Voters in the Philippines will head to the polls on Monday to elect the next president, facing a choice between incumbent vice-president Leni Robredo and the son of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who was overthrown following an uprising in 1986.The upcoming election is a direct two-way contest between the former dictator’s son Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr and human rights lawyer and leader of the “pink revolution” Leni Robredo, who narrowly beat him in the 2016 vice-presidential contest.Filipinos will also vote to choose a vice-president, 12 senators, hundreds of congressmen and thousands of governors, mayors and local councillors.The three-month-long campaign ended on Saturday with Mr Marcos and Ms Robredo making a last-ditch effort to win over voters. Although their divisive campaign ended without the incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte openly backing either contender, his party has been pushing its support for his daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio, the running mate of Mr Marcos.According to surveys, Mr Marcos and Ms Duterte-Carpio, both of whose fathers ruled the island country with an iron fist, are ahead in the race, despite Ms Robredo’s crowd-pulling pop concert rallies.RecommendedBritish army chief warns UK must act to prevent war and says Ukraine is new ‘1937 moment’Philippines orders shutdown of Nobel Peace laureate’s investigative news site RapplerWorld’s deepest shipwreck discovered 7,000m down on sea floor off PhilippinesIn their heavily social media-based campaign, the duo whitewashed the brutalities associated with their fathers’ administrations, and fell short of specifying their vision for the future, but managed to resonate with a section of Filipinos with their populist slogan of “unity”.The choreographed campaign made deft use of social media, primarily TikTok and YouTube, to push the idea of “Uniteam”. At the same time, critics have accused Mr Marcos of unleashing an army of trolls to smear his opponents and revise his family’s history online.“His message really is very well crafted with this avoidance strategy. Let’s stop talking about the past, let’s stop fighting about what those martial law years really looked like, and let’s look forward, let’s move forward,” Adele Webb, author and lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology, told the Associated Press.Instead of apologising for his father’s regime, which was characterised by corruption, years of martial law and a harsh crackdown on dissent, Mr Marcos, 64, has embraced the association of his family name by portraying the late dictator’s decades in office as a time of prosperity and national pride.Presidential hopeful, former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr
