2025 - 5: Dynasties at War: The Marcos and Duterte family feud for control of the Philippines

A spectacular falling out between the Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his deputy Sara Duterte has unleashed a war between two of the country's most powerful political dynasties. The Marcos/Duterte feud has led to jaw dropping plot twists worthy of a political thriller with claims of drug addiction, corruption and the hiring of a hitman. The arrest of Sara's father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, for crimes against humanity, is also linked to the fallout with the President.    On Foreign Correspondent Natashya Gutierrez reports on how this feud has escalated so dramatically.   With the two clans at war she travels to the family fiefdoms in Ilocos Norte and Davao City to see how deeply rooted and damaging these political dynasties are to the country.
