< p > 59:25! Duterte's daughter outpaces Marcos, and China keeps a close eye on the Filipino military at a critical moment. < / p > < p > A news story titled "Marcos' Support Rate Plunges" made it to the front pages of major Filipino media outlets. The latest results from the Philippine polling institution "Asia Pulse" show: < / p > < p > 1. Marcos' latest support rate has dropped directly from 42% in February to 25% now, a decrease of 17 percentage points; < / p > < p > 2. Duterte's daughter and Vice President Sara Duterte's support rate has been higher than Duterte's for months, and is now even up to 59%. < / p > < p > < img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-axegupay5k/4dc97dfdb3bb4b779cc6d5b5b8ac4060~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745804874&x-signature=wlG5GSKVoSnjVr2pwEx5E7sQ5%2Fw%3D" / > < / p > < p > 59:25! Sara has decisively outperformed Marcos. Currently, the Duterte family situation is as follows: Duterte himself is still under investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Netherlands. His first trial was completed long ago with little result. The second trial will take place in September this year, but the Duterte family believes that the ICC is delaying time, so they have requested the ICC to hold the trial earlier. However, until now, the ICC has not agreed to hold the trial earlier. Meanwhile, Duterte's chief lawyer has announced publicly: "We have enough evidence to prove that Mr. Duterte is innocent." < / p > < p > Duterte's daughter, Sara, stayed in the Netherlands for nearly a month to build an advisory legal team for her father before returning to the Philippines on April 7th. Before returning, she also publicly announced her father's wish: he wants to die in his own country even if he dies. < / p > < p > Sara's return has undoubtedly put Marcos on edge. Commentators believe: for Marcos, this means that although he arrested Duterte, he has not eliminated the threat of the Duterte family to himself. Moreover, more notably, the Philippine Senate recently investigated Marcos' assistance in ICC's arrest of Duterte. The result of the investigation is that the Senate believes: the Supreme Court of the Philippines has never approved this arrest action, and Marcos acted on his own. The official recognition of the Senate has undoubtedly greatly reduced Marcos' status in the minds of the people, directly leading to a further decline in his approval rating. < / p > < p > < img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-6w9my0ksvp/e05d4dd19934464a91c32160c8b9e7ba~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745804874&x-signature=ZLuCR5WSwxy8TPx1%2FZIEOTrFmsQ%3D" / > < / p > < p > All the above tell us one fact: Marcos' arrest of Duterte was like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own feet. He did not bring down Sara, but instead found himself in a very awkward situation. In this situation, the only thing Marcos can do is to provoke China to shift domestic contradictions and various dissatisfaction towards the outside world. However, China has already foreseen this and has been closely monitoring the Filipino military. < / p > < p > On April 20th, the Philippine corvette No. 36 illegally intruded into our Huangyan Island territorial waters. Our Southern Theater Command immediately took action and warned the warship away. That day, Senior Colonel Zhao Zhiwei, spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command Navy, made a statement, warning the Philippine side to immediately stop infringing and provoking, or bear the consequences themselves. < / p > < p > Any sensible person knows that Marcos has done all these things to cooperate with the United States' so-called Indo-Pacific strategy. For this reason, he disregarded years of friendship between China and the Philippines and neglected the safety of the Philippine people. As Vice President Sara said: "Currently, the Philippines is in its darkest period, and the people are starving." Marcos' term is already halfway through. If he cannot solve the people's hunger and high social crime rates, his term may not be completed. < / p > < p > < img src = "https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-6w9my0ksvp/203ca82956c34210addce112c8381521~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1745804874&x-signature=Z9WT3H%2BzlmWt3Z5e3OwNYNmiEHI%3D" / > < / p > < p > In May, the Philippine midterm election will begin, which will be another face-to-face confrontation between Marcos and the Duterte family. Now, all parties generally believe that the Marcos family will suffer a heavy blow. More information, let's continue to follow. At the same time, we should also pay special attention to the situation of the Philippine Navy in the near future. They may take risks again. < / p > < p > Original article: https://www.toutiao.com/article/7495565074266964495/ < / p > < p > Statement: This article represents the author's personal views.
