With more than 70% of the votes tabulated, Marcos Jr had more than 23.5m, far ahead of his closest rival, the current vice-president, Leni Robredo, a former human rights lawyer, who had 11.1m. The size of his lead means a comeback by his opponents is not possible.

I hope he doesn't kill people like Durtete used to.I used to get sad seeing how poor people (so called drugged peddlers) used to be ganged down by police...used to watch on aljazeera.

Philippines is a real backwater. They are only redeemed by geography and history. Otherwise this son of a thug has won by 70%

70% is a lot of human beings.
Am not surprised - even murderers like Trump will get re-elected.
GO FIGURE!!!
