[OPINION] Recording the Duterte legacy

Marcos Jr. maintained during the election campaign a studious silence on his presidential plans. Candidate Rodrigo Duterte, in contrast, confidently proclaimed in his campaign a 15-Point Legacy Agenda he pledged to deliver within his term. The Marcos Jr. SONA effectively marks the first, formal exposition of his intended legacy.

New officials cannot be indifferent to the task of setting the record straight; the public will judge their performance at the end of their terms on the extent to which they succeeded or failed to move the needle forward. All of the new Cabinet officials are presumably already taking as the first order of business, reviewing their assigned portfolios and establishing their respective starting points against which they will eventually be measured.

Beyond the drug war, cases requiring a more sober and comprehensive review include those against Rappler, ABS-CBN, and Leila de Lima, the latter of which is still in detention after five years, although key witnesses have recanted their allegations. Like the issue of EJK and PNP human rights abuses, these cases have also tarnished the country’s image abroad at a time of increasing need for international support.

Umalis na ang kriminal nA yan pero nagiwan ng sandmakmak na bulok na tao sa Government institutions, from judiciary, military and prominent executive positions. Puro kawatan Lang din ang alam feeling magaling!

Plumb the depths of the damage by prrd? It was more like you guys who do the damage by destroying peoples reputations. Why don’t you report what your ceo did? You guys like doing people dirty and you think highly of yourselves. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
