Following Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s landslide win in last year’s Philippines presidential election, the son of the former dictator has insisted he be judged on his own merit during his term.

Since then the country has seen a stronger stance on the situation in the South China Sea and warmer relations with the US. Inflation has soared and the price of food has made many staple items unaffordable as people worry about the supply of rice.

We want to hear from Filipinos on how you think Marcos has performed during his first year as president. Have you changed your mind about him since voting in last year’s election? What do you think of the situation in the South China Sea, and are there any issues you would like him to address?
