Sobre este episodio
The Philippines is bracing for an important presidential election on Monday. Way ahead in the polls is Ferdinand Marcos Jr., also known as Bongbong, and his running mate Sara Duterte. If those names sound familiar, they should: Marcos is the son of the Philippine dictator of the same name, who became notorious for corruption and human rights abuses, as well as his wife Imelda – and her massive shoe collection. Sara Duterte is the daughter of outgoing strongman leader Rodrigo Duterte, whose rule has been defined by – and condemned for – its bloody war on drugs. Many have forgotten the sins of the fathers and are enthusiastically embracing the Marcos-Duterte ticket. But correspondent Ivan Watson found there are still some unnerved by this ‘back to the future’ prospect. His special report is followed by Christiane's interview with Richard Heydarian, author of The Rise of Duterte. Also in today's show: award-winning journalist Farai Chideya, CNN anchor and author Zain Asher. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
