MANILA - The son of late Philippines strongman Ferdinand Marcos declared on Tuesday he will run for president, ending speculation about his political ambitions but stirring anger among victims of his father's brutal era of martial law.
Marcos is the fourth politician to confirm their intention to run to succeed Rodrigo Duterte, who cannot seek re-election. Marcos Jr's sister is a senator and former governor and their 92-year-old mother Imelda, famous for her vast shoe collection, was a four-term congresswoman."If we have learned anything in this time of COVID pandemic, it is that each of us, no matter our station, is in need of the help of our fellow Filipinos," Marcos said on Tuesday.
Rodel Taton, dean of San Sebastian Law school, believes Marcos has a good chance of winning given his popularity among young Filipinos, his family's social media clout and its steadfast support in its stronghold of Ilocos Norte.
