- Bongbong Marcos aims to run for the presidential election
- Marcos stated that he plans to build a more egalitarian system of government for the country
Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is now eyeing the top spot in Malacañang.
In one interview with a London-based newspaper Financial Times, Marcos stated his interest to run in the next presidential elections when the term of current president Rodrigo Duterte expires.
He expressed that people aspire to obtain the excessive stature inside their chosen area, and his is politics, which might be the position of the president in his case.
Marcos said that it is not something that he planned to do overnight, but it’s because of his desire to build a “more egalitarian system of government.” He also stated that the country must come into a sort of way of living with China.
“With the Philippines being such a strategic place and with your traditional strong relationship with the US and China as an emerging superpower, it puts us in a very difficult spot,”
Marcos lost the vice presidency race to now Vice President Leny Robredo. He has filed an electoral protest and accused Robredo and the Liberal Party of cheating.
The Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, is currently re-counting the votes in chosen three pilot provinces.
