Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, commonly known by his nickname Bongbong, has been gearing up for a battle that could decide his political future.
Monday's midterm elections are, in effect, a showdown between Marcos and his Vice-President Sara Duterte, daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
The pair, who each represent the country's most powerful families, won the 2022 election together - but their alliance has since collapsed.
The midterms are a test for the presidency of 67-year-old Marcos, the son of an ousted dictator who rebranded his father's turbulent reign to make a startling comeback in the 2022 election.
