Philippines 2022 election

The new president will take the reins at a time of high inflation and monetary tightening in the global financial system.

Marcos might not have been the ideal choice of many U.S. policymakers, but he offers the opportunity for a more stable and predictable partnership.

Despite his platform of national "unity," Ferdinand Jr.'s presidency will likely further polarize an already divided society.

Filipinos have decisively elected another Marcos and another Duterte to the nation’s two highest offices.

As polling stations open across the country, the dictator's son seems set to be elected the country's 17th president.

The return of the Philippine's once-disgraced Marcos clan has been aided by a flood of coordinated online manipulation.

The latest Pulse Asia survey has shown nearly no change since last month, with Marcos holding a commanding 33-point lead over second-placed Leni Robredo.

Despite a slight loss of support, Marcos still enjoys an apparently unassailable 32-point lead over his main rival.

So far the Philippine leader has refrained from anointing a successor. But he could just be waiting for the right moment.

Marcos Jr. leads Leni Robredo in the race, but with a month left until election day much can still change.

The declaration by the president's faction of PDP-Laban will add further wind to the frontrunner's sails ahead of the May 9 election.

As campaigning heats up, Leni Robredo's "pink wave" is facing off against the red-green tandem of the Marcos-Duterte ticket.
