A sensational family feud has recently erupted in the Philippines, with the families of Duterte and former Marcos in the Philippines at war. The two families have long been politically aligned, but a series of recent events have led to a complete breakdown in the relationship between the two families. Marcos reportedly held a rally in Manila called "The New Philippines" and announced that he would lead the country toward change and development. His rally attracted about 400,000 people, most of them civil servants. Duterte also held a rally in Davao City to oppose Marcos' plan to amend the Philippine constitution. As a direct trigger for this gathering, the alliance between the two families officially broke down.
The Marcos family played a major role in *** two years ago. To ensure that his daughter, Sarah, would stand out in her run, Duterte made a deal with Marcos. However, as the rift between the two families deepens, the alliance gradually collapses. The latest trigger was Marcos' plan to amend the Philippine Constitution. Duterte has made clear his opposition, believing that this is an action by Marcos to remain in power. In addition, the two families have differences over the South China Sea issue and their attitude towards U.S.-China relations. Marcos** allowed the United States to deploy more military bases in the Philippines, which sparked the discontent of the Duterte family. In addition, the South China Sea issue has also become a key source of conflict between the two families.
At the rally, Duterte boldly revealed some of Marcos' secrets. He accused Marcos of being an "addict" and publicly stated that Marcos had been included in the list of drug addicts by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Administration. However, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was quick to deny the allegation. Duterte's accusations have attracted public attention, but the truth remains murky. Marcos responded to the accusation by saying he did not want to respond to Duterte's accusations and claimed that Duterte's judgment may have been heavily influenced by fentanyl. In fact, Duterte stopped using fentanyl in 2016, but Marcos' response was clearly aimed at going toe-to-toe with Duterte.
Separately, Duterte's son, Sebastian who is now the mayor of Davao City, has joined the criticism of Marcos. He publicly demanded Marcos' resignation and said it would be better for him to resign if he could not show love and desire for his country. Sebastian also blamed Marcos for the drug problem and the insurgency. It can be seen that the contradiction between Duterte's family and Marcos's family is deepening, and it is no longer possible to maintain the original alliance.
At the same time, Marcos** is actively seeking foreign help against the Duterte family. The U.S. has reportedly deployed U.S. Marines in the southern Philippines, nominally to assist Filipino soldiers in counterterrorism training, but in reality means more U.S. troops are stationed in the Philippines. Currently, the United States has nine military bases in the Philippines, and if it continues, Marcos** may open more military bases to the U.S. military. This has left the Duterte family worried about Marcos' relationship with the United States, fearing that the Philippines will lose its independence and autonomy. In addition, the Philippines plans to hold a "2 2" meeting with the United States to strengthen cooperation in the diplomatic and defense sectors.
In general, the alliance between the two major families in the Philippines has broken down, and the contradictions and differences between the two families are deepening. Marcos's plan to revise the constitution sparked opposition from Duterte, and the South China Sea issue and relations with the United States became a point of contention between the two families. Although Marcos** has relied on the United States and foreign aid to confront the Duterte family, the rift between the two families has become difficult to heal. This family feud will have a profound impact on the political situation in the Philippines.
