Philippine protesters are taking to the streets to resist the bid of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son of the late dictator, to change the constitution, fearing it will pave the way for him to gain a monopoly on power. Marcos Jr.'s proposed changes include the removal of term limits for lawmakers and the establishment of a federal system of government, which critics say would weaken central authority and potentially lead to regional dynasties. Protesters are calling for the protection of democratic institutions and the prevention of a return to authoritarian rule.
