It's Marcos all the way for UAE Filipino voters, official records show

According to figures released by the Board of Canvassers at the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi, voting in the Philippines Presidential election was more polarised amongst the UAE-based electorate.

Winning candidate Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr., commonly referred to as Bongbong Marcos, received a total of 76,819 votes with Leni Robredo a distant second, polling 15,260 votes.

Former professional boxer and senator Manny Pacquiao trailed in bottom of the list, attracting only 471 votes amongst the Philippine population in the UAE.

In the Philippines itself, Marcos Jr. polled more than double the amount of votes compared to his nearest challenger, Vice President Leni Robredo.

Following the landslide result, the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos vowed to work for all people, telling the world to judge him by his presidency, not his family's past.
