Zach Abouza: 这次菲律宾中期选举在很大程度上是对前总统杜特尔特及其家族的一次全民公投。虽然中期选举通常对执政总统有利,但小马科斯总统并未如愿获得压倒性胜利,且副总统莎拉·杜特尔特还面临弹劾审判。这次选举对菲律宾的政治王朝、杜特尔特的弹劾案以及2028年的总统选举都将产生深远的影响。如果莎拉·杜特尔特被弹劾,她将被终身禁止从政。 Cleo Anne Calimbahin: 作为回应,我认为这次选举对执政党和所有竞争者都至关重要。值得注意的是,一些传统上的反对派候选人试图摆脱“反对派”的标签,因为在2019年中期选举中,没有一位反对派候选人获胜。选举结果显示,只有六名参议员坚定地站在小马科斯总统阵营。这意味着总统需要巩固他在参议院和众议院的支持。此外,杜特尔特家族仍然拥有强大的支持基础,这从杜特尔特总统卸任时的高支持率以及两位与杜特尔特阵营关系密切的参议员赢得选举中可见一斑。对前总统杜特尔特的同情,以及海外菲律宾工人对他的支持,都对选举结果产生了影响。
