigo Montoya.
10:35.0
Sino naka-panood nun, Inigo Montoya?
10:39.0
Sino naka-panood nun, Inigo Montoya?
10:41.0
Dun na lang tayo para ano?
10:43.0
On a lighter note, The Princess Bride.
10:46.0
Panoorin nyo yun.
10:47.0
Pero lumang-lumang kanta na yun.
10:49.0
I'm Inigo Montoya.
10:50.0
You killed my father.
10:52.0
Ang problema kasi dito mga kapatid natin, we never learn.
10:60.0
The most violent, most corrupt elections.
11:07.0
It was never proven to be a murderer.
11:11.0
But the Philippines was full of gun violence.
11:14.0
It really was like the Wild West.
11:16.0
You see about 25% of the people of Manila carry a gun.
11:20.0
Outside of drunkenness, the armed citizen of Manila is the biggest headache to the police force here.
11:25.0
Particularly around election time when tempers are just a little on edge and trigger fingers itchier than usual.
11:32.0
Ferdinand Marcos promised to tackle all of this.
11:34.0
He was confident of winning.
11:36.0
I think it's going to be a landslide.
11:40.0
But there was one part of the Philippines which really seemed to not like him.
11:44.0
The southern island of Mindanao.
11:50.0
This island, home to one in three Filipinos, is the place where the dispute between the Dutertes and Marcoses took root.
11:58.0
Like elsewhere, the nation's deep south is full of problems and lovely women.
12:03.0
That's ABC reporter Frank Bennett there.
12:05.0
Yowza, what the deep south had apart from problems and lovely women, apparently, was a lot of Muslims.
12:12.0
For the most part, the mo-
12:18.0
Alright, let's go.
12:19.0
Muslims are poor peasants and fishermen.
12:21.0
Despite the Philippines being majority Catholic, Mindanao and the smaller islands surrounding it were majority Muslim.
12:27.0
But for the last 80 years, huge quantities of Christians have been-
12:31.0
I don't know what to say. I have to go now.
12:33.0
I don't know what to say.
12:37.0
Why don't you try this?
12:38.0
The other vloggers here.
12:39.0
Why don't you try this?
12:43.0
But I have to go.
12:44.0
The phone is ringing.
12:47.0
I have to answer.
12:49.0
Leading to conflict.
12:50.0
Just a little more.
12:51.0
Their problems began in earnest after the Second World War, when Christian settlers in the northern Philippines began to move south in search of land.

Duterte's Challenge Marcos.
13:08.0
Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
13:12.0
Oops, the next one.
13:13.0
Brought with them a culture that had no place for Islamic traditions.
13:18.0
Ferdinand Marcos had polled poorly in Mindanao.
13:21.0
So to win over the locals, he-
13:23.0
What channel is that?
13:24.0
ABC News Indepth.
13:25.0
I'll put it there.
13:26.0
I'll put it here for you to watch.

Yan, yan yung link

Invited the Mindanao governor
13:35.5
to join his cabinet
13:36.6
The governor's name
13:38.4
was Vicente Duterte
13:40.2
It was the first time
13:42.5
the two families came together
13:44.0
Oh, this is good!
13:50.4
Yan, panoorin nyo
13:52.8
Tapos let's talk about it
