| Résumé: | For observers of the Philippines, the main concern during the 2022–2023 period was the course that Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s new administration would take. With Sara Duterte (daughter of Rodrigo Duterte) as his vice president and the looming shadow of his own father’s authoritarianism, it seemed plausible that his predecessor’s domestic and foreign policies would continue. While the Marcos administration has not proven a radical shift, neither has it followed the previous administration’s path on all fronts. In foreign policy, the Philippines has realigned itself with the United States; in domestic affairs, there have been some marginal improvements. With the administration being only one year old, it is difficult to predict what the future holds.
