Bongbong Marcos, Son of Ferdinand, elected Philippine President

As the finishing current event chapter of Philippine politics, deja-vu strikes again. Following Duterte’s tenure, the son of Ferdinand Marcos, Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos, entered his bid for the presidency, pledging once again legal reforms, the end of corruption, etc. In 2022, Bongbong easily won the Presidency.  Apparently there were no hard feelings among the Philippine people regarding his father’s reign of totalitarian martial law and the missing $9B from the country’s treasury. I suppose the people did not blame the son for the sins of his father. But so much for altering the dynastic lineage of politics in the Philippines. A most recent news report by CBS quoted Sara Duterte, the Philippine’s VP, as threatening to assassinate President Bong Bong Marcos if any harm were to come to her.
