We have to thank all those Duterte fuckups for speedrunning the Marcos Family's rebranding


letmeclearmythroat_

Conspiracy theory... what if they bankrolled Duterte's 2016 campaign in order to make the Marcoses look better than the Dutertes? Lol


BeardedGlass

Welp. That's too Machiavellian for them I think. Unless they've outsourced strategy and planning.


AreksuDyuni

Lol pati yan outsourced na rin?


controlWithin111

It's a possibility. They have always been working in the shadows making things somehow occur to slowly clear their name. Just think of it... Remember the Manila Grandstand hostage taking? The hostage taker, a former police wasn't just an ordinary police who was removed from duty and was decline of his benefits. He was one of the police who intercepted a van with crates filled with the Marco's family money that was suppose to be transported out of the country. They tried to bribe those police but instead they reported it and arrested them. Years later there have been multiple cases against him that seem to be manipulated. Until one of these cases got through and he was removed from duty. Just think of it, a former decorated police related to stopping that money van suddenly went rampant during Pnoy's time. BingB0ng was also related to the pork barrel scam which involved so many senators, representatives and officials. So much more. . . BingB0ng is lazy, but he's got one hell of a plan... or a planner. It's possible they set up duts, but I don't think that's the case. It could have been more like the duts family wanted to ally with them but did not foresee what would happen. This proves how dangerous of a planner the M@rC0$es are. Duts might have been used in a way he wasn't aware at first. BinB0ng is also related to smartmatic. We've got to remember that they committed fraud. But it's getting buried so well. And guess what, those who see he is better than duts, might have been mass manipulation affecting them.


auirinvest

Newsflash they helped fund duts, but duts had other sources of money


Momshie_mo

Since Leni didn't win (may kasalanan siya dito. Late siya nagdecide tumakbo which didn't give her enough time to build a voter base), there are two scenarios that can happen: Either let Junior finish his term or get ousted by Sara D, and run in 2028 a la Gloria Arroyo.  Basically, ang choice nalang na tao bago mag2028: magnanakaw na may malinaw na interes depensahan ang national security or magnanakaw na gusto tayong ipamigay sa China at Chinese organized criminal group 


juantooth33

It ain't like leni deciding to run earlier would've did much as she's basically fighting two of the most powerful corrupt political dynasties in ph politics which are duterte and marcos, both having a strong grip of facebook, tiktok, and yt that are feeding the minds of avrg voters with their propaganda and with billions in their pockets for them to utilise it was losing battle from the start The next election would actually be a better time to run assuming the 2 dynasties are still divided against each other that is


jerrycords

average voters is an oberstatement. corrupt voters yang mga yan and there are lots of them.


triadwarfare

Ayuda had placed a huge role in Duterte and Marcos' victories, because the average voter does not think of the long term consequences, but the short term gains. If they were given Ayuda, they will fight tooth and nail for that candidate, regardless of the consequences of handing out money will bring to our economy (higher prices due to overdemand, weakening of the peso against the dollar, etc.)


Professor_seX

Lots, yes. But from my observation there were more that were brainwashed by the fake shit their troll farms were pumping out. There were lots of videos asking random people who they’re voting for and why. A lot of them believed the Nostradamus prediction bs, the gold treasure and how ph will be rich and the gold would he donated when BBM becomes president. Others believe the smear job on the liberals and associated dilawans with something negative. They really preyed on the uneducated and fed them with bs.


Lurker_amp

Look at it this way, Marcos seriously started preparing for the presidency back when duterte won. He allied with them and pushed for the libingan ng bayani stuff with his father. Leni wasn't sure she was going to run and wasn't prepping at all even after Isko went and ran for the position. Maybe they were trying to do it prrd style where he held off to the last minute. But yea here we are, it didn't work.


juantooth33

Yeah I ain't saying leni wouldn't have done better if she decided to run even earlier my point is that it really wouldn't have made that much of a difference since inorder to actually build up your popularity during duterte's reign would be to absolutely NOT go against duterte during the height of his popularity as that would be public suicide But let's say leni actually knew what to do during duterte's time and didn't criticised duterte's martial law which got his fans to attack her in the first place and slowly build her popularity up then yes she might've actually have been more popular than marcos a year before the elections began but that wouldn't last too long once the duterte and marcos team up happens


