Since the battle of the Marcos government sent the former Philippine President Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the internal struggle between the two major political families of Douma and Ma appeared to have begun to smooth, the Marcos familyined the extreme repression of the Duterte family, but in reality the struggle has never stopped, and recently the Duterte family seized the opportunity to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Philippine President Marcos.
According to several media reports, the Philippine armed forces declared the state of "red alert" at the highest level due to mass protests nationwide, and a spokesman for the Philippine military said all troops in the country were in standby and cancelled leave.
A spokesman for the Philippine Presidential Office said that Marcos has always respected freedom of speech and supported people's expressions of dissatisfaction with corruption, has ordered an independent group to investigate the implementation of national flood prevention and other infrastructure projects, and suggested prosecution of those responsible for illegal acts.

From this, we also know the reason for the chaos in the Philippines-in August, the corruption incident of the Philippine government's flood control project was exposed. Under this situation, the voice of crusade in the Philippines continued, which immediately triggered protests. Until recently, the protests spread from local areas to the whole country, showing the possibility of getting out of control.
In such circumstances, the Marcos government is not able to hide the assurance, and can only order an investigation of the relevant issues to calm the public anger.
However, the investigation, whether acting or animated, has seen the riot as an important opportunity to push Marcos down, some opposition lawmakers have pointed out that Marcos is also facing numerous corruption issues, and the Philippine House Speaker, Marco's cousin Martin Marcos is more exposed to involvement in a $4 billion corruption case.

Meanwhile, Duterte’s daughter, Philippine Vice President Sarah, called for an extension of the scope of the investigation, not to be limited to the flood prevention scandal, but also to review all government spending in two fiscal years.
It can be seen that the political situation in the Philippines can be said to have come to a very dangerous situation, the Marcos family in the past few years to consolidate the power of too many enemies, there is a sense of wall overturn people pushed, the same for Marcos, now the only way to save is the power in his hands, if driven down, himself and his family must face liquidation.
Of course, the situation of the Marcos crisis also affects its diplomatic route, and since August, the Philippines has been crazy about creating incidents on the South China Sea issue, essentially trying to incite hostility to China and shift the domestic attention to the flood prevention engineering scandal.

To be honest, this way is extremely dangerous, if Marcos played the fire, the domestic diplomatic trouble would be more severe, and the Chinese side would not get used to Marcos at the expense of damaging Sino-Filipino relations, fighting for his family's chance to breathe.
A spokesman for the Liberation Army's Southern War Zone, the Air Force Collegiate, just warned the Philippines on September 14th that it should immediately stop provoking incidents and escalating tensions in the South China Sea, and that it would be in vain to introduce external forces to support it.
China's intention is very clear, no matter what the Philippines intends to do in the South China Sea, no matter how many countries the Marcos government pulled to the South China Sea for the Philippine support, as long as it crossed the Chinese red line, being counter-controlled is the inevitable result, Marcos should not and should not resolutely be able to shift domestic contradictions in a way that damages China-Philippines relations.
Philippine ships
The Chinese side said it hard, and believed that Marcos also understood the interests thereof, it should be said that the situation in the South China Sea will be relatively smooth in the future, unless Marcos really planned to challenge domestic contradictions in the South China Sea regardless of the consequences.
As for the outcome of the Philippine struggle, I think the Duterte family will not be able to force Marcos to resign for an hour and a half, because the Marcos family and the Philippine military are a community of interests, and it is unlikely to stand alongside the Duterte family to counter Marco, which determined Sarah's counter-efforts, which can only be a few strikes on the Marcos family, not a fatal strike.
