In the battle for hearts, minds and votes, however, Bongbong’s people have fought back with a tidal wave of claims of Marcos’s “achievements,” said Tumale. “Facebook and other social media sites have been flooded by posts about how good the country was when Ferdinand Marcos was the president. Support from the younger generation has started growing as well.”
The train of events that led to Marcos’ final downfall came after Benigno Aquino Jr. was gunned down in 1983 as he arrived in Manila after years of self-exile in the U.S. In the aftermath of the Marcos’ mad flight to Hawaii, Cory Aquino rose to the presidency thanks to the emotional surge for retribution against Marcos.
The Philippine constitution, imposed during the presidency of Cory Aquino as an antidote to Marcos-style dictatorship, keeps the 76-year-old Duterte from seeking a second six-year term, but he’s running for the Senate and going after his critics. A prime target: journalistBongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte will be the next leaders of the country.
A Bongbong-Sara government, Conde predicts, would be “a continuation of Duterte’s policies such as the drug war.” Also, he noted, the elder Duterte and his allies are “deathly afraid of the ICC, regardless of how much they try to dismiss its investigation" and would be “assured of protection” they’re “angling for.”
confirms that impression. “Hero of the gutter press,” said one writer on Facebook. “Icon of lies,” said another. “Hero of fake news.” In all caps, a third writer wrote, “HERO OF ALL LIER'S ! THE QUEEN OF FAKE NEWS IN THE PHILIPPINES!!”
Although I do have a lot of respect for all of the Ulema (Scholars) whom Allah has indeed given knowledge and insight through which they can differentiate between truth and lie but it has a little drawback
This is surreal.
