Key allies of detained former President Rodrigo Duterte and two liberal opposition candidates were among top winners in the Philippine Senate elections held on May 12th.
The midterm elections showed surprise strong backing for Duterte and boosted his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, ahead of her impeachment trial in the Senate in July.
Candidates loyal to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration, did not do as well as expected.
Five of the 12 Senate race winners were endorsed by Sara Duterte, including the president's sister, Imee Marcos.
Five others were aligned with Marcos, while two surprise winners were from the opposition.
Marcos teamed with Sara Duterte to win the 2022 general elections, but their partnership soured over political differences that led to her impeachment in February.
