FERDINAND Marcos Jr visited the grave of his dictator father hours after his thumping victory in the Philippine presidential election, his team said, posting photos of the intimate moment on social media.

Marcos senior died in exile in 1989, but his remains were only interred in the national heroes cemetery in Manila in 2016 after President Rodrigo Duterte defied public outcry to order their burial with full military honours.
