Summary

71% Informative

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr , and his Vice-President, Sara Duterte , are embroiled in a bitter feud.

As allies they won a landslide victory in the last presidential election in 2022 .

But as their relationship has fractured, this mid-term election has become a critical barometer of the strength of these two political dynasties.

Only six of the twelve winning senators are from the Marcos alliance, and of those one, Camille Villar , is only half in his camp.

Bongbong Marcos has never been a good public speaker, and his stage appearances in the campaign did little to lift his flagging popularity.

His management of the economy, which is struggling, gets low marks in opinion polls.

His decision to detain former President Duterte and send him to the International Criminal Court is being portrayed by the family as a national betrayal.
