Who succeeded rodrigo duterte as the president of the philippines in 2022

MANILA, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Philippines leader Rodrigo Duterte's preferred successor, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, announced on Tuesday he was dropping out of the presidential race, leaving the administration without a candidate in next year's polls. Go, Duterte's long-time aide, had recently hinted he may pull out of the presidential contest and said the president respected his decision. His withdrawal raises questions over who the popular Duterte will now support in the May 2022 election. The 76-year old leader is not eligible to seek re-election, but will be standing for a senator's seat. "I and President Duterte are ready to support whoever will truly serve and can continue and protect Duterte's legacy towards a more comfortable and safe and prosperous life for our children," Go said in a speech streamed on Facebook. Analysts have said Duterte wants to ensure an ally succeeds him so he can be insulated from potential legal action at home or by the International Criminal Court, which has launched a Duterte's daughter, Davao Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, is running for the largely ceremonial Political observers say Go's withdrawal from the race would likely benefit the Marcos/Duterte-Carpio ticket as it would consolidate the Dutertes' voter base behind the 43-year-old mayor and that support could extend to Marcos. "There is no more confusion in terms of administration support," said Aries Arugay, visiting fellow at the ISEAS Yusof-Ishak Institute and political science prof...

When Rodrigo Duterte assumed the presidency of the Philippines in 2016 his economic vision for the country was pretty clear: to build infrastructure and boost investment. The cornerstone of this plan was the Build, Build, Build program, in which the government targeted dozens of infrastructure projects for priority development through a combination of public and private funding from both foreign and domestic sources. As Duterte’s six-year term neared its conclusion, the government also passed several investor-friendly legislative reforms meant to accelerate foreign capital inflows. These included relaxed restrictions on foreign ownership of How effective have these efforts been?

Nevertheless, it has hardly been cost-free. As soon as Duterte took office the Philippines started r...

Six years ago, the tough-talking mayor of Davao City, known as “the Punisher” because of his merciless approach to crime, was on the brink of taking national power in the Philippines. He promised to move power away from Manila elites, tackle poverty, corruption, and drugs. “When I become president,” Rodrigo Duterte told The latter prediction was, at least, correct. When Duterte steps down on 30 June, having reached the end of his term limit, he will leave behind a country in which human rights, the media and rule of law have been weakened, say analysts.

Photograph: Basilio Sepe/ZUMA Press Wire/REX/Shutterstock Many voters are not old enough to remember Marcos’s rule, which ended in 1986, and academics warn that the period is not taught thoroughly in schools, creating a vulnerability the Marcoses and their backers have exploited. Many supporters say they do not believe the family has plundered state money, despite numerous court rulings. Some analysts say a Marcos election is a continuation of a populist wave that started with president Rodrigo Duterte and reflects frustration with previous administrations’ failure to provide sufficient, tangible reforms following the People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos Sr. Is Marcos an ally of Duterte? Duterte did not officially endorse Marcos as a presidential candidate, nor has he always been complimentary. Last year, Duterte called Marcos Jr a During his presidency, however, Duterte has enabled the rehabilitation of the Marcos name, including by recommending Marcos Sr be Duterte’s more recent jibes at Marcos may stem from an irritation that his daughter was running for the vice-presidency, and not the top job.

Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is set to become the next president of the Philippines. (Image: Reuters) Marcos Jr. is Ferdinand Marcos’ son. The elder Marcos was a dictator who controlled the Philippines for more than two decades from 1965 to early 1986. His highly controversial martial law rule, which was marked by great corruption and brutality against those who tried to oppose his “constitutional authoritarianism,” eventually led to a revolt among Filipinos. Marcos Sr. fled in exile to Hawaii after stealing an estimated $5 billion to $10 billion from the country. But since Marcos Sr.’s reign muddied the family name, Marcos Jr. and his mother Imelda have worked tirelessly to restore their reputation. Some 36 years later, another Marcos is set to reside in Malacañan Palace. Marcos Jr. easily won yesterday’s presidential election. With 98% of the vote in, Marcos Jr. garnered more than double the votes of his nearest rival. Marcos Jr.’s rise to the presidency has many around the world concerned that the Philippines is continuing toward yet another dictatorship. Outgoing President Rodrigo Dute...