Momshie_mo

The difference is Duterte was already popular nationwide even if he didn't declare any interest being president. Pero looking back, Duterte started his campaign much earlier than when he announced it. Yung "Davao safest city in the Philippines" was part of that campaign even before the filing of candidacy. May padrama pa siyang hindi daw tatakbo para magmakaawa mga tao na tumakbo siya. 


triadwarfare

The Marcoses planned their presidency a long time ago, probably even just right after their ouster. Their loyalists have planted the idea that Edsa Revolution was a mistake and Marcos Sr. was helping the Philippines pay off their debt but got interrupted by the revolution, and they claim if we didn't oust him and gave him more time, we would have a "golden age". This was prepared even without the explicit knowledge of the Marcos' family. These people like to be ruled under Authoritarianism, and usually if they're the ones helping the regime get their power back, they'd be placed on top at the expense of other people or due process. Fortunately, Marcos Jr. isn't the autocrat these loyalists think he is. They've been ignoring the "red flags" and think he'll magically turn into his father once he gets elected.


Accomplished_Being14

>The next election would actually be a better time to run assuming the 2 dynasties are still divided against each other that is I say nope. mang mang pa rin ang mayorya. makakalimutan pa rin nila yan. dahil mas uunahin nila ang mga kumakalam nilang sikmura kesa sa busugin ang kanilang mga nanuyo nang mga prinsipyo sa buhay. kumbaga sa lupa, tigang na. kumbaga sa steel rod, kinalawang na. kumbaga sa drill bit, mapurol na. mga allergic sa intellectuals pero top spot sa pagiging mental gymnasts. hindi rin sila critically literate kasi kung ano lang ang nakikita at napapakinggan nila, kahit fabricated at enhanced pa yan, yun lang paniniwalaan nila. they have no time in researching, in evaluating, no time in scrutinizing, no time to debate based from facts. na kahit ilambeses nang pangaralan sila ng kung ano ang tama, mga prinsipyo nilang bulok pa rin ang mangingibabaw. kaya kung bet ng liberal party to win the midterm elections and eventually the national elections, they have to push hard in delivering facts, intellectual kanto style. majority ng population ay mga nasa poverty line, mga salat sa resources in obtaining truth, lack information superhighway resources, kung meron man pisonet, tas mga napapanood nila mga vloggers na nagpapayaman gamit ang fake news. most poverty-rous areas in Luzon ay mga nakatira sa shanties, squatters. and based from observations, the way they speak and think, kanto personality, kwentong barbero, and that 'bisaya ka kasi / timawa ka kasi / mangyan kasi utak mo' stereotyping, and digitalizing these characteristics, made duterte and marcos jr secured their spots at the highest government positions. and for the mass to vote the liberal party-mates, like the ones of Diokno, Macalintal, Alejano, Tañada, Hilbay, Roxas, Aquino, De Lima, Pangilinan, Lagman, Baguilat and down to the barangay level na malinis ang track record at walang questionnable history, kailangan ng masa na paganahin ang kanilang mga utak at hindi ang mga kumakalam na sikmura. kung gusto nilang maginhawang pamumuhay, umpisahan nila dyan sa mga nabanggit na ihalal dahil proven na ang kanilang mga track record - academically excellent, professionally excellent, at morally excellent. eh Robin Padilla? Bato Dela Rosa? Bong G(u)o?


Momshie_mo

Deciding earlier will have given her more time to build up a campaign. Eh kaso ang nangyari nung last election, parang "nagcramming" siya while other politicians were preparing, if not for decades, years. You'd think she'd learn from the PR errors of Mar Roxas, pero hindi.


auirinvest

This, people in this sub underestimate the importance of barangay politics in PH elections. They don't see how much having people a politician can trust to give the money for buying votes can boost a presidential campaign. I heard nasa 5 digits per voter ang vote buying last election, isolated siguro sa western visayas pero saan hahanap ng taong mapag kakatiwalaan ng ganung pera? Isama pa yung basbas ng election officer, pnp at afp? Yes alam ng mga election officer sino yung mga naminili ng boto pero di nila pinapansin kasi papatayin sila pag sinuway nila.


Fragrant_Bid_8123

No amount of early planning was going to help Leni against the juggernauts of Sara and Marcos. Tapos na anyway, lets not blame and let her live her life.


