Abstract
The article focuses on the political landscape of the Philippines in 2024, highlighting the dissolution of the Marcos-Duterte alliance and its implications for governance and stability. Despite a strong electoral mandate in 2022, the partnership between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte unraveled due to policy disagreements and personal conflicts, leading to increased political instability. The article also discusses the administration's attempts to amend the 1987 Constitution, which faced significant public opposition and ultimately failed, further complicating the political environment. Additionally, the article examines the challenges posed by economic vulnerabilities and geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding China's assertiveness in the South China Sea, as the Philippines navigates a complex domestic and international landscape.
