Philippines: Marcos Orders Cabinet Purge After Duterte Camp Shows Midterm Strength

In a dramatic political shake-up, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered all cabinet secretaries to tender their resignations, branding the move a "bold reset" for his administration. The decision follows a disappointing midterm election, where Marcos’ allies failed to dominate the Senate — a result widely seen as a reflection of public frustration. Adding fuel to the fire, Vice President Sara Duterte’s camp outperformed expectations, intensifying tensions between the two camps. Marcos, whose approval rating has dropped sharply to just 25 per cent, cited a need to refocus the government on results and accountability.
