>The House, which is dominated by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s allies, voted 257-25 with nine abstentions. The two impeachment complaints against Duterte, which will now be elevated to the Senate for a trial, mark an initial setback to her plan to seek the presidency in 2028. Sara Duterte is former President and current ICC defendant Rodrigo Duterte's daughter. And Ferdinand Marcos Jr, is the son of former President Marcos. It's crazy how dynastic politics can be. [Hope that doesn't happen in America.](https://www.salon.com/2026/05/03/could-donald-trump-jr-make-a-2028-presidential-bid/)

I watched a video a couple of days ago on the income disparity in PH and how it’s perpetuated by these political families. It goes back to the colonial era. https://youtu.be/HNNNkS4I6yg?si=FfxZq1WJjP9UdInD

I mean the current President of the Phillipines is the son of the dictator from back in the day that stole a bunch of money as well. They're also rewriting their history books to hide that.

When he fled the country to abroad with his family, all the stolen riches from countless citizens who starved to death could not be found or recovered. Now we know where all that crazy amount of money went, buying up bots and paid trolls on social media platforms for their son’s election campaign, he gained a massive follower base from disinformation.
