2022 presidential election

The 2022 presidential elections in the Philippines and Brazil serve as background context for recent news events. In the Philippines, the 2022 election saw Ferdinand Marcos Jr. elected president and Sara Duterte as vice-president. Recent news focuses on Duterte's announcement that she will run for president in 2028, signaling a potential future political contest. This is newsworthy due to her current role as Vice-President and a reported feud with President Marcos Jr. In Brazil, the 2022 election resulted in Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeating Jair Bolsonaro.
