The research and advisory firm W&R said that Filipino residents will get more polarized after the elections.
Robin Michael Garcia, founder, and CEO of W&R, said that a potential political instability could also impact the business sector.

Earlier this week, supporters of presidential aspirants’ former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr, and Vice-president Leni Robredo had a face-off at a retail center in Makati prompting the intervention of security personnel.
Garcia said this was reflective of a society more focused on politics rather than solutions to the economic crisis.
He said that polarization will not help to achieve the post-pandemic recovery on the economic front.
