Democracy was once regarded as the lifeblood and a key pillar of the Philippine's political life. But today, it's at a critical turning point. Since the rise of Mr Rodrigo Duterte, his war of drugs has created fragile institutions which are prone to abuse.

And now, after Duterte, Bongbong Marcos, son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, has emerged as the clear favourite to win the Presidential race. The upcoming national elections could well determine the country's democratic future.
