I'm still a bit baffled by how big of a margin he won by. What changed between 2016 and now? In 2016 he couldn't even beat Leni for VP seat and now he's comfortably holding a massive 60% majority
@sndef888 bro sorry for the late reply and IF you may I'll give you some reason.
1) Marcos legacy, whatever crime or mistake his late father had done, there is no question that he is a brilliant statemen, lawyer and a Nationalist. He had done many good things for the country that people NOW understand due to the misrule of the Yellow elite and the Aquino family.
2) Name recall, BBM had done good when he is a mayor, governor and finally as senator, so his public service is acceptable compare that with Leni Robredo whose fame came from her deceased husband.
3)Combined forces with Sarah Duterte, Last year opinion polls Sarah Duterte garnered 25% while BBM had 21% while Robredo had 18% for the Presidency. IF Sarah Duterte don't give way to BBM it would be a tight race and here is where the US Plan A scenario is based. IF it's a tight election they can cheat by using SMARTMATIC since the margin will be small between the three. The daughter knowing of the Plan gave way with her father blessing to ensure and maintain the Duterte legacy.
4) Cheating of VP post in 2016 election, He fight and follow the judicial process even though the stake is against him as one of the Associate Justice of the supreme court is a Aquino appointee (Mr Leonen) and handle his court proceeding. The Biases is so obvious that it reflect the anger in this vote. The 2016 election Cheating is also blatant BUT we focus to much on Duterte becoming President that the Yellow Brigands were able to implement their Plan B by focusing on the VP post. In this way they can able to mount a People power revolution (Colored Revolution)to replace the sitting president.
5)The Yellow group incompetence, the 6 year of the Cory Aquino misrule and failed economic policy and another 6 of his son are two of our dark period as a Republic, Ohh!!! I forget to include Estrada 3 years ....lol
6) Continuity, BBM need to restore his family name and he is using Duterte as a means to achieved it. His platform and agenda are similar cause Duterte himself admired his father and copied a lot of ideas form him. So it went full circle for both, that's what make the Duo Team invincible as it capture the peoples imagination.
7) Duterte Magic, with the President Daughter as his running mate , his victory is assured...lol 68% approval rate , the most popular and loved Filipino politician ever.
