Philippine politics, this has been really lively recently, like a carnival party, all kinds of topics emerge in endlessly, our old friend Duterte, the former president known for his "iron fist", actually decided to re-emerge, announced that he would go back to run for mayor of Davao City, this news came out, it was like dropping a "bomb", causing countless people to discuss, it was really big news
Duterte, as we all know, he is a legend in Philippine politics, although 79 years old, but this old man is not idle at all, it is simply "the older the more demonic", during his administration, the implementation of the "anti-drug war" made him famous, but at the same time it also caused a lot of controversy, and now, he has abdicated for a long time, but once again on the political stage, this is not a trivial matter

In this election, Duterte not only went out by himself, but also brought his son Sebastian to run together, father and son worked together to fight for the position of mayor and deputy mayor, this is really a good opportunity for "family reunion", plus his eldest son Paul will continue to compete for Congress, it can be said that this time the Du family is really a family mobilization
Speaking of the Duterte family, Davao City is their "base", and since 1988, the Duterte family has been holding power in the city, which is rare in a democracy, and for their supporters, the Duterte family's governance has made Davao City safer and more prosperous, forming a phenomenon of "family politics", but for opponents, this concentration of power is an infringement on democracy
Surprisingly, a growing number of recent polls in Davao City show that Duterte's approval rating is as high as 65%, a figure that many politicians dream of, and people have begun to speculate whether Duterte's return to politics is to pave the way for his daughter Sarah and prepare for the 2028 presidential election, or to continue to consolidate his family's power.

Compare the current President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Duterte's relationship with him is also unpredictable, the two were competitors of each other before, but now they are working together on this land, Marcos Jr.'s policies and practices are completely different from Duterte's style, such a collision will undoubtedly affect the future of the Philippines
In this case, what is the psychology of the citizens of Davao? Are they more inclined to continue to support Duterte, or are they looking forward to new changes? In this political maelstrom, the voice of the people is particularly important, and it will also have a direct impact on the direction of future elections
Besides, Duterte's "anti-drug campaign" during his tenure has received a lot of criticism in the international arena, but it has won a lot of support at home, and his personality charm and political skills can be said to complement each other.

Duterte's 22-year tenure as mayor in Davao City brings a wealth of governance experience, and he knows how to tap into popular sentiment to build his own base of support, which is undoubtedly a big advantage in the current campaign
For voters who like him, Duterte represents more than just a name, but a hope in their hearts, and his return seems to be a fierce rebellion against the status quo, hoping to regroup and continue to guide Davao City to a better future
Opponents are not polite about his return, arguing that it is merely paving the way for the Du family to solidify power, and they question Duterte and his family as an infringement on the democratic system as a reference to "family politics."

In this complex context, Duterte's campaign behavior is not only a personal choice, but also a family strategy, and some people speculate whether this old man has already laid out the layout to pave the way for the 2028 presidential election and let his daughter Sarah take over smoothly, after all, Davao City, as the regime guarded by the Du family for generations, is definitely not something that can be handed over casually
Duterte doesn't seem to care about the rhetoric of all sides, and the last time he showed his posture in public, it was still the "sharp" old man, saying that he has the ability to govern the city, and vowed to make Davao a better place, which is undoubtedly sending a strong message: he is still here, and Duterte can still influence the future of this land
Many people believe that politics knows no age, experience is king, and Duterte's return will cause a new turmoil, which is worth paying attention to
The picture comes from the Internet
I hope that in the future, Philippine politics can become more open, so that different voices have the opportunity to be heard, and no matter which side you are on, I hope Duterte can show his truest side
