Philippine Presidential, Congressional Elections

[Zarquon]

Noynoy Aquino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noynoy_Aquino) has won the Presidential election (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_presidential_election,_2010), while the congressional elections (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_House_of_Representatives_elections,_201 0) have resulted in a hung assembly.
Which puts the liberals, lead by Aquino, in a strange situation, as they have the presidency but don't have either the vice-presidency or the house

A nice summary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_general_election,_2010) of the elections.

Pardon my lack of knowledge regarding Philippine governing, but who controls the military?

The sustained popularity of Imelda Marcos baffles me.

But then, we elected G.W. Bush twice...

I could handle a shoe fetish better than a Christian god whispering into a leader's ear.

The President and thus, the Executive under the aegis of the Department of Defense including the Chief of Staff(similar to US system, though only one overall chief of armed forces staff).Also read this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines#Politics_and_government)
