Here's an amateur conspiracy theory...
1. Why did Duterte declared that he can solve crime and drug problems within 3-6 months during his campaign and promise to resign if he fails?
Because they honestly believed that Bongbong Marcos will become VP and by resigning he can deliver Malacanang and the entire country back to the Marcoses on a silver platter.
Now that Bongbong is not VP, he is trying everything he can to grab it from Leni and so while he schemes his way to the vice-presidency, Duterte is asking for extensions on his deadlines. Extend the deadline until Bongbong is ready.

2. So why did the Marcoses claw its way back to Malacanang? Is it so that they can finally give their father a hero's burial? Nah, I don't think so. The burial of Marcos, the dictator, is just a means to an end. Looking at this family's actions since Imelda and Ferdinand set foot in Malacanang, during and after Marshall Law, you can surmise that these people only displays emotions when they are aiming for a better prize.
I have personally listen to Bongbong Marcos once in a student forum, when I was still in high school. That was only a few years after the family was driven away from Malacanang. Although I forget the topic of the talk, I still remember my impressions of him then; that he was one brilliant and charismatic man who I thought is either very brave or completely without shame for standing proud and tall in front of us after what happened in EDSA.
In retrospect, I can see how that brilliant young man of long ago, can be capable of (aided by the more experienced and hardened family members) orchestrating the biggest political coup our history will ever have--that is if they will succeed on this one.
To what purpose? Certainly not because of wounded sentiments. It's not even out of mere wounded pride. So what is it then you ask?
We'll it's all about the money, money, money.
It's not pride but greed!

What money you say? The billions of ill-gotten wealth that they still can recoup once they have that power. Greed is a powerful motivation--especially for something that you had once enjoyed.
