All eyes are on the next presidential election, and with presidential candidates like the world-famous boxer Manny Pacquiao and the son of a former Phillippine dictator going for the top job, there’s lot going on. But what qualities are Fillipinos really looking for in thier next president? What are the most urgent problems and social issues taht they want the next president to address?

菲律宾现任总统杜特尔特可能是在西方最为知名的（菲律宾总统），因为他绝不姑息毒品。但是你知道他6年的饱受争议的任期即将结束吗？所有的目光都聚焦到将要到来的总统选举上，而诸如世界著名拳击手曼尼·帕奎奥，以及前菲律宾独裁者的儿子马科斯都对这一位置虎视眈眈，这注定了选举过程的跌宕起伏。那么菲律宾人民希望下一任总统具有何种品质呢？他们希望下一任总统解决那些最为紧要的问题和社会事宜呢？

评论翻译

Q: We are only a few days away from the upcoming presidential election, and a lot of our viewers from differnt countreis are interested to understand how Fillipinos feel about the end of the presidential term of President Duterte. To start off, how do you feel about President Duterte retiring from politics?

问：离即将到来的总统大选只有几天了，我们（节目）各国的很多观众都想知道菲律宾人民对现任总统杜特尔特即将卸任的看法。那么首先，你对杜特尔特总统离开政坛是什么感受呢？

A: I’m sad because our current president is great, right? He also accomplished a lot of things for our country just like fighting drugs, right? That’s number one.

答：我很难过，因为我觉得我们现任的总统很棒，对不对？他为我们的国家做了很多贡献，就像是打击毒品，对不对？这是其中之一。

A: It’s okay that he goes to rest…so that we can have a better society for the younger generation, especially in my case as I have many grandchildren.

答：他离开是挺好的事儿……这样我们就能为年青一代创造更好的社会了，我尤其这么想，因为我有很多孙辈。

Q: What are the things that President Duterte has accomplished during his term?

问：杜特尔特总统在其任期达成了什么成就吗？

A: He’s pretty okay. Crimes like robberies have gotten less frequent.

答：他做的挺好的。诸如抢劫之类的犯罪行为也越来越不容易看见了。

A: Because of EJK(extrajudicial killings), I’d give it a negative score. That’s his greatest legacy, a negative one. That’s why the International Criminal Court should continue investigating him.

答：因为（对毒贩）进行非法处决，我给他打负分。这是他留下来的最大遗产，可以说是臭名昭著。这就是为什么（我认为）国际刑事法院应该继续调查他。

A: He had a lot on his plate. It was just one of those things. There’s no way he could eliminate the drug problem in 6 years, because it’s a big issue and it’s very deeply rooted.

答：他手中有很多筹码。禁毒只是其中之一。（但是）他不可能在6年的时间内彻底消除毒品问题，因为这是一个根深蒂固的大问题。

答：我对要给哪位候选人投票不是很确定。我看过他们的平台（介绍），有优点，也有缺点（令人难以抉择）。

A: For me, I’ll vote but I’m looking into each profile of the candidates, and they’ve been saying nice things, but I’m still clueless because I’ve not seen thier accomplishments yet.

答：对我来说，我会投票，但是我要好好看看候选人的简介，他们一直在说好听的话，但是我还是没有思路，因为我目前还没看到他们的成就。

That being said, we do want to be involved in national politics because we see the country’s problems.

答：就我看到的，菲律宾民众对政治有着强烈的兴趣。不管他们支持候选人与否，他们都非常想参与到政治中来，有时候是如此盲目地一边倒。但也可以这么说，正因为我们看到了国家的问题，我们才想参加到这个国家的政治中来。

Q: Our international viewers may not be familiar with the interesting mix of the currently leading cnadidates for the presidency in our country. Could you briefly name the leading candidates and briefly describe their background?

A: It’s because of fame, the fame they have. Manny Pacquiao is a famous boxer not only in the Philippines but in the whole world. Same as Yorme(Isko’s nickname). He’s a well-known celebrity. That’s why both of them entered the political arena.

答：还是因为名气。但他们已经有名气了，曼尼·帕奎奥是一个著名拳击手，不仅是在菲律宾，在全世界都很出名。Yorme（伊斯科的昵称）也是个知名人物。这就是为什么他们二位（已经出名了）却还要迈入政坛。

A: Their career in acting, sports is already over. These type of politicians infuriate me! Once their career in show business is over, they enter politics. But why? What are you doing there?

答：他们的表演、运动生涯已经结束了。这类政客真让我生气！他们招摇的职业生涯结束了，就踏足政治。不过为什么呢？他们究竟在做什么呢？

A: That’s how politics works in the Philippines. Especially citizens who don’t know anything about law or even politics prefer the famous, as long as the name rings a bell.

答：这就是菲律宾政治的运行模式。尤其是对法律以及政治不甚了解的人来说，他们更亲睐名人当选，只要名字听起来耳熟。

答：教育。我不是以偏概全，但是很多菲律宾人都无法接受教育。看到政府没有分配足够的资金用作教育，真是令人难过。但是如果他们真这么做了，他们会料到自己将会被骂，因为人们变得更聪明了。
