However, another analyst said the new leader will likely have less room for maneuver than his predecessor. "Marcos Jr. might try to revive Duterte's early outreach to Beijing, but he is unlikely to toss the U.S. alliance overboard as part of the effort," he said.Before the pandemic hit in 2019, the Philippines was one of the fastest growing economies in the world but its services and remittances-led economic model was hit hard by Covid-19.
