As Filipinos head to the polls, some voters in Alaska bet on a political dynasty

Hundreds of voters in the Philippine national elections will be waiting for the results in Alaska. And some hope the outcome makes way for a return to the past.

This story is just crazy. The dude fled the Philippines after Ferdinand Marcos was deposed and somehow kept dual citizenship and voted for Bongbong in the recent election.

    Honestly I've been looking for localized leftist sources to learn more about this election. I know he's the son of a dictator, but I interact with Filipinos on the regular who say that doesn't matter and he was the best choice. There's a huge "martial law was fake news" culture that seems to have been pushed by the Marcos team on social media. Politics in the Philippines are very strange and using U.S. standards as an analog is not adequate.
