Philippine election: why are overseas Filipinos such big fans of Bongbong Marcos Jnr?
- The presidential frontrunner, hailing from a family reviled by many citizens, has a large fan following among Filipinos working abroad, including in Japan, Hong Kong
- Many workers who run online campaigns in support of the senator and his running mate Sara Duterte-Carpio say charisma is one of the reasons why they back him
