On May 9 this year, elections will take place in the Philippines. Under the country’s constitution, president Rodrigo Duterte is ineligible to run again, but even though he is due to depart Malacañang Palace, overthrowing Duterte’s legacy — not to mention the long shadow of authoritarianism — will be a harder task.

Duterte’s daughter Sara Duterte is running for vice president on the presidential ticket of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, son of the late, deposed dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Marcos came to power in 1965 and used martial law in 1972 to extend his dictatorship until 1986. Although his official salary never exceeded USD$13,500, according to the Supreme Court of the Philippines, during this time Marcos amassed a fortune of $10 billion. It was enough to earn him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the “greatest robbery of government.” This, however, pales in comparison to the far bloodier price paid by the people of the Philippines. Amnesty International reports that during Marcos’s rule, his forces imprisoned 70,000 people, tortured 34,000, and killed over 3,200.

Marcos was overthrown by the People Power Revolution in February 1986. Despite this, shortly after coming to power in 2016, Duterte ordered that Marcos be reinterred with full military honors in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Cemetery for Heroes). At present, Marcos’s son is leading the presidential polls.
