Philippines The new President Marcos has had a bumpy journey, hard work, and glory.

html lost his mother at the age of 09 and his father at the age of 32. He lived in exile in another country with his parents for 5 years.

first studied at Oxford University and without getting a degree. Then he went to university in the United States and still didn't get a degree.

In this way, a person with no academic qualifications finally became the 17th President of the Philippines with the support of his strong family and mother.

Let's first look back and learn about his father Marcos Sr. and his mother Imelda.

’s father Marcos (Old Marcos), his father is a Chinese with the surname Cai from Fujian. The 6th-10th President of the Philippines. After 21 years of dictatorship, the Philippines' national strength has greatly increased. With the help of the United States, after World War II, the Philippines was second only to Japan in Asia. It was once the second and third place in Asia. The Marcos administration was the peak period of economic construction in the Philippines.. The Marcos regime was overthrown in 1986 and he fled to the United States.

Marcos died in Honolulu in 1989 at the age of 72.

The Philippines has since bid farewell to dictatorship and moved toward democracy, and its economy has plummeted. Compared with the Marcos dictatorship, it is a world of difference.

On November 8, 2016, Philippine President Duterte allowed Marcos' body to be buried in the Heroes Cemetery and was given a 21-gun salute.

▲Mother Imelda, known as the "Iron Butterfly". At the age of 23, Imelda, who only carried 5 pesos (equivalent to 1 yuan), went to Manila to explore the world alone. . In 1953, 24-year-old Imelda got married to Marcos and gave birth to their son Marcos Jr. in 1957.

1974: Imelda Marcos and her son Marcos Jr. sang "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" to Chairman Mao

1975: Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping jointly met with Imelda.

Imelda also ran for president twice in 1992 and 1998, but failed.

To this day, 93-year-old Imelda still influences the entire family and has a strong appeal.

Marcos , 34 years old in 1991, returned to China after five years of exile.

In 1980, under the arrangement of his parents, the 23-year-old Marcos served as the deputy governor of his hometown of Ilocos Norte. He was promoted to governor in 1983 and was elected to the Senate in 2010.

▲The Marcos family has been working hard to rebuild its image. Although Duterte never officially supported Marcos Jr., it is obvious that the two political families have long been close to each other, and Duterte also paved the way for the Marcos family's comeback during his tenure.

In 2016, Duterte allowed Marcos to be transferred to the Philippine Heroes Cemetery despite domestic controversy. In 2017, the centennial anniversary of Marcos, Duterte delivered a speech praising Marcos.

This time, Marcos Jr. was elected as the 17th president, and Duterte’s daughter was elected as the vice president. This is also the result of the two families supporting each other politically.

does not rule out that the next president of the Philippines will be Duterte’s daughter Sarah.
