Marcos Jr. favored to win as millions of Filipinos vote in presidential polls

Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appears poised to be the next president of the Philippines as millions began voting on Monday, under the watchful eyes of thousands of security forces after violence claimed four lives over the weekend. 

If he wins, Marcos Jr. — son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr.— is expected to walk a tightrope between the U.S. and China.
