A record-high 68.43 million Filipinos nationwide are set to vote in the 2025 polls on Monday, May 12 — an election that is taking place midway into the term of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The Marcoses’ bitter feud with the Duterte family has figured prominently in the months leading up to election day, shaping races on the national stage and in local arenas.
More than 18,000 positions are up for grabs, including 12 Senate seats. Voting hours begin at 7 am, except for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and mall voters who are starting earlier at 5 am. Polls close at 7 pm for all.
