In their communities, Marcos and Duterte both cast their ballots early on Monday. Duette told investigators that she had just spoken with her father, who is currently facing a drug-related test at the International Criminal Court.
She claimed she informed him that more than two of his ten senators had a chance of winning. The former police chief, who oversaw the drugs conflict, which resulted in dozens of fatalities, is one of the ten.
Aries Arugay, a professor of political science at the University of the Philippines, said,” This election is more than an unofficial vote on the Marcos supervision.”
In order to advance his legislative and economical agenda, Marcos must win a lot, or supermajority, in the Senate race.
With the exception of some difficulties brought on by malfunctions in the vote-counting machines, local media reported that election, which takes place every 5am to 7pm, went as expected.
