President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s hold on the senate may be threatened by the unexpected outcomes of the Philippine midterm elections, which were dominated by a bitter rivalry between two political families.
Marcos allies seem to have won fewer senate seats than anticipated, based on the most recent vote count of 80%.
at the meantime, his opponent, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is being held at The Hague for his drug war that claimed thousands of lives, was elected mayor of the area that is home to his family.
There is still uncertainty surrounding the impeachment trial of his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.
