Not Everything Is About Her
2025
Overview
If Rodrigo Duterte' presidential victory in 2016 ushered in a period of democratic backsliding, halting the liberal democratic order established after the 1986 People Power Revolution, then the election of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice-President Sara Duterte in 2022 consolidated two dynastic families with authoritarian and populist tendencies. But in a country where political parties are weak, personalities dominate and alliances rarely survive beyond election day, observers quickly wondered how long this new partnership might endure. Unsurprisingly, cracks started to appear immediately after the 2022 elections, and by 2024, the UniTeam alliance had unraveled. Rodrigo Duterte criticized Marcos Jr.'s leadership style as well as his administration's firmer stance against China in the South China Sea and its return to a traditional alliance with the United States. The House of Representatives initiated investigations into suspicious budgetary spending by Sara Duterte. In November 2024, she angrily accused President Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez of weak leadership, corruption and plotting to remove her from office ahead of a potential 2028 presidential bid. She also admitted to hiring an assassin to kill them should they succeed in plotting against her life.
