Bong Bong Marcos. Recount of rigged 2016 election being stymied.

The problem here in the Philippines in general is monopoly supply. It’s as if competition is a crime, and single corporations get to control most markets – as with Shell and energy. Prices of electricity are outrageous and fuel keeps being jacked up. The poor Filipinos are ground down as prices eat away their living standards.

The President is not liked by the international cabal as he has sorted out the drugs industry making previously no-go areas pretty much safe. He has the support of the army and the Police. But the media and the main civil service do all they can to wreck his term, as do the corporations.

The Vice Presidency was rigged in the general election in May 2016, and the candidate who was robbed called Bong Bong Marcos, son of Ferdinand, is trying to get the result overturned two years later. The recount was going his way by a mile but the top four officials doing the recount have overnight stopped arriving at work, and it seems the cabal are going to keep the corrupt corporations’ friends’ Robredo in place.

If Duterte falls, she will automatically assume the Presidency. The VP is elected on a separate ticket to the Presidency.  Can he keep going with his fightback against the cabal with so many powerful forces ranged against him?
