I suggested an initial answer in a column last March: First, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will “concentrate power in his office to authoritarian levels –without the need to impose military rule nationwide.” And second, he will “complete the rehabilitation of his father’s reputation, and…establish the Marcos legacy as mainstream history.”
The first RE is rehabilitation, in all senses, of the Marcos name and legacy: to reinstate, to repair, to restore to good repute, to return to a former capacity. In the full flush of election victory, a candid Senator Imee Marcos waxed expansive: A physical return to Malacañang Palace was not that important to the family anymore, she told CNN on May 25. “What’s most important to us is, of course, our name, the family name that has become so controversial, and so difficult at times to bear.
The paradox in the Marcos campaign message – a continuity candidate’s call to rise again – finds its explanation in this obsession with restoring the family’s good name.The second RE is repudiation of the EDSA revolution as mainstream history. Repairing the Marcos name and legacy is not and cannot be enough, because the worst thing that happened to the family was being forced out of power in a popular uprising.
That is why one of the first bills filed in Congress seeks to rename the country’s main international airport after the President’s father. If it proves too scandalous, even for some of the President’s 31 million voters, then the maneuver calls for finding a middle ground, by naming the airport after something neutral, like its location.
Walang kadala dala. Wala na nga kayong karapatan mag-operate dahil may ari nio foreigner eh. Kalat pa ng paninira. WALANG KADALA DALA RAPPLER RAPPLER! NAKO
Dapat lang talaga isara kayo!
Overriden with failure and false promises.
Seems the Marcos bot/sockpuppet army is as well-funded as Duterte's was.
How absolutely sure are you that the Marcoses are committed to what you think they are committed to ? Absolutely sure as belief in what is written in sacred books ?
