Marcos wins Philippine presidential election in a landslide

MANILA -- Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the late Philippine dictator, won the country's presidency by a landslide, in a remarkable reversal of fortunes for a political dynasty that 36 years ago was ousted by the "People Power" revolution.

Marcos secured around 60% of the vote in Monday's election, giving him the strongest mandate for president since his father's rule.