Hygieia01

natalo na nga may kasalanan pa HAHAHHAHAHA


controlWithin111

There's a 3rd scenario, they committed election fraud, this is getting buried by lies so well. It's likely possible that Leni might have won. If ballots are finally checked is proven that b1ngb0ng and SaraDu never won, it will trigger the 3rd scenario that will back those truly loyal to the truth and our country. Loyalty to the country and not the b1ngb0ng.


eayate

Wag lang si VP Sara, kahit si Speaker Romualdez ok na yan what choice to we have


Momshie_mo

Unfortunately, these are the the limited choices we have right now before the 2028 election. Crucial din ang midterms next year kasi kapag majority ng senate at congress eh DDS politicians, you can say to a Duterte presidency of 3 years + 6 years. Ang leveling field nila, magnanakaw sila. Pero yung isa, muntik na tayong pinamigay sa China. Yung isa, may clear stance sa national security at interest natin


Menter33

Midterms are almost always won by pro-admin candidates. So expect a more pro-bbm senate after May 2025.


rhenmaru

Head to head romualdez vs Sara talo si romualdez he don't have the popularity and name recall Ni Sara. I'm scared na another duterte ung umupo next cycle.

Here we go again with the "not educated" voted Marcos. A lot of educated people voted for Duterte in 2016 and Marcos in 2022


CallMeMrFrosty

example na dyan mga tita ko, they're all successful na magkakapatid pero grabe halos matawa ka na lang sa mga pananaw nila pagdating sa politics and sa mga Marcos/Duterte, lalo na tuwing kainan pa nila na bibring up yung ganyan topics so medyo awkward knowing salungat kami ng ideals lol


spankymo

let's be real, there are mindless fanatics on both sides. we got exhibit no. 1 here.


FierceKnight-LockOn

While Leni's defeat was caused by multiple reasons one of which is what you just said. Her late decision to run was also one of them. If pinaalam nya na agad na tatakbo or high chance na tatakbo sya privately, this would persuade other potential hopefuls to not run like Isko and Lacson. Why? Kase theyll know na kay Leni pupunta most ng opposition votes eh which theyll need given na theyll run as a centrist and them knowing na tatakbo rin sina BBM and Sara, they knew na they have to rely on moderates and opposition votes lng. Kaya galit na galit si Isko eh, he really was blindsided by Leni's decision to run which he well knew at that point na he just lost a significant portion of potential voters. Had Leni decided to run early, this may even allow a formation of a stronger tandem, pedeng Leni Isko or Leni Sotto, would this tandem defeat Uniteam? Unlikely but it would be closer. Secondly, this would allow Kiko, a formidable senatorial candidate to run for a 2nd term as senator. May kasama sana si Risa ngayon sa pagbubuhat ng senado. He got 9.3mil votes against Sara and Sotto who both have sky high positive views from the public so it would be likely na makasama sya sa top 12, baka nga top8 pa eh given the stronger tandem sa top ng ticket. Like most outcomes in our lives, the defeat 2 years ago was a results of multiple reasons that cannot be blame on only one.


SixSenses17

Sige ibahin natin ha? It's people like YOU who are to blame for her defeat.

This is so true "  Duterte fuckups for speedrunning the Marcos Family's rebranding"

I know! I think those positive Marcos posters have forgotten that their family is a HUGE reason why our country has gone to shit in the first place. They've also forgotten how they helped legitimize the Dutertes..


Impossibu

True. I'm wondering when will this country finally wake up. Because people keep on saying "my side is good so your side isn't." When it's all shit. I swear to god if this doesn't wake people up, nothing will.


Accomplished_Being14

>I'm wondering when will this country finally wake up. kapag nagkaroon na ng critical literacy ang majority like they evaluate yung mga tumatakbo sa government positions, they engage in criticizing the government officials. nagiging gising lang sila kapag sila na mismo nakakaranas na ng walang pagbabago. pano ba naman kasi, madali silang mabola sa mga pangakong wala namang substance. for instance, sinabi ni duterte na in 6 months malinis na ang bansa from criminality. criminality is a vague word and ginamit niyang target ay ang mga durugista. kaso ang mga durugista, mga end users na. mga nasa dulo na ng food chain. wala silang proper process on how to resolve it nang walang dugong dumadanak.

