China News Service, May 10. In the early morning of the 10th local time, the preliminary statistics of the Philippine general election showed that among more than 90% of the votes that had been counted, Marcos, the son of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, won nearly 30 million. With more than 50% of the votes, he won the 2022 presidential election with a simple majority ahead of his main rival, incumbent Vice President Robredo.

　　This result is within the forecast of the outside world.

Polls before the election showed that Marcos was leading the way, and the Philippine media also predicted that his victory was "almost without suspense."

On May 9, local time, Marcos voted at a polling station in the northern Philippines.

　　Marcos was born in 1957 and is 64 years old.

When he was only 8 years old, his father Marcos entered the presidential palace.

Although he grew up under the aura of his father, his childhood dream was actually to be an astronaut or a rock singer.

　　After studying in the United Kingdom and the United States, Marcos returned to the Philippines at the age of 23, and then entered the political arena, becoming the deputy governor of Ilocos Norte at a young age.

　　But at the height of his political career, the Marcos regime was overthrown in 1986, and he followed his father into exile in Hawaii.

Three years later, Marcos died locally, ending his controversial life.

　　But Marcos' political career didn't end there.

In 1991, he returned to the Philippines again, from governor to senator, and in the 2016 vice-presidential election, he was narrowly defeated by Robredo.

　　In October 2021, Marcos announced his candidacy for the 2022 Philippine presidential election through social media. At that time, the situation of this election was not clear, not only the current President Duterte's daughter Sarah was regarded as a popular candidate for the president. , "Boxing champion" Pacquiao and former movie star, Manila Mayor Domagoso also joined the campaign.

　　Compared to them, Marcos is even at a disadvantage because of some negative comments during his father's tenure.

　　However, Reuters analysis said that thanks to the good use of social media, Marcos has won a high support rate among the younger generation, and this generation has not been born during the Marcos administration.

　　Marcos once revealed his heart when announcing his candidacy: "The new crown pneumonia crisis is one of the most severe tests in the history of our country. Only unified leadership can lead us through this crisis, let our people return to work safely, let us Everyone starts a new life. That's why I am announcing my candidacy for president today."

　　"Returning" to the Presidential Palace as president and how to bring the Philippines out of the double haze of the epidemic and economic recession is a new test for him.
