The Philippines began a manual recount of votes in a vice presidential election on Monday after the son and namesake of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos contested the outcome, while the incumbent assured supporters her win was not in doubt. Ferdinand Marcos Jr, a former senator popularly known as Bongbong, is furious about having lost to Leni Robredo by about 260,000 votes in a May 2016 election he says was marred by massive cheating. His father is believed to have stolen more than $10 billion from the country during his rule and he himself with several family members are named in the Panama Papers.
