The 

presidency of Bongbong Marcos began at noon on June 30, 2022, following

his inauguration as the 17th president of the Philippines, succeeding Rodrigo Duterte. His term is
expected to end six years later, on June 30, 2028.
Bongbong Marcos is the son of 10th president Ferdinand Marcos, who was in power from 1965 to
1986. He belongs to the prominent and controversial Marcos family.
Marcos assumed the presidency over the Philippines as the world was still struggling from the
economic and social impact brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its negative effects were
further amplified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Marcos initiated the rightsizing of government bureaucracy, especially in the executive branch of the
government.[1] His administration oversaw the post-pandemic return to normalcy with the gradual
reopening of the economy, return of face-to-face/physical classes, and the easing of the wearing of
face mask mandate. However, rising inflation was seen as a major challenge during the beginning of
his presidency.

2022 election[edit]
Main articles: Bongbong Marcos 2022 presidential campaign and 2022 Philippine presidential
election

Marcos won in 64 out of 81 provinces in the 2022 presidential election[2]

Marcos ran for president on a campaign platform centered on national unity and continuity of the
policies of Rodrigo Duterte, his predecessor.[3][4] He won the 2022 elections, receiving 31,629,783
(58.77%) votes out of a total of 56,097,722, beating his closest rival, Liberal Party member and Vice
President Leni Robredo by over 15 million votes.[5]
Marcos became the first candidate in the history of the Fifth Republic to win by a majority, scoring
nearly 59 percent of the vote. His 31,629,783 votes was not only the highest count ever recorded in
a presidential election, but close to the sum total of the two previous records combined.
