Rodrigo Duterte is in The Hague. He was a candidate in the election. People voted. The election is for many jobs. People say it is important for him and his family.

In the Philippines, people can try to be a leader even if they have a problem with the law. They can do this if a judge did not say they are bad.

Duterte wants to be mayor. He was mayor. He is in prison. Can he be mayor from prison?

Many people in the Philippines can vote today.

Voting stopped at 7. People in line could vote. We will know who won soon. The winner will be known in 7 days.

Sara Duterte is important. She is the daughter of Duterte. She is the Vice President. Some people do not like her. They say she did bad things. She says no.

Sara wants to be president. If senators say no, she cannot be vice president. She needs 9 senators to say yes.
