Duterte & Marcos: A New Chapter in the Philippines!
Hey social observers! The topic we are going to talk about today is really a political beacon point! Just recently, the contradiction between the former Duterte and the current Marcos in the Philippines has become public, which is simply a political version of "Liangshanbo"!
First of all, they are choking each other on "drug addiction", causing an uproar. This is not an exaggeration, and Duterte has made a bold declaration to promote the "independence" of his hometown, Mindanao, on the issue of constitutional amendment and territorial sovereignty. This statement aroused the strong support of the Philippines. Arnold, an adviser to the Philippines, said that he would use "resolute force" to counter any attempt.
Oh, the political situation is unpredictable, and there is still a rhythm to engage in "independence". Lord Duterte, is this a play of the "Greater Philippine Independence Movement"?
The Philippines made a strong response to this, saying that it firmly upholds national sovereignty and territorial integrity and will never allow the arrogance of separatism. In short, the position of the first is to resolutely safeguard the unity of the country and not allow anyone to do things.
But let's take a step back a bit and look at the cause and effect. The disagreement between Duterte and Marcos stems from the issue of constitutional amendment. Marcos said the constitutional amendments were meant to attract foreign investment, while Duterte accused him of continuing to stay in power. Sure enough, the power struggle is a fire that will never be extinguished.
The "unity team" that joined forces to win the election was also mired in infighting. Since last year, for various reasons, their alliance has gradually collapsed, becoming a political version of the "divorce crisis". Especially as Marcos changes policy and strengthens ties with the United States, Duterte's supporters seem increasingly intolerable.
And the outbreak of this political war is not just in words. Duterte's threat to promote Mindanao's independence is simply a "declaration of breakup" in the political circles! He said, "No matter what we do, there will be another bad **," so he wants to push for popular signatures, verify the authenticity of the signatures, and eventually achieve the goal of separation from the state. This is reminiscent of some historical independence movements, but this time it was a "peaceful" breakup.
Don't underestimate this sea, this Mindanao island is on the cusp of political strife. Due to historical reasons, policy mistakes and the influence of international factors, this has always been the stronghold of the Philippine armed forces. Muslims live mainly in this area, and the policy of ** has been biased, sowing the seeds of contradiction here.
The region has been teetering on the brink of conflict for decades. In 2017, the Marawi crisis occurred, in which nearly 100,000 people were forcibly displaced. Last year, there was a fierce exchange of fire with the armed forces, and many people were killed. It seems that the conflict here is far from being resolved, and the political storm is raging here.
I have to say that Duterte's statement this time really makes things a bit like a political version of the "unemployed dog declaration". While the Philippines was still arguing over his remarks, people began to think that this so-called "unity team" had broken into pieces.
To be honest, this political storm is simply a big drama of infighting. However, we really can't tell the truth for a while. However, since it is the political version of "parental short", we have to watch it carefully and see what kind of chain reaction this "breakup" will trigger.
Finally, I don't know what you think, do you think this political storm is also a bit like a "Game of Thrones"? Anyway, the drama of politics is always unpredictable and enjoyable to watch. Stay tuned, fellow social observers, the new political drama continues! Political drama Philippine politics Duterte vs Marcos
