Rodrigo Duterte is in The Hague. He wants to be a candidate. He wants a seat. People vote on Monday.

Duterte is in jail. He wants to be mayor again.

In the Philippines, people in prison can try to be leaders. But if a judge says they are bad and they cannot ask for help, they cannot be leaders.

Duterte wants to be mayor. He was mayor. He was president. Can he be mayor from prison? We don't know.

Many people in the Philippines will vote today.

Voting stopped at 7 p.m. People in line could still vote. We will know the winner soon. The final winner will be known in one week.

Sara Duterte is important. She has problems.

Sara wants to be president. If senators say no, she cannot be vice president. Nine senators must say yes.

The elections in 2025 are important.

Sara Duterte's family is in the election.

Duterte went to court because Marcos and Sara were not friends.

Sara voted in Davao. Marcos voted in Batac City.

She said "Okay" if my friends lose.

She said, "My father is not here. The vice mayor is the mayor now."

Marcos said vote.

Her father's friend wants to be a senator.

Some bad things happened.

Some people fought. Some people's names were not on the list. People waited in a long line. It was hot.

Reymark said Marcos and Duterte did not do good.

Diana Joy Acosta voted. She has a baby. She wants good leaders for her baby.
