COTABATO, Philippines: On a basketball court in the Philippines' Marawi, ballots piled high on pallets awaited transport to towns across a Muslim-majority region that has traded decades of separatist violence for a chance at self-determination.

菲律宾哥打巴托：在菲律宾马拉维的一个篮球场上，堆放在托盘上的选票等待运往这个穆斯林占多数的地区的各个城镇。该地区经历了数十年的分离主义暴力，换来了自决的机会。
离那里不远的地方，竞选海报贴在被炸毁的建筑物侧面，鲜明地提醒着人们近十年前圣战分子和政府军之间发生的血腥战斗。
