The feud between Duterte and Romualdez.
In recent times, the rivalry between Duterte and Marcos has become increasingly fierce in Philippine politics. Philippine Deputy Sara Duterte questioned Congressional Spokeswoman Romualdez why she was called "Marcos' ally." Sarah did not respond positively to the topic of maintaining unity, only saying that she and Marcos formed an alliance in the most recent **, and now they are one president and one vice player, playing for the Philippines together. Philippine Congressional Speaker Romualdez is a cousin of Marcos Marcos Marcos (Marcos Marcos Marcos) in the Philippines. Romuldez and Marcos Jr. are very close, and he takes Marcos with him every time he travels. The Romuldez-controlled Congress has recently put pressure on Duterte's family, taking secrets from his deputy and removing some people with close ties to Duterte's family, such as former Arroyo and Sarah's political adviser. In addition, Congress is also pushing ahead with a campaign against Duterte"War on Drugs"The thorough investigation was an attempt to bring Lao Du into the ICC trial proceedings. Such a move makes people feel that things are very serious, and it is also very strange why Marcos Jr. did not come out to persuade him.
Sarah openly questioned why Romuldez attacked the "Marcos regime's allies", when in reality it was a Duterte-Marcos feud. Congress is targeting the Duterte family because, on the one hand, Romuldez played"People"role, on the other hand, because of the political purpose of Marcos himself. They disagreed on a number of issues, such as whether to conduct a full investigation"War on Drugs", whether to amend the constitution, etc. In addition, the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines hampered Marcos**'s platform of governance. Although Marcos hinted at the possibility of a return to the ICC, on the other hand, he said he would not help Duterte's criminal activities. Marcos Jr.'s vacillating stance once created a sense of ambivalence in the outside world. He must weigh the stakes of all parties to maximize their political benefits.
Sarah's revolt and Marcos' hesitation.
Sarah is not blindly defensive, but is making a fierce resistance. In the Philippines, she has publicly stated her candidacy and sparked a heated public debate. Although Marcos Jr. has a term of less than two years and the next election is still a long way off, Sarah is ready for war. This makes one wonder what her true purpose is. Some have speculated that Sarah may step down from her deputy position and return to her hometown of Davao City to bolster Duterte's influence. But Sarah categorically denied the claim, saying she would not quit the job. Marcos Jr. simply said that maybe she was just testing the temperature, and Marcos didn't say anything more about what it was. Sarah made it clear that she and Romuldez didn't have a deep friendship and didn't know the person at all.
While Sarah's feud with Romualdez may have been private, it was now a serious feud. Amy, Marcos's sister, had said earlier that Romuldez should stop fighting Sarah, and she didn't like him. Sarah expressed her gratitude and insisted that the Duterte family had always played for the country. She implied that Romualdez suppressed her by opposing the interests of the nation. Although Romuldez has spoken many times between him and Sarah"Very good"But Sarah doesn't think so, she doesn't think the friendship between the two is enough, and she doesn't know Romualdez enough.
In general, the feud between Marcos and the Duterte family involves many aspects. While it's unclear whether Marcos Jr. intends to clean up the Duterte family once and for all, his hesitation is clear. If he agrees, it will be equivalent to a complete solution to Duterte, but this time may not be the best opportunity to tear up the Duterte family. In addition, the two parties have different opinions on the revision of the constitution. Romuldez only carried out the order, and it was Marcos Jr. who commanded, not him. However, because of his father Marcos, Marcos Jr. was not fit to revise the constitution in person. At present, the Constitution of the Philippines was promulgated after Marcos***, and if Marcos** fully intervenes, it is very likely to evoke the pain of the past in the Philippines and cause negative impact.
The revision of the Constitution is a major event, and it will inevitably touch on some sensitive issues within the Philippines, such as the historical review of Marcos, the image of the Marcos family in the eyes of the people, and so on. Marcos Jr. was hesitant, perhaps for fear that his political reputation would be damaged or that he would cause social unrest. He must weigh the stakes of all parties to maximize their political benefits.
In any case, the rivalry between Marcos and Duterte is getting bigger and bigger, and it involves many aspects. As vice president, Sarah was not only suppressed by Romuldez, but also Marcos's indifference to her, which made it difficult for her to accept. Although Marcos Jr. has maintained a good relationship with Sarah, his hesitation suggests that he is on Duterte's side. As the election date draws closer, the political rivalry is bound to intensify this time around.
