She's Rodrigo Dueterte's daughter. I guess that whole family is fucked up

I don’t mean to make this about the US, but it’s nice to know that the world is full of idiots voting against their best interests.

[president Marcos] is the second child and only son of 10th president, kleptocrat and dictator Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Marcos
