Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos favourite to win presidency on election day in Philippines

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos favourite to win presidency on election day in Philippines” – below is their description.

Voters in the Philippines are voting in the presidential election on Monday that pits frontrunner Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the son and namesake of the late dictator, against a human rights lawyer who has promised a transparent government. Leni Robredo, the current vice-president who has advocated for marginalised groups., trails Marcos in the polls. As vice president – a position elected separately from the president – she has frequently clashed with president Rodrigo Duterte, and has condemned his so-called ‘war on drugs’.
