A major political storm has erupted in the Philippines, pitting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. against Vice President Sara Duterte in a bitter feud that is testing the nation's democracy. The once-united front between the two leaders, who won in a landslide victory just over two years ago on a platform of national unity, has crumbled due to significant differences.
One of the key points of contention is their divergent stances on relations with the United States and China. Additionally, Marcos' rejection of the violent anti-drug campaign initiated by Duterte's father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, has further strained their relationship.