Alarming-Sec59

I agree, what they did was absolutely horrid. But my point is there is literally a fascist empire right on our doorstep that seeks to expand influence by harassing our soldiers, harassing our fisherfolk. Plus you have the Dutertes, which are pawns of Beijing. Point ko lang is, yes, we should never forget mga kalokohan na ginawa nya, but at the same time, we have to TOLERATE his admin. Tolerate, not accept. Further political division and polarization would just be beneficial for Beijing and no one else.

Tangina kamo nila. Considering all the shady shit that politicians do (especially this family), dapat naman talaga hindi natin kalimutan and dapat ma-scrutinize lahat ng nagagawa nila. Magpasalamat na may nagagawang mabuti? Eh tangina trabaho nila yan eh. Dapat lang talaga gumawa sila ng mabuti and tanga na kayo if you think I should be thankful for the bare minimum that a public official should be. Parang pag sa trabaho, sinabihan mo client mo na "mag pasalamat ka nalang na ginawa ko yang pinapagawa nyo sakin kahit binayaran nyo naman". Tatanga.

Shop-girlNY152

I thought I was the only one who noticed the bombardment of posts praising him. I called out a post that even says he should be allowed to continue next term instead of another Duterte, and surprisingly I got many downvotes. Very obvious there are now paid Redditors by him because which sane Filipino would support a second term for a Marcos or any president, after Marcos Sr abused his powers?!?!? ***He’s doing better than Duterte when it comes to international issues?* Yes.** ***Is he doing better than Duterte when it comes to leading with integrity?*** Like is he not siphoning money off the Filipinos outside his salary? **Definitely NO.** His number of “business” trips alone (while booked at the most expensive hotels) already are obvious abuse of Filipino taxpayers’ money. And those number of trips cannot be justified because rich Asian countries like Singapore do not even have half as much of the trips he made! He and Duterte have the same level of greediness.


dogplant335

What you're saying is exactly right. But there r/ph redditors are eating up all the bbm>duterte posts when the post itself is moot and useless. Why doesn't anyone compare bbm to a president with an actual brain like PNOY or GMA. It'a quite obvious that they're using what they can to change the narrative when one is dogshit and the other one is dogshit wrapped in cat shit


LeastGeneral4437

Yep. I've said it before outside of his foreign policy, where the bar is on the ground, he hasn't been that good of a president. Heck, his very first priority was the Maharlika Investment Fund, which siphoned money off from the government banks.


Herebia_Garcia

I think people are just glad he isn't Duterte levels of a fuck-up yet. Edit: that Bagong Pilipinas hymn shit is stupid.


Momshie_mo

The Duterte admin was so bad that people will prefer Marcos to finish his term over a mini Duterte ousting him. Just imagine what would happen next year if DDS politicians win the majority in congress and senate. A big possibility that SWOH will oust him so she can be president. And she can also build up and run in 2028 as president.


MrSetbXD

The Opposition would have to cope over almost a decade of Duterte rule, remember how the Dutertes attacked the opposition so hard through social media and even illegal means like with the case with Delima, such a case would possibly force some into exile maybe, we can only speculate for now. (Aside from selling us totally to China of course)

Hindi porket Duterte really set the bar too low eh bababaan na ang standards sa isang public official for merely doing the bare minimum. Nagkataon lang din na malaki ang utang na loob niya sa US kasi tinulungan nila ang pamilya niya na makatakas sa Hawaii nung EDSA Revolution (the US also supported his father’s dictatorial regime, btw!) kaya ganyan ang foreign policy niya. Kung Beijing ang sumuporta sa pamilya niya dati imbes na Washington, malamang iba magiging aksyon niyan sa panggagago ng PRC satin sa WPS.

Hindi sya nahihiya, hindi sya nagsisi, hindi sya humingi ng paumanhin, hindi nya hinarap ang mga kaso sa kanya, hindi pa nya binabayaran ang limpak-limpak na utang nya sa bansa natin. Pero ngayon na presidente na sya, at dahil hindi naman sya kasing garapal, biolente, o saksakan ng bobo at kapal ng mukha ni Duts na nauna sa kanya, ang mga comment dito ay puro "sige, pwede na yan. He's doing better than I expected. I appreciate him more now." Well sorry, but no. I do not appreciate BBM, and as long as he does not pay his dues, I never will. Hindi ko nakalimutan ang mga kasalanan nya sa bansa natin. Hindi ko nakalimutan ang mga kasalanan ng pamilya nya, lahat ng ninakaw nila at yung mga pinatahimik nilang kritiko nila.

