The political war between the Marcos and Duterte dynasties has hit fever pitch as millions of Filipinos head to the polls in a high-stakes midterm election.
Impeached Vice President Sara Duterte fights for survival as the Senate vote could seal her political fate — while her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, stuns the world by running for mayor of Davao City from jail in The Hague, where he faces crimes against humanity charges.

Rodrigo Duterte’s unexpected victory in Davao has ignited nationwide outrage as opposition groups take to the streets, questioning the legitimacy of the results. Protesters and political critics are calling Duterte’s win a threat to Philippine democracy, alleging electoral manipulation and abuse of political power.
Despite being under legal scrutiny and facing mounting opposition, Duterte’s continued political dominance has shocked observers and reignited debate over the state of democratic freedoms in the country. Former political prisoners, civil society leaders, and youth activists have all joined a growing wave of dissent.
As protests intensify and demands for an independent investigation grow louder, is Philippine democracy at a breaking point?

Despite being held at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges related to his controversial war on drugs, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has won a stunning landslide victory in the Davao City mayoral race. Jubilant supporters flooded the streets of Davao, chanting his name, waving flags, and setting off fireworks to celebrate the unexpected triumph. Duterte's win—garnering over 660,000 votes—cements his family's political dominance, with multiple relatives also securing key posts. The victory sends a powerful message of enduring populist loyalty, even as international legal proceedings loom.

In a stunning political twist, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte has been elected mayor of Davao City with over 662,000 votes—despite being jailed in The Hague over his brutal war on drugs. The crowd erupted as the ICC detainee was proclaimed victor, defeating Karlo Nograles in a landslide. Duterte’s return cements his family’s grip on power, with sons, grandsons, and allies sweeping key positions. But as he faces charges of crimes against humanity, the question remains: Can a man rule from a jail cell—and what does this mean for the Marcos-Duterte power feud?

In a dramatic political comeback, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has clinched a landslide victory in Davao's mayoral race—despite being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of Murder as a crime against humanity. With 80% of votes counted, Duterte is winning by a margin of eight times over his closest rival. The ex-president’s arrest in March over his Bloody "war on drugs" crackdown only intensified support among his loyal base, with his old social media pages flooded with celebratory messages. If sworn in, Duterte would become the first former Asian head of state to hold office from ICC custody, while his sons also dominate local races

Tensions escalated in the South China Sea after China warned the European Union to stop “provoking trouble” and stay out of its territorial disputes with the Philippines. The sharp rebuke followed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas' visit to Manila, where she voiced concern over China's assertive actions. Beijing insisted the EU has no legal or diplomatic role in the matter, cautioning Manila not to rely on outside powers for resolution. The statement underscores China's hardened stance as geopolitical fault lines deepen in the contested maritime zone.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated sharply as China’s navy launched combat readiness patrols near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a territory claimed by the Philippines. The drills, confirmed by China’s state-run Xinhua agency, were aimed at reinforcing Beijing’s control over the contested region. The provocative move follows multiple maritime confrontations and comes amid rising regional unease. Meanwhile, South Korea has reported a surge in Chinese installations in the Yellow Sea, further stoking concerns about China’s expanding maritime assertiveness.

The Philippines is making a bold military move in the South China Sea, announcing new naval bases in Subic Bay, Mindanao, and Sibutu under its ‘Horizon 3’ defense program. Amid rising tensions with China, the expansion aims to strengthen coastal security from Scarborough Shoal to the Spratlys. President Marcos emphasized the need for enhanced naval capabilities. The move also supports trilateral patrols with Indonesia and Malaysia, while rejecting Beijing’s territorial claims and interference in Philippine waters.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.

In a dramatic diplomatic shift, the US is reportedly blocking Ukrainian President Zelensky from attending next month’s NATO summit in The Hague. Media reports suggest Ukraine’s membership bid is off the agenda to avoid friction with President Trump, who has ruled out NATO accession for Kiev. While Ukraine may attend minor sessions, it will be sidelined from top-level talks. Meanwhile, only a few non-member nations like Japan and Australia are invited. NATO’s message is clear — Ukraine may be an ally, but not a member, at least not any time soon.

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation.
