Original title: Marcos Jr. will run for president of the Philippines: he is the son of the former president and an ally of duterte
On October 5, Marcos Jr., the son of former Philippine President Marcos and former Senator (nicknamed "bang bang"), announced his registration for the election of Philippine President in 2022.
According to the Philippine Star on October 5, little Marcos said when announcing the election news: "we will rise together (SAMA Sama tayong babanggon)."
According to Xinhua news agency, Marcos, the father of little Marcos, was elected president of the Philippines in 1965. During his term of office, he exercised high-pressure governance, and his domestic evaluation was mixed. After Marcos was overthrown in 1986, the Marcos family, including little Marcos, went into exile in Hawaii. Three years later, Marcos died of illness there. After returning from exile to the Philippines in 1991, little Marcos began to engage in politics and successively served as governor, Congressman and Senator.
On October 2, Philippine President duterte said that he would withdraw from politics and would not run for vice president next year. On the same day, duterte said in an interview that her daughter, the current mayor of Davao, Sara duterte carpio, will run in partnership with vice presidential candidate Christopher "Bong" go in the 2022 presidential election.
The Marcos family, which still holds certain political power in the Philippines, is very close to duterte. Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported in August that duterte said his preferred successor to the president was little Marcos. Sarah and Marcos' eldest daughter Amy Marcos are also long-term political allies. In 2016, duterte fulfilled the wishes of the Marcos family and allowed Marcos' remains to be buried in the national hero cemetery.
Haydarien, a political research scholar, pointed out that the Marcos family hopes to continue to be active in Philippine politics, and in their eyes, Sarah is an object worthy of attachment. "The people around duterte are looking for a new focus. They see the president showing fatigue, so they hope that the election of his successor can protect their interests."
Dai fan, vice president of the school of international relations of Jinan University and director of the Philippine Research Center, said in an interview with surging news (www.thepaper. CN) on October 2: "The Philippine ruling party may form a presidential candidate for Sarah and little Marcos. Although Christopher Wu announced to participate in the vice presidential election, he may not be the final candidate, and his and Sarah's votes overlap, and little Marcos can attract votes in the north of the Philippines. It is still difficult to determine who will be the presidential candidate and who will be the vice presidential candidate."
