Philippine presidential candidate Marcos Jr. Votes

STORY: About 65 million Filipinos are eligible to cast ballots on Monday to decide on the successor to President Rodrigo Duterte after six years in power, plus thousands of other posts, from lawmakers and governors to city mayors and councillors.The election pits Vice President Leni Robredo against former senator and congressman Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the son and namesake of a dictator whose two decade rule ended in a public revolt and his family's humiliating retreat into exile.Opinion polls put Marcos, popularly known as "Bongbong," leading his rival by over 30 percentage points, having topped every poll this year. That means Robredo will need a late surge or low turnout if she is to win the presidency.Voters started lining up long before polls opened at 6 a.M. (2200 GMT Sunday), with polling stations due to operate for longer than usual because of COVID-19 precautions.Polls close at 7 p.M. And an unofficial vote count could give an indication of the winner within hours.
