Young voters in the Philippines protested on Tuesday against Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who clinched a landslide win this week in the country’s presidential race. Leni Robredo, the current vice president, said her team was looking into reports of voter fraud. https://t.co/9mK5AeCF51
5) BBM-er read or studied somewhere that Marcos Sr.’s developments were actually good during his time and things only went downhill when he lost control because he got sick. Is that what independent sources actually say?
2) BBM-er thinks Duterte is very relatable… the way he speaks, his mannerisms. Leni seems vindictive and critical (she went abroad to “speak badly about the government”). But why? See image:
Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of an ousted dictator whose 20-year rule was defined by widespread human rights violations and massive corruption, tells the world to judge him "not by his ancestors, but by his actions."
Your thoughts?
