Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was sworn in as president of the Philippines Thursday as his family returned to the rule from which they were expelled three decades ago.
Marcos Jr. was sworn in in front of hundreds of Filipino and foreign dignitaries, as well as journalists and a number of his supporters who gathered at the National Museum in Manila.
Ferdinand “Bong Pong” Marcos Jr., 64, won an overwhelming majority in last month’s presidential election, achieving the biggest victory since his father was ousted in a popular revolution in 1986.
He takes over the presidency, succeeding Rodrigo Duterte.
