Thousands of supporters attended the final campaign rally in Manila on Saturday of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who is running for president in Monday's elections. Marcos, along with his vice-presidential running mate, Davao city Mayor Sara Duterte, daughter of outgoing president Rodrigo Duterte, are running a carefully choreographed campaign.

Marcos Jr., a former senator, is leading with a wide margin in surveys for the 10-way presidential race. Trailing behind is Leni Robredo, the incumbent Vice President. The latest survey showed Marcos Jr. topped the poll with 56% support, and Robredo ranked second with 23%. About 67 million Filipinos have registered to cast their ballot in Monday's elections.
