Activist Groups Hold Mass Protest Against Marcos Jr. Election

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - MAY 25: Riot police officers stand guard as anti-Marcos activists take part in a protest against election results at the Commission on Human Rights office on May 25, 2022 in Quezon city, Metro Manila, Philippines. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is set to be proclaimed as the winner for the hotly contested presidential election marred by several incidents of violence and numerous complaints of faulty vote counting machines. Marcos, the son and namesake of ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. who was accused and charged of amassing billions of dollars of ill-gotten wealth as well as committing tens of thousands of human rights abuses during his autocratic rule, mounted a hugely popular campaign based largely on disinformation to return his family name to power. Also poised to win the vice presidency is Mayor Sara Duterte of Davao City, the daughter of outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte, who is the subject of an international investigation for alleged human rights violations during his war on drugs.
