Marcos Jr set to pivot back to US


NEWLY elected Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr (pic) will soon visit Singapore and Indonesia – and probably the United States before the end of the year – providing clues as to how he will navigate the increasingly dangerous space of the US-China rivalry in which his country, a US ally, is a potential front-line state.

The signs are a departure from the truculent style of former president Rodrigo Duterte, who was notorious for sniping at the US and seemingly veering closer to China.
