#IsMarcosSick This propaganda war surrounding the head of state's health is essentially a power realignment following the open split of the ruling coalition of the two major political families in the Philippines. Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s resignation due to illness ushered in the constitutional system of the Fifth Republic of the Philippines; now, the rumors surrounding Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s health, coupled with the connection to Article 12 of the Constitution, are paving the way for Sara Duterte's rise to the pinnacle of power. When this political charade cannot conceal the systemic lack of transparency, the constitutional right of succession to the vice presidency is no longer merely a clause, but transforms into a substantial wave of political coup. If the Marcos family cannot break this vicious cycle of history and reality with absolutely transparent medical evidence, the trend of the balance of power tilting toward Sarah will be irreversible.
