Manila (AFP) - Leni Robredo was a neophyte congresswoman in 2016 when she came from behind to narrowly beat Ferdinand Marcos Junior for Philippines vice president.She hopes to repeat the feat in their May 9 rematch for president.

Manila (AFP) - Ferdinand Marcos Jr, whose dictator father and namesake presided over massive plunder and human rights abuses in the Philippines, is on the verge of winning the presidency after a decades-long effort to revive the family brand.

The son of a dictator and a former guerrilla could be future presidents.

Ferdinand Marcos Jr has maintained his wide lead in the Philippines presidential election race in a new survey released on Monday, but some political observers say the game may not be over for closest rival Leni Robredo.

Duterte’s presidency rapidly eroded press freedom in the Philippines. Media organisations see the May elections as a chance to set things right.

With just weeks to go before the Philippines holds a presidential election, the lone female candidate is attracting some of the biggest preelection crowds in decades as she seeks to pull a stunning upset against front-runner Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Colors have a great significance in Philippine elections. Pink is new on the scene, competing against the seasoned red, yellow, and blue.

Marcos’s popularity is based on the nostalgia of alleged prosperity and the “golden age” of Filipino society during his father’s dictatorship in the 1980s. Political observers and disinformation researchers say his campaign is buoyed by a massive disinformation and propaganda network.
