Some Filipino voters in Alaska who left the Philippines during the Marcos presidency and witnessed the movement that ousted him are supporting his heir and namesake, Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.
Leo Evangelista got two mailed ballots recently. This week he voted in Alaska’s special primary for the state’s sole seat in Congress. Last week, he voted for the president of the Philippines.
Evangelista is like so many Filipinos who left the country toward the end of the Marcos presidency when the family was deposed and fled in exile to Hawaii. It was a very tumultuous time in the Philippines. Rochelle Solanoy also has plans to return to the Philippines when she retires from her state job in Juneau in six and a half years.
