is being staged amid the most challenging times ever for any sitting chief executive. There is turmoil everywhere – inside decision-making board rooms, in currency markets, in stock markets, and on a number of strategic battlefronts.The young Marcos was barely nine when his father and namesake, Ferdinand Edralin Marcos, began his 20-year presidency on Dec. 30, 1965. He met more Popes, more royalty, and more world leaders than any Filipino.
The elder Marcos declared the country’s first genuine program, broadened the democratic base with the regular election of up to 500,000 village-level local officials, neutralized Muslim separatists and prevented the communists from taking over the country. Thus, the fulsome greatness that Marcos Sr aspired for was not to be fulfilled in his lifetime. Into that vacuum enters Marcos Jr.
And despite walking under the enormous shadow of his late father, Marcos Sr., who had a 20-year reign, from Dec. 30, 1965 to Feb. 25, 1986, the longest of any president.
