Recently, there have been some internal strife in the Philippines, and it seems that some places are trying to seek independence. This poses no small challenge for the current Marcos, especially in the face of strong opposition from the former Duterte family. The Duterte family not only opposes Marcos' frequent plans to amend the constitution, but even threatens to lead Mindanao's 25 million people to independence.
Duterte reportedly held a late-night press conference in Davao City, the capital of Mindanao, where he publicly slammed Marcos**'s constitutional amendments and threatened to allow the region to gain independence through a referendum. Mindanao is a populous and economically important region of the Philippines and the core of the Duterte family's power, and his influence there cannot be underestimated.
To put it simply, in Mindanao, Duterte is louder than Marcos because his influence there is even greater. In addition, Mindanao's geographical independence could also exacerbate political instability in the Philippines. If Duterte does ask for independence, it is difficult to predict whether it will succeed or not, but Marcos will certainly have a headache.
Faced with this situation, Marcos has said that he will use "authority and force" to respond to his attempts. The Philippine adviser issued a statement saying that any country's plot will be hit, although he did not name it, but everyone understands that it is aimed at Duterte.
At the same time, the Armed Forces of the Philippines are also required to remain loyal to the Constitution and remain united. Marcos fears that under Duterte's influence, parts of the army may defect. This shows that the contradictions between the Marcos and Duterte families have become very acute and the consequences are difficult to predict.
In addition to domestic contradictions, Marcos** also has to face the South China Sea issue. Recently, they have stirred up trouble in the South China Sea in an attempt to divert attention from domestic contradictions. However, if the domestic situation deteriorates to a certain extent, they continue to provoke China in the South China Sea, which will put the Philippines in a situation of internal and external troubles, which is by no means a good thing for **.
Marcos** has taken a line of pandering to the United States, provoking China in the South China Sea. Instead, Duterte's administration opted for pragmatic cooperation with China. The difference between these two positions has led to the emergence of various contradictions.
In general, Duterte may simply want to warn Marcos and the domestic faction not to go overboard in the domestic struggle. He probably doesn't really want Mindanao to become independent, but rather wants to force Marcos to compromise in this way.
To sum up, the recent internal contradictions and external provocations in the Philippines have brought serious challenges to Marcos**. Properly handling domestic contradictions and properly addressing the South China Sea issue is crucial to the stability and development of the Philippines. In the face of a complex situation, it is necessary to remain calm and seek reasonable solutions to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country.
