@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista We're LIVE! Watch Rappler's pre-elections panel discussion here:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista Rappler reporter @piaranada, who covers Isko Moreno’s presidential campaign, says Isko proved to be a candidate "agile and creative" enough to respond to controversies.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@piaranada on Duterte personalities showing up for Isko: It didn't surprise me. The similarities between Duterte and Isko are striking. Isko wouldn't be a controversial choice for them to make.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@piaranada: I wasn't surprised that he made criticisms against Marcos Jr. or Robredo. What I was surprised was how much it dominated his speech. The high points of his speech last night were 'yung mga jabs niya.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand on Isko's bid: He's the biggest "what if" of this election season. Many people think he might actually have a chance. Many in the opposition wanted him to run, wanted to coalesce behind him. Even Robredo was ready to follow him.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand: The pivot to Duterte was because he was exposed as not a genuine opposition figure. They've been referring to him as "Duterte lite." He's trying to appeal to the same resentment I guess that Duterte ran on.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand: In my view there was a spectacular flaming out of his candidacy. Because he flamed out, we can ask ourselves, what if he stuck to the messaging? At certain point he just lashed out.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand: I have to credit [Isko] for bringing out the P203B tax issue. He was the first one to do that in the debate.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@escchrista on social media sentiment on Isko's shift in messaging: May certain respect naman for Isko for forwarding himself as an alternative candidate, pero noong hindi na naging consistent yung messaging niya, doon na nag-die down.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand on Isko's rhetoric: It is very worrying, especially when you consider what a Marcos victory will mean for the Philippines. It will be an attempt to repudiate our own history, even if [Isko] does not actually buy into that.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand: What if he somehow transforms himself into the logical successor of a Ferdinand Marcos Jr. presidency?

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jcpunongbayan says "it's too early" for Isko: There's a huge possibility that he will have a comeback later on.

Punongbayan says Filipinos' preference for a strongman figure still hasn't gone away.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jcpunongbayan: Nagkataon lang na nandiyan 'yung Marcos name. He hugs all the attention. But if the spotlight is all on [Isko], I think he has a good chance.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@escchrista says pro-Leni-Kiko sentiment has dominated online spaces during the miting de avance, with hashtags such as #MakatiIsPink and #PilipinasIsPink trending worldwide.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada How has the social media landscape changed from the 2010, 2016 elections?

@sofiatomacruz: It wasn't this way in past elections. At the same time you have more sophisticated users now, they know how to get things trending. It's a different kind of machinery.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jcpunongbayan: The way social media is used in this election cycle shows 'yung maturity ng relationship natin with the platforms. If we want to target the youth, we go to TikTok. For the older demographic, it's Facebook.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@jnery_newsstand: Because we're so digital these days, we tend to place a lot of weight on statistics that come out of our digital use. It turns out that social engagement data will show that the surveys may be wrong.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada .@escchrista says Ka Leody's campaign strategy on social media is fascinating, says they change their tone in some posts to cater to particular audiences and particular platforms.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada Rappler reporter @lianbuan, who covers Marcos Jr.’s presidential campaign: Sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon ay ginipit pa rin ang media sa Parañaque miting de avance. They issued special passes pero select lang ang na-notify na dito pala sa hotel na 'to makukuha ang special pass.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan: Without the help of other reporters, we wouldn't have gotten that pass.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan: For the very last time, wala ulit interview with Bongbong Marcos. We managed to get close to him, but not because they opened the doors for us.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan says there's no difference between how supporters receive Sara and Marcos Jr: If Duterte supporter ka then you're a Marcos supporter. Siguro 'yung difference ay makikita sa local allies. Some are very explicitly Sara Duterte but they would never say they're for Marcos.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan What will a Marcos presidency loook like?

@lianbuan: From the perspective of transparency, mukhang mahihirapan tayong lahat, if the campaign is any indication.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan: Imagine na lang 'yung simpleng ambush interview, simpleng reply to a text message, hindi natin makuha. Reporters know, media know, even owners know how far they would go to try to kill a story.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan: The frustration has been how to tell people na gano'n 'yung nangyayari. That's why we also decided to come out with that story of how much they shoved, on occasions, quite literally, independent media.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan on President Duterte's no-show at the Marcos-Duterte miting de avance: For a lot of supporters, it doesn't matter if Duterte will endorse him. Idol nila si President, [Marcos] is running with his daughter, he's the continuity candidate, wala na silang pakialam.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan .@lianbuan: but if we're to read more nuance about it, it was easy for the President to show up. All the cards are aligned. It's his daughter. His party is endorsing him. Madali lang pumunta.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan Rappler reporter @maracepeda, who covers Leni Robredo's presidential campaign, is now in Magarao, Camarines Sur, where Robredo is registered to cast her vote tomorrow.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda .@maracepeda says Kiko's speech during the miting de avance was his most impassioned: He recalled his days as an activist. Meron siyang linya na 'wag daw boboto ng kandidato na papalitan ang memorya ng tao tungkol sa abuses ng Martial Law.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda Is the Bicol vote still within reach despite the lack of endorsement from a still-popular Sorsogon gov Escudero?

@maracepeda: Bicolanos do not just blindly follow what governors say. Their attendance in rallies show, kung hindi titindig ang governor, sila mismo ang titindig.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda Who among the celebrities are the most consequential in solidifying support for Robredo?

@maracepeda: I think it's Vice Ganda. Apart from performing at the birthday rally and MDA, ginamit din ni Vice ang kanyang vlog.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda .@maracepeda: Malaki ring factor si Angel Locsin. There was a commissioned survey in December 2021 that showed she's one of the top endorsers that would convince Filipinos to choose a particular candidate.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda .@maracepeda says Kapamilya stars banding together for Leni was also symbolic: it's under Duterte admin that their franchise was denied and Leni and Kiko were among the key opposition figures who fought for press freedom and for the passage of ABS-CBN franchise.

LIVE:

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda @julesguiang @HappyFeraren Africa: We still don't go into that process of reasoned argumentation. We're still driven by impulse ng emotional triggers. The effort we're doing right now to put things in an issue-based frame is important, but governance should be seen so, even after elections.

@beacupin @sofiatomacruz @jcpunongbayan @jnery_newsstand @escchrista @piaranada @lianbuan @maracepeda @julesguiang @HappyFeraren Africa describes what he believes to be the kind of economy the next president will have to deal with: "a much weakened, much distorted, and actually, very, very problematic economy."

Muli nating maibalik ang democratic spaces na meron dapat ang mga mamamayan patungkol sa gobyerno.

It's really a pivotal moment for the PH economy. We're still on shaky ground. We still have to bring back jobs. We need someone who has an economic background at least.

I'm old enough to have been part of the anti-Marcos struggle the first time around. But the crowd this time is different. There's more sense of joy, a lot of giving "ambag," giving out free stuff.
