Marcos’ running mate is also the child of a president: Duterte’s daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio is currently leading in the race for vice president, according to ABS-CBN (in the Philippines, presidential and vice-presidential candidates run for office separately).

Marcos’ impending victory follows years of efforts to rehabilitate his family’s image. His father Ferdinand Marcos was elected to the presidency in 1965 and remained in office for 21 years, much of it under a martial law regime that was tied to thousands of arrests, disappearances and killings according to អង្គការលើកលែងទោសអន្ដរជាតិ. The elder Marcos was also accused of stealing billions of dollars from the nation’s coffers, fueling a lavish lifestyle in a debt-ridden country: His wife Imelda Marcos—whose ការប្រមូលដ៏ធំ of shoes and គ្រឿង​អ​លង្កា is often cited as a symbol of the family’s alleged excesses—was កាត់ទោសពីបទពុករលួយ in 2018. He eventually left office and fled to Hawaii in 1986 amid ការតវ៉ា, dying បីឆ្នាំក្រោយមក. Despite this legacy, Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s social media-driven presidential campaign has sought to reframe his father’s time in office as an era of ខ្លាំង សេដ្ឋកិច្ច កំណើន, denying របាយការណ៍រីករាលដាល of corruption and human rights abuses during the Marcos era.

Term limits barred Duterte—who has led the Philippines since 2016—from running for a second term. He said last year he will retire from politics, bringing an end to his populist and often-harsh mode of governing: His government has been ចោទប្រកាន់ពីបទសម្លាប់ scores of people in its pursuit of drug traffickers, and during the pandemic, he has គំរាមបាញ់ quarantine violators and ការចាប់ខ្លួន coronavirus vaccine skeptics to “inject the vaccine into their buttocks.”

If Marcos is certified as the winner, he may continue some of Duterte’s policies. Like លោក Duterte ។, Marcos is ទូលំទូលាយ រំពឹង​ថា​នឹង ស្វែងរក stronger ties between the Philippines and China amid ជម្លោះ between the two countries over control of the South China Sea, though he has also pledged to remain allies with the United States. Marcos has ផងដែរ បានស្នើ he will continue Duterte’s war on drugs but devote more resources to rehabilitation instead of enforcement, and he ទំនង នឹងមិន assist with an International Criminal Court investigation into evidence of extrajudicial killings during Duterte’s drug war.
