The show of force on Sunday by the influential religious bloc, popularly referred to by its acronym INC, is a complete reversal from its support of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, whom it endorsed in the 2022 presidential race.

Unlock the Editor’s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Japan has dispatched a senior envoy to try to ease tensions with China as stock markets in both countries fell after Beijing issued a travel warning to its citizens over the weekend. The share sell-off, which ripped through stocks in Japan’s retail and transport sectors, was fuelled by a warning from a leading economic think-tank that a sharp drop in Chinese visitors could reduce overall tourism spending by an annual ¥2.2tn ($14bn).

 In justifying American military strikes on boats suspected of smuggling drugs, President Donald Trump has asserted that the longtime U.S. strategy of interdicting such vessels at sea has been a major failure. “We’ve been doing that for 30 years,” he said last month, “and it’s been totally ineffective.” Trump’s comments came around the same time that the U.S. Coast Guard announced it had set a record for cocaine seizures — a haul of 225 metric tons of the drug over the previous year.
