Political loyalties continue to shift and voters’ preferences could change. The real political battle is happening away from traditional and social media, which influence survey results. Hindi pa talaga game over.
Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo on Friday said that if she was elected president, she would not let her vice president suffer the same fate she had under President Rodrigo Duterte.
This tends to suggest that the May 9, 2022 elections will be waged as a personality or beauty contest, without any serious discussion of how the nation is to be governed, and systemic corruption stamped out. The Filipino voter cannot predict anything after June 30, 2022. And the president-elect who had promised to institute radical change will realize that his powers, under the Constitution, are far too limited to allow such change.
