MANILA, Philippines - Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was elected mayor by a landslide in his home country.

The Davao Election Commission announced that Duterte won the Davao Mayor’s match, and official statistics show that he won 660,000 votes, eight times his closest competitor. When the results were announced, cheerful supporters chanted "Dutert, Duterte."

His youngest son, Davao, is currently Mayor Sebastian, has been declared deputy mayor of Davao. His eldest son, Paolo, was elected to the House of Representatives, and his two grandchildren won the local competition, indicating the family's continued influence.

"Davao's Duterte Slide!" His youngest daughter Veronica posted on Facebook.

Partially informal results suggest that at least five candidates supported by the Duterte family were also supported by the Duterte family in Monday’s midterm elections. Pre-election investigations show that only two of them will win.

The result was to push for the promotion of Duterte's daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, ahead of the impeachment trial in the Senate in July, including a series of charges including alleged abuse of public funds and the planned assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife and House Speaker.

Sara Duterte is considered a strong contender for the 2028 presidential campaign. However, if convicted by the Senate, she will be unemployed and will be disqualified from office forever. To be acquitted, she needs at least nine of the 24 senators to vote for her.

The results of the Senate race will be known within a week. In addition to five candidates supported by Duterte, other leaders in the top 12 include Marcos and five other people recognized by two opposition candidates.

Jean Franco, a political science professor at the University of the Philippines, said that while the Senate match was encouraging, the jury was still on the way the improvisation trial was conducted. If damn evidence was presented to her, Franco said it could undermine her chances of acquittal.

Franco added that unofficial results in the Senate also show that support for Marcos fell in April and his approval rate dropped, which could bring surprises in the 2028 election.

Marcos thanked the Filipinos who voted, saying: "Our democracy has restored itself - peace, order and dignity."

"We may not have won all seats, but our work and mission continue," he added.

The arrest and transfer of the Impotence and Rodrigo Duterte to the court in The Hague after the uncovered political differences and its competitive ambitions between Marcos and Sara Duterte. Duterte supporters slammed the Marcos administration for arresting and surrendering the former leader to his supporters for jurisdiction over disputes.

Duterte, nicknamed "The Punisher" and "Dirty Harry", has been the mayor of Davao City for twenty years before serving as president. He has been detained at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands since March, awaiting trial of crimes against humanity, allegedly a brutal war on illegal drugs, which has left thousands of suspects dead during his presidency in 2016-2022.

Under Philippine law, candidates facing criminal charges, including in custody, unless convicted and exhausted of all appeals.

Sara Duterte told reporters after a vote on Monday that she was negotiating with her father’s lawyers to talk about how he was sworn in as mayor, despite being in jail. She once said that the deputy mayor mayor mayor.
