A new administration has dawned as Ferdinand "BongBong" Marcos Jr. becomes elected for the highest position in the land. After the fastest canvassing of votes in the history of Philippine elections, Marcos gained more than 31 million votes. This is out of the 55.5 million Filipinos who practiced their sovereign right to democracy, which is around 82.6% of the 67.4 million registered voters.

Throughout the campaign season, many political and international relations experts have articulated their sentiments on what the position of the succeeding Philippine regime, through its foreign policies, would look like if a particular presidential aspirant is chosen.
