Sara Duterte backed out this week from her reelection bid as mayor of southern Davao city then took the place of a largely unknown vice-presidential candidate of her political party, Lakas CMD, in a maneuver that allowed her to seek the second-highest post even after a deadline lapsed for candidates in the May 9 elections.
Marcos had placed the Philippines under martial law in 1972 in an era that was marked by widespread atrocities and economic plunder. Duterte has been condemned by Western governments and human rights groups for a brutal anti-drugs crackdown that has left more than 6,000 mostly poor suspects dead in large-scale killings that are being investigated by the International Criminal Court.
There were no immediate comments from Sara Duterte or Marcos Jr., a former senator and provincial governor who is widely known by his nickname Bongbong.
This doesn't sound good! I remember watching the news as a child and hearing about what awful people the Marcos' were!
Evil and corruption runs in the family
The ´86 non- violent ´ Revolution ´ was necessary. MarcosDuterte2022 is made possible by the lack of righteous, not corrupt governments after '86. Not everyone is corrupt though. May a righteous candidate rise! Love the Philippines ❤ 😍 💖
Another shameful act from our politicians. We the sane Filipino citizens promise not to vote for them

Once you establish yourself as a dictator, there is no turning back. If you turn back, justice will come looking for you.
What do you expect from a Catholic dominated country? Fun fact, the most prosperous countries in the world are either mostly Protestant, or have near half Protestants. Too include Asia: Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. ;) …
The Philippine President himself will fight against his own daughter in the Vice Presidential race. A son of former dictator in the presidency in the lead, against an incompetent senator and dog of the president. Clownery.
