Stay up to date on the Philippine election of 2022 with live updates from the New York Times. 

The presidential election puts the son of Ferdinand Marcos (Bongbong Marcos) up against Leni Robredo - the two main candidates.

UPDATE: on May 13th, 2022 Leni Robredo admitted to defeat in the 2022 Philippine presidential election. In her speech, given at Ateneo de Manila University, she did not mention her opponent by name. 

The election results were called into question after allegations of buying votes and ballot machine malfunctions. Disinformation and corruption have long been a part of the Philippine political landscape & Robredo mentioned the “massive machinery to spread hate and lies,” in her speech.
