drama are well underway.
7. Richard Heydarian, professor of history and
political science at the Philippines' Polytechnic
University, says there is no clear frontrunner.
"It is going to be highly, highly competitive," he
added. In a tight race, the prize could go to
anyone. And the stakes are high.
8. At home, Duterte has cracked down on civil society and
sparked a bloody war on drugs that has claimed the lives of
more than 6,000 people, according to police. And there are
signs he may not be willing to let his influence go so easily.
Whoever ends up taking power in the Philippines, Ressa
said they will inherit a country "in a far worse place" than
Duterte did. "The legacy of Duterte is the breakdown of the
different branches of government and the corruption of the
different weak institutions," she said.

were starting to solidify ... the last five years have
really taken those dreams and dashed them."
