THERE is a seismic shift under way in Philippine politics, and the numbers reveal a paradox too dangerous to ignore. President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. is losing ground. His trust and approval ratings are declining, according to surveys; his political base is demobilized, and yet, paradoxically, his senatorial slate under the 'Alyansa' coalition remains dominant.
Without a compelling narrative or energized base, BBM is bleeding support, squeezed between an increasingly militant Duterte camp and a consistently hostile anti-Marcos traditional opposition. This presents a strategic opening and a strategic risk. The anti-Duterte forces, composed of progressives, liberals, national democrats, independents and Marcos loyalists, must recognize a singular truth. If they remain fragmented, they will lose to the pro-Duterte forces in the long run.
Numbers Warn: Why Anti-Duterte Forces Must Unite Now
