The political war between the Marcos and Duterte dynasties has hit fever pitch as millions of Filipinos head to the polls in a high-stakes midterm election.
Impeached Vice President Sara Duterte fights for survival as the Senate vote could seal her political fate — while her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, stuns the world by running for mayor of Davao City from jail in The Hague, where he faces crimes against humanity charges.

Protesters and political critics are calling Duterte’s win a threat to Philippine democracy, alleging electoral manipulation and abuse of political power.
Despite being under legal scrutiny and facing mounting opposition, Duterte’s continued political dominance has shocked observers and reignited debate over the state of democratic freedoms in the country. Former political prisoners, civil society leaders, and youth activists have all joined a growing wave of dissent.
As protests intensify and demands for an independent investigation grow louder, is Philippine democracy at a breaking point?

Despite being held at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges related to his controversial war on drugs, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has won a stunning landslide victory in the Davao City mayoral race. Jubilant supporters flooded the streets of Davao, chanting his name, waving flags, and setting off fireworks to celebrate the unexpected triumph. Duterte's win—garnering over 660,000 votes—cements his family's political dominance, with multiple relatives also securing key posts. The victory sends a powerful message of enduring populist loyalty, even as international legal proceedings loom.

In a stunning political twist, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte has been elected mayor of Davao City with over 662,000 votes—despite being jailed in The Hague over his brutal war on drugs. The crowd erupted as the ICC detainee was proclaimed victor, defeating Karlo Nograles in a landslide. Duterte’s return cements his family’s grip on power, with sons, grandsons, and allies sweeping key positions. But as he faces charges of crimes against humanity, the question remains: Can a man rule from a jail cell—and what does this mean for the Marcos-Duterte power feud?

In a dramatic political comeback, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has clinched a landslide victory in Davao's mayoral race—despite being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of Murder as a crime against humanity. With 80% of votes counted, Duterte is winning by a margin of eight times over his closest rival. The ex-president’s arrest in March over his Bloody "war on drugs" crackdown only intensified support among his loyal base, with his old social media pages flooded with celebratory messages. If sworn in, Duterte would become the first former Asian head of state to hold office from ICC custody, while his sons also dominate local races

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.

Japan is on high alert as government officials warn of an imminent "Nankai Trough megaquake" that could killnearly 300,000 people. A recent seismic risk assessment puts the probability of a magnitude 8+ earthquake at 75–82% within the next 30 years. The quake would likely be followed by devastating tsunamis. The undersea Nankai Trough has a long history of producing catastrophic seismic events every 100–200 years—the last occurred in 1946. Public fears intensified after a 1999 manga by famed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki resurfaced, eerily predicting a massive rupture between Japan and the Philippines. The Japan Meteorological Agency has dismissed such claims as unscientific, yet growing panic has led to travel cancellations. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has rolled out a new national plan to bolster infrastructure and emergency response, urging citizens to brace for a worst-case scenario. The looming danger poses one of the gravest threats to Japan’s national security in decades.

Tensions escalated in the South China Sea after China warned the European Union to stop “provoking trouble” and stay out of its territorial disputes with the Philippines. The sharp rebuke followed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas' visit to Manila, where she voiced concern over China's assertive actions. Beijing insisted the EU has no legal or diplomatic role in the matter, cautioning Manila not to rely on outside powers for resolution. The statement underscores China's hardened stance as geopolitical fault lines deepen in the contested maritime zone.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

At NATO’s 2025 summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump hijacked the global stage — demanding 5% defense spending, mocking Iran and Israel as “kids in a schoolyard,” and claiming NATO leaders secretly praise him.
But the real shock? NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump a “truly extraordinary peacemaker” — even repeating the bizarre line:
“Daddy, you’re my daddy.”
European diplomats were stunned, embarrassed, and silent — as Trump turned a strategic summit into a personal victory lap.
Critics say the event was scripted to feed Trump’s ego, not focus on Ukraine, Iran, or NATO’s long-term survival.
So… is NATO collapsing under political flattery? Or is Trump just reshaping it on his own terms?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a brutal call for justice, demanding Russian President Vladimir Putin be tried as a war criminal for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Speaking before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Zelensky signed a landmark accord to establish a special tribunal to prosecute top Russian officials for crimes of aggression. Zelensky didn’t hold back: “The Hague is waiting. Hunt every war criminal – start with Putin.” The move sends a powerful signal to Moscow – that international justice is coming, and accountability will not be avoided.
Will Europe and the international community back the tribunal? And how will Russia respond to this unprecedented legal offensive?
Watch the full report and analysis. Justice is no longer a question — it’s a promise.

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a “big win,” while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.

Donald Trump has issued a BIG ultimatum to the U.S. Senate over his controversial “Big Beautiful Bill.” In a fiery statement, Trump warned lawmakers that if they fail to pass the sweeping legislation, Americans could face a staggering 68% tax hike.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

With time ticking toward Trump’s July 4th deadline, Vance warns of rising taxes and weakened immigration enforcement if the bill fails. Democrats slam cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, while Republicans haggle over final changes. The high-stakes vote could reshape America’s domestic policy—if it survives the chaos in Congress.
