Deep, deep cracks in the Marcos-Duterte alliance

The political gap between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte is widening, with former senator Leila De Lima's release contributing to the strains. Key events such as the removal of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from a political position, investigations into Vice President Sara Duterte, and the confrontation with the International Criminal Court (ICC) have also contributed to the political tension. The potential impact on Sara Duterte's political career and Marcos Jr.'s declining approval ratings due to governance concerns and corruption allegations is anticipated.
