Recently, the families of Duterte and former Marcos in the Philippines attacked each other at a rally, exacerbating the tension between the two families. This war of words may lead to more political tensions in the Philippines and enter a stage of power struggle. Although Marcos, the Philippines, whose main task is to quell civil unrest, continues to provoke in the South China Sea, sending supplies to Chinese ships parked at Second Thomas Shoal. However, the Chinese coast guard ship monitored the whole process, and the Philippine side could only deliver daily necessities, but could not provide construction materials. In addition, Duterte plans to serve as chief prosecutor for Mindanao's independence and has proposed a referendum to separate the island. He believes that Marcos** has not improved the livelihood of Mindanao and is not in the interests of the island by confronting China. The Sulu Sultanate was once established on Mindanao, but after the independence of the Philippines, Muslims on the island were not treated equally, and economic aid and welfare did not keep up. Duterte is the island's first** and has a number of partnerships with China to help grow the economy. But after Marcos took office, these projects were shelved, causing discontent among the local population. As a result, although Duterte is only calling for independence for now, he has already won the support of many people on the island.
Duterte's plan in the Philippines raises the possibility of a civil war that could plunge the Philippines into chaos. He planned to separate Mindanao from the Philippines to protect the island's Muslim population. However, this plan may not only be about protecting the Muslim population, but also has other political motives. Duterte wants to protect his daughter, Sara Duterte, who is the mayor of Davao City and the favorite to vote in the next election. He feared that if Mindanao and the Philippines were separated, his daughter's political future could suffer. He hopes to secure his family's political status by separating Mindanao. However, this plan can have serious consequences. There are many separatist groups active in Mindanao, who have been fighting for independence. If Duterte implements his separation plan, these groups could unleash acts of violence, leading to the outbreak of civil war. This would pose a serious threat to the stability and unity of the Philippines. In addition, Marcos Jr.'s attempt to lift term limits has also caused displeasure in Duterte. Duterte sees this as a means for Marcos Jr. to try to regain power in the Philippines.
He fears that if Marcos Jr. succeeds in removing his term limit, he will lose his chance to run for the next term. And Mindanao's independence could also have an impact on the rest of the Philippines. There are similar separatist groups in the Visayas and Palawan Islands, which may be affected by the independence of Mindanao, exacerbating the situation in the Philippines. The level of political rift in the Philippines is likely to intensify further. If Marcos Jr. continues to stir up disputes in the South China Sea, the Philippines could face a bigger **. The South China Sea dispute has long been a dispute between the Philippines and China, and Marcos Jr.'s policies could exacerbate the issue and further ** the Philippines. Overall, the future of Philippine politics is fraught with uncertainty. Duterte's plan to separate Mindanao could trigger a civil war that threatens the stability and unity of the Philippines. And Marcos Jr.'s attempt to lift term limits has also sparked Duterte's displeasure and could exacerbate the Philippines' term. The level of political rift in the Philippines is likely to intensify further, and if Marcos Jr. continues to stir up disputes in the South China Sea, the Philippines could fall into an even bigger **.
At this critical juncture, the Philippines** needs to be handled cautiously to ensure the stability and unity of the country.
