Rodrigo Duterte was elected in 2016 after a tumultuous campaign where he started as the dark-horse candidate and led by a margin of over 5 million votes. Immediately prior, he was mayor of Davao City and extremely controversial for his [[WellIntentionedExtremist tough stance against crime,]] particularly the drug trade, with his encouragement of {{Cowboy Cop}}s and death squads and allegedly going VigilanteMan himself at times. Hence, incidents of police and extralegal killings have skyrocketed ever since he assumed office. This has earned him the [[RedBaron nickname]] "ComicBook/ThePunisher" by Time Magazine. He's also notorious for [[SirSwearsALot his potty mouth]] and his jokes which CrossesTheLineTwice leading to comparisons with Creator/DonaldTrump. He is also often slammed for his foreign policy, which so far consists of less reliance with long-time ally US and tilting towards China (which Filipinos perceive as an enemy), a complete 180-degree shift from the previous president's actions. All of these make him a [[BaseBreakingCharacter really polarizing figure]], with his policies and strong pronouncements driving the country into a huge schism within the Filipino society. After finishing his term, he still remains popular among the people despite the issues and controversies that he and his government had faced due to his supporters' rampant use of social media to bolster his image and to attack all of his opponents. His so-called legacy was his infrastructure projects which his supporters had been projecting amidst the inflation, rising commodities, corruption, and a bloody string of human rights violations brought by his intense red-tagging of critics and the failed war on drugs.
The current president is Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son of the late dictator, who came back from exile. Upon his return, he and his loyal supporters worked to slowly rehabilitate his family's image to the masses. Taking advantage of the public's dissatisfaction with Noynoy Aquino's term, Marcos Jr. used his family name to present himself as a better alternative, reinforcing the belief that his father's time was a "golden age". Just like Duterte, his supporters used social media to cultivate his own CultOfPersonality and at the same time, create black propaganda against the opposition. Eventually, all of these earned him 31 million votes in 2022, putting the Marcoses back in power and rendering all the sacrifices and struggles of those who fought against the Martial Law and those who had participated in the EDSA Revolution AllForNothing. However, unlike Duterte who inherited a growing economy from the Noynoy administration, Marcos Jr. has to contend with the post UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic era along with other issues that Duterte left for him.

The Philippines in modern times is predominantly Roman Catholic. Filipino Catholics historically have had a love-hate relationship with the Church -- while in the 19th century many were dissatisfied with religious orders who also served in government, and some were into outright anticlerical, today the Church holds a powerful influence, so don't expect Western-style liberalism to take hold rapidly: both divorce among non-Muslims and abortion is taboo.

More recently with the Reproductive Health law, the love-hate dynamic has once again resurfaced. Nevertheless, papal visits usually garner near-universal positive reception -- Pope (now Saint) John Paul II's 1995 visit to Manila for World Youth Day attracted 5 million people during its closing mass, setting a record for the largest papal gathering in a single day in history... which the Filipinos themselves broke exactly twenty years later for Pope Francis' closing mass at the climax of his five-day state visit, clocking in at 6.7 million.

As a notable aside due to the predominantly Catholic population of the country, the Philippines is one of the countries that celebrates the Christmas season the longest. Decorations and planning for the actual holiday itself take place as early as September 1 (although it is not uncommon to hear Christmas music being played the month prior), and celebrations themselves can last until well into January. In December itself, the season is capped off by a series of masses called ''Simbang Gabi'', which occur from December 16 until 24. The season is celebrated similarly to how Western countries follow it, having a very strong focus on family gatherings.
