A week after winning the Philippines presidential election, returning his notorious family to power, Ferdinand Marcos Jr is in Melbourne on a private trip. While he waits for the result to be confirmed by the Philippines Congress in June, the 64yo is in Oz seeing his youngest son Vincent, a law student at the University of Melbourne. The visit had been kept secret by his staff in Manila but was discovered by Filipino expats who have started to gather outside the apartment complex where he is staying to protest his win after his father’s oppressive 20-year rule. Marcos Jnr’s spokesman says he’s taking some time out before being sworn in. “President-elect Bongbong is on a private vacation with his family to rest, recharge and prepare for the journey ahead.” Australian officials confirmed that the Philippines had informed them of the visit.
