Meanwhile, his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, is facing an impeachment trial over a raft of charges including alleged misuse of public funds and plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is the son of the notorious dictator Ferdinand Marcos, famously one of the world's most corrupt. He fled the Philippines to the USA after a People's Power Revolution, ignited after he had Benigno Aquino murdered. Aquino's wife, Corazon Aquino, became president for a while.

Imelda Marcos, wife of Ferdinand Marcos and mother of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., notorious for her shoe collection, was a member of the Philippine House of Representatives until 2019.

I don't think that even a Mexican soap opera has ever been this engrossing.

Thiss story .. sounds similiar to the billions Rump and his buddies made of the US by crashing thr Stock market seversl times, using the yo yo techniques of on again off again tariffs with countries That only he and his billionaire buddies knew of the timing of these methods . Then a Rumpy Meme coin, type of bitcoin , thing . That only he and his buddues knew, when the offering was to be made.. And collecting his buddies for a meme coin dinner. Charging bunches of money to attend. Accepting a plane to replace Air Force One . As a direct gift from Quatar . To be donated eventually to
his personal library. . Then claiming it was given to the AirForce.. Firing all the heads of every dept of the military.
And infusing all agencies that concern USA sevurity And installing his friends from anywhere from Dept. of health. To the CIA . Guess Nope Rump has no similiarities to To the Marcos family . Except , Tump at least had is own back up white house . At Mira Lago. And was able to install his own Supreme Court Justices ..and on and on .
Nope nothing incommon, not even a shoes collection .
