Marcos didn't expect that someone around him betrayed him again this time.
The anti-corruption protests have hit more than 20 cities, almost to say, the biggest crisis since Marcos came to power, and because of this crisis, Marcos cancelled his trip to the United States to the United Nations General Assembly, and now the protest continues to ferment, and if Marcos handles it incorrectly, it is likely to cause political turmoil in the Philippines, and may even turn the Philippines.
Protests in the streets of the Philippines
The cause of things is the flooding in the Philippines in August, the Philippine people discovered that the government-built flood prevention project is entirely "tofu dust" project, as the investigation is getting deeper, the Philippine people discovered that the government has very serious corruption, this is undoubtedly a sunshine for the Philippine people facing multiple survival problems. Now, the scale of protests in the Philippines is growing, even in front of the Philippine presidential palace, is a scenery of burning, the police use tear guns and water cannons to disperse the crowd, never thought things are bigger and bigger, the scene a chaos.
In addition to the street protests, several high-ranking officials in the Philippines were threatened with bombs and even the presidential palace where Marcos lives was no longer safe. Philippine Interior Minister Joan Vick Remura said there were plans to set fire to the official palace of the Philippine president, which seriously jeopardized Marcos' personal safety. From the current point of view, this has been considered the biggest crisis since Marcos took office, and if he did not handle it well, he could face the threat of falling down.
Just as the protests and demonstrations intensified, the outside world delved into the mastermind of this anti-corruption rally. Some people said that it was done by the first lady of the Philippines, but the presidential palace of the Philippines came forward to refute the rumor that this was a "big lie" and a naked frame. The person who framed the first lady was Chavit Xinshun, the former governor of South Yilogo province and a wealthy businessman. He also became one of the masterminds behind the protests and demonstrations. A spokesman for the Philippine Presidential Office stressed that Xin Shun has broken up with Marcos and is calling for the overthrow of the president, and may even be one of the planners of this protest.
Marcos faces biggest crisis since taking office
The spokesman did not explain, but one thing is certain, that there is indeed the possibility of inciting riots. As the spokesman of the Philippine Presidential Office said, the riot broke up with Marcos, and the cause of things is to go back to 2022. From 1971, Cincinnati was elected governor of the province of New Irogo, in the Philippine politics has some influence, during the 2022 presidential campaign, he allied with the Marcos family to help Marcus be elected president of the Philippines, but in the end, Marcus did not give him half of the office, which made Cincinnati very unhappy, his own money out to the end and nothing from then, the relationship between the two is not very good. Fear that Marcus did not even think that Cincinnati could endure for more than 3 years, maybe Cincinnati
At the same time, the rising support rate of Duterte family also made Xin Shun see another choice. Different from the Marcos government, the support of the Lao Du family is getting louder and louder, and after the domestic anti-corruption campaign broke out, Sarah is not idle. She seized the "corruption" of Marcos Jr. and launched a "counterattack", not only asking the people involved to provide the flow of funds for flood control projects, but also asking relevant parties to face accounts face to face. She also asked Congress to thoroughly investigate the government budget for the whole year of last year.
Sarah's move can be described as a direct attack on Marcos. If the Marcos government can't explain every fund flow clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, which will not only affect Marcos' personal reputation, but also damage the credibility of the Marcos family again. After all, during his father's reign, there were serious corruption scandals. If Marcos Jr. embarks on his father's "old path", it is likely to completely ruin the political career of the Marcos family.
Sarah may have a good chance to fight back.
Now, the Marcos government has relented and expressed its willingness to accept the investigation, but it is aimed at the issue of donations received from contractors during the 2022 presidential election. In the eyes of the Philippine people, this is far from enough. If Marcos If you don't explain the specific issues of flood control funds clearly, I'm afraid it will only make your situation worse.
After all, water-powered boats can also boat, the Philippine people are the foundation of Marcos's rule, and if he does not handle this issue well, I am afraid that he will not have to wait until 2028, he is likely to end his political career in advance, which has undoubtedly made Sarah married.
