2022年菲律宾总统选举竞选活动将于明天2月8日正式展开,谁将接替杜特尔特成为下一任菲律宾总统,将成为接下来三个月备受关注的焦点。民调显示,小费迪南德·马科斯在几位总统候选人中支持率遥遥领先。
小费迪南德·马科斯(Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr),又称小马科斯,昵称“邦邦”,菲律宾著名政治家。1957年出生,是菲律宾前总统费迪南德·马科斯的儿子。
1986年,马科斯被推翻后整个马科斯家族流亡美国夏威夷,3年后马科斯在当地病逝。1991年小马科斯结束流亡返菲并开始从政。曾任北伊罗戈省省长,2010年成功当选参议员。在2016年菲律宾大选中角逐副总统之位,但却以不明不白的微弱劣势输给了莱尼·罗布雷多,菲律宾无数国民表示了质疑与愤慨。
2021年10月5日下午,小马科斯在社交媒体上发布了视频讲话,宣布参加2022年菲律宾总统大选。小马科斯在讲话中表示,面对新冠疫情,菲律宾人民要团结一致,共克时艰。他如果当选总统,将凝聚各方力量带领菲律宾人民战胜疫情,让人们的生活重回正轨。
2021年11月16日,菲律宾2022年大选副总统候选人莎拉·杜特尔特·卡皮奥在社交媒体上发布视频称,在2022年大选中,她决定与总统候选人小马科斯组成竞选搭档,共同竞选副总统和总统职位。
小马科斯曾就菲律宾未来经济发展方向、菲中关系、菲美关系等一系列重大内政外交问题阐述自己的观点。其中一些理念掷地有声,与其他总统候选人形成鲜明对比:
——自从新冠疫情爆发,看到坏消息源源不断地传来,实在太可怕了;人民在受苦,他们绝不仅仅是抱怨,他们真的在受罪;没工作、没钱,得不到医疗……我们要想办法一步步解决这些问题,不能再这样下去了!
——振兴教育和农业发展、降低电价、改善医疗、扶持中小企业、减税……
——全球经济正在逐渐重新启动,菲律宾必须把握数字经济浪潮,大力推动数字基础设施建设,借鉴中国、美国、欧洲的成熟经验,让国家在未来新一轮全球竞争中占据有利地位。
——现任副总统罗布雷多提出的“菲中油气合作必须以中国承认2016年南海仲裁结果为前提”的观点不可行,中国从一开始就拒绝承认仲裁,罗布雷多的说法实际上就是“我们不会跟中国谈”。我认为仲裁是无效的,这个仲裁的实际效果是让菲中的分歧扩大、让双方的立场更加强硬。
——民心相通是发展菲中友好关系的重要一环,希望华商大会、广大在菲中国商人以及孔子学院为架友谊之桥发挥积极作用。
——美国军事基地是冷战时期的产物,如今的世界已经大为不同,接触与合作是主旋律,而且美国不愿意为了菲律宾卷入一场大规模战争,因此在菲设美军基地不符合菲方利益,只会让菲律宾沦为被攻击的目标……
马科斯家族成员与世界华人渊源悠久、感情深厚,是中国人民始终不忘的老朋友,曾多次访问中国,为中菲建交作出了历史性卓越贡献。小马科斯无疑是中国极为嘱意且与中国关系最为友善的总统候选人!
可以预见,菲律宾人民期待已久、众望所归的小费迪南德·马科斯必将赢得2022年5月的菲律宾第十七任总统大选,这是菲律宾的国家使命、人民选择和中菲关系之幸。愿我们所有爱好友谊与和平的广大世界华人都实际行动起来,人不分男女老幼、地不分东南西北,以有钱出钱、有力出力的积极踊跃,支持和欢呼这位伟大未来总统的到来吧!

-- calling on the global Chinese community to pay attention and support
Ferdinand Marcos Jr
The campaign for the 2022 Presidential election will kick off on February 8, tomorrow, and who will succeed Rodrigo Duterte as the next president of the Philippines will be the focus of much attention over the next months. Opinion polls show Ferdinand Marcos Junior leading the field of presidential candidates. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., also known as Little Marcos, nicknamed "Bongbong", is a famous Philippine politician. Born in 1957, son of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. After Marcos was overthrown in 1986, the Marcos family, including the younger Marcos, fled into exile in Hawaii, where Marcos died three years later. Marcos Junior entered politics in 1991 after returning from exile to the Philippines. Marcos Junior served as governor of Irogo Norte province and was elected to the Senate in 2010. Marcos Jr., who ran for vice president in the 2016 presidential election but narrowly lost to Leni Robredo, was met with disbelief and outrage by millions of Filipinos. On the afternoon of October 5, 2021, Marcos Jr. announced his candidacy for the 2022 Philippine presidential election in a video address posted on social media. In his speech, Marcos Jr. said that the Filipino people should stand united in the face of COVID-19. If elected, he will rally all parties to lead the Philippine people to defeat the epidemic and get their lives back on track. Sarah Duterte Carpio, a vice presidential candidate in the Philippines 2022 election, said in a video posted on social media on November 16, 2021 that she has decided to form a running mate with presidential candidate Marcos Junior to run for the vice presidency and presidency in the 2022 election. Marcos Jr. elaborated his ideas on a series of major domestic and foreign issues, including the future economic development direction of the Philippines, Philippine-China relations and Philippine-US relations. Some of them are powerful, in stark contrast to other presidential candidates: -- It's been terrible to see the bad news pouring in since the coronavirus outbreak. People are suffering, they are not just complaining, they are really suffering. No job, no money, no medical care... We need to find ways to solve these problems step by step. We can't go on like this. -- Boosting education and agricultural development, lowering electricity prices, improving health care, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, cutting taxes... -- As the global economy is gradually restarting, the Philippines must seize the digital economy wave and vigorously promote digital infrastructure construction, learning from the mature experience of China, the United States and Europe. Let the country in a new round of global competition in the future to occupy a favorable position. -- Current Vice President Robredo's argument that "oil and gas cooperation between the Philippines and China must be premised on China's recognition of the results of the 2016 South China Sea arbitration" is not feasible. China has refused to recognize the arbitration from the very beginning, so Robredo's statement is effectively "we will not talk to China". I think arbitration is futile. The actual effect of the arbitration is to widen the differences between the Philippines and China and harden the positions of both sides. -- People-to-people connectivity is an important part of developing Philippine-China friendly relations. I hope that The Chinese business community, Chinese businessmen in the Philippines and Confucius Institutes will play an active role in building a bridge of friendship. -- The US military bases are the product of the Cold War. Today's world is very different. Contact and cooperation are the main themes, and the US does not want to get involved in a large-scale war on behalf of the Philippines. Members of the Marcos family have a long history and deep friendship with the Chinese people around the world. They have always been old friends of the Chinese people. They have visited China many times and made historic contributions to the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the Philippines. Marcos Junior is undoubtedly the most desirable and friendliest presidential candidate for the Chinese thinking. It is foreseeable that Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who has been expected by the Philippine people for a long time and is widely expected to win the 17th presidential election of the Philippines in May 2022, is the national mission of the Philippines, the choice of the Philippine people and the luck of China-Philippines relations. May all Chinese in the world, who love friendship and peace, take concrete actions to support and cheer for the coming of this great future President.
