Marcos wins new term amid plebiscite in Philippines
President Ferdinand E Marcos appears set for a six year term after a national vote approving constitutional amendments. Unofficial TV tallies show about 7.87 million in favor and 1.76 million against with nearly 25 million registered voters and 80 percent turnout. The measures would allow a six year presidency, a prime minister option, and re election and the appointment of a 15 member executive committee in case of incapacity. The vote also permits overseas Filipinos to own residential property.
