Duterte's "war on drugs" has caused widespread controversy at home and abroad. This war was launched during his ** term of office to completely eliminate drug traffickers. However, this policy has been criticized by many as being too assertive and violating human rights. Former Philippine parliamentarian De Lima publicly criticized Duterte and called on the International Criminal Court to intervene to investigate his actions. In response to such a challenge, Duterte launched a series of judicial investigations against De Lima, who imprisoned him on ** charges.
In addition to De Lima, Duterte has faced accusations and accountability from other political opponents. Under the ** system of the Philippine political environment, job-hopping between political parties is common. With Duterte stepping down**, his power dwindling and facing multiple charges, members of the party began to waver and betray him. Some switched sides to Marcos Jr.'s camp, while others formed their own political parties to fight for their own political interests. These massive party attritions have led to the gradual weakening of the Duterte family's power in the world.
Currently, Duterte's daughter Sarah is the deputy of the Philippines, and she is also facing political pressure and doubts. Recently, Sarah's department has raised doubts among lawmakers about the use of classified funds, and has been put forward by opposition lawmakers. Sarah's situation has become very passive, and she may even lose the throne of the vice-leader. To get out of this predicament, she needs Marcos Jr.'s support to avoid the opposition continuing to use the matter to put pressure on her.
Marcos Jr. is one of the main reasons why Philippine Deputy Sarah wants the Justice Department not to cooperate with the ICC. Previously, Marcos Jr. firmly opposed the ICC's intervention in the internal affairs of the Philippines, arguing that it was suspected of interfering with national sovereignty. Recently, however, Marcos Jr. has changed his tone abruptly, expressing his willingness to consider returning the Philippines to the ICC. For the Duterte family, Marcos Jr.'s subtle change of attitude is clearly detrimental and may have exacerbated the political dilemma they face.
The Duterte family has been grappling with the "aftermath" of Philippine politics. The Philippines is a ** country, and job hopping between political parties is common, and the political situation is unpredictable. In the Philippine political environment, politicians can change sides at any time for personal gain. Duterte's "Democratic People's Power of the Philippines" party was once the largest ruling party in the Philippines, but this party has no real cohesion, and its members are more interested in Duterte's power and influence. With Duterte stepping down**, his power waning and facing accusations, these members began to waver and betray him, either choosing to join Marcos Jr.'s camp or forming their own party. With the massive loss of party members, the Duterte family's political power in the House of Representatives has been gradually weakened, and although there are still some supporters in the Senate, it has not been able to change the trend of "losing power in the front".
The Duterte family now faces a very worrisome political dilemma. If they are unable to cope with internal pressures, their prestige and position are likely to be further weakened. How to prevent this from happening will be a serious test for the Duterte family. Sarah, as a deputy **, hopes that the Justice Department will not cooperate with the ICC to avoid dealing a great blow to the Duterte family. However, if Marcos Jr. decides to extradite Lao Du to the International Criminal Court, there will be nothing Sarah can do.
For now, Duterte and his daughter, Sarah, are in a passive position. Sarah faces a classified money scandal and opposition **, and is in danger of losing her position as deputy at any time. She needs Marcos Jr.'s support to avoid the opposition continuing to target her. And the Duterte family has also faced criticism from home and abroad, with many people standing up to Duterte directly. In this case, they need to show skill and counter-attack skills to protect their reputation and position.
