In the Philippines, Marcos jr, the son of the dictator, triumphs

Ferdinand Marcos Jr., son of the former dictator, won the presidential election which was held on Monday in the Philippines. The results released are not yet official, but about 90% of the votes have been counted and Marcos’ victory is now certain. Its main opponent, the current vice-president Leni Robredo, instead obtained about half of the votes. On the same day it was also voted for the vice-presidency, and as expected Sara Duterte, the daughter of outgoing authoritarian president Rodrigo Duterte, won.