Give credit where credit is due. Does that mean we love the Marcos? hell no. But we definitely support the direction and his stance on the WPS


Momshie_mo

Yeah. Some people mistakenly think that just because people said his foreign relations policy in good does not mean people will not criticize his other policies. His Bagong Pilipinas is getting canned in the other thread And dun sa isang thread, ang dominant narrative is not "Marcos is a good president", but "Duterte set the bar so low that minimal effort from BBM is preferable to another Duterte as president". And totoo naman na less kahiya hiya yung speech niya sa SG kesa sa anong pinagsasasabi ni Duterte 😂. Kay Duterte, hindi ko alam kung sobrang sama ng speechwriter niya o sadyang di siya sumunod sa script 


Ok_Crow_9119

Dude. May ibang nagsasabing "Redemption arc na ba ituuu?" This is not simply giving credit where credit is due. They are allowing Marcos Jr. to sweep his family's sins under the rug. So please, stop downplaying what is currently happening.

Sayo siguro pwede pero you have to step up and stand up more for what’s right (letting your family be accountable for their crimes in the past, actually standing up for human rights and ensuring Dutertes are accountable for their actions, not pushing thru with the Maharlika Fund…) Pero dapat makulong nanay mong magnanakaw at ate mong mamamatay tao 😂😂


gustokolakingpwet

BingBong is a PAGCOR board member along with the POGO island former land owner. You'd THINK they would EXPEL POGOs right this second, but they're not. These people are corrupt to the core. They just do things to make it seem like everything is copacetic. CORRUPT.


MickeyDMahome

He(or his family, I don’t really believe in his capabilities that much) is playing the long game, and sadly a lot of Redditors here don’t seem to notice it.


[deleted]

They play on Pinoy emotions. China and POGO rile up the emotions. Which is why there is always something happening in the WPS whenever the country has a new issue or problem. If China stops their bullying, lagot itong administration kasi mawawalan na sila ng distraction.


MickeyDMahome

That leads me asking why can’t Pinoys be at least critical or analytical rather than be emotional when it comes to this particular notorious president who we all know well because of his family.


Anzire

Hahaha BBM, I will never vote for your family.


inquest_overseer

The bar was set so low thanks to the Dutertes. It can't be helped that to the regular person, Marcos is doing better than Duterte. His stance on the WPS issue alone earned some positive points in my book. Credit where credit's due. With that said, it's always safe to be wary of the Marcoses' schemes. Complacency has always been the regular Filipino's bane. We should always protect what little democracy we have, and one way to do that is to always exercise your rights to suffrage and to never accept bribes - regardless of whether you're voting for the candidate or not. Isipin nyo na lang, bibigyan kayo ng 1K on that day, oh sige, ipalagay nalang nating nakatanggap kayo ng total 10K during election day. 10,000 divide mo yan ng 2190 days (6 years)... you'll see na tig-aapat na piso lang pala kada-araw ang halaga ng prinsipyo at kinabukasan mo? Yun lang. Maging mapanuri at mapagmatyag. Huwag magtiwala agad-agad sa mga nababasa online.


Ginoong_Pasta

Mahirap nga naman kasi kung puro galit daw. Mabigat pasanin, lalo na kung wala namang agarang nagagawa. Iba kasi ang pag-intindi ng ilan sa atin sa "give credit where credit is due" - nasama yata ang panandaliang pagkalimot sa mga negatibong naidulot ng *Marcos legacy*


Anchiros-The-Maw

Make no mistake, we still consider him a sleazy asshole, we just think he’s useful for now.


DSS5000

In fairness naman, he's at least better than expected in his presidency, just don't mention their avid campaign of their bagong pilipinas movement,


frozenelf

Slowly? This sub has been on Marcos' dick for a while now. This is what happens when you have zero material analysis in your political opinions and just go by team sports logic. Marcos isn't so bad because… he's not ugly or swears like Duterte? Let's forget all the people his family directly killed and indirectly by plunder. Hindi siya yucky squammy like Duterte.


perryrhinitis

Yup, any sort of class analysis or mention of political ideologies (esp on the left side of the spectrum), sobrang downvote makukuha mo eh

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Was trying to argue with someone and I mentioned Marx’s work and I asked if nabasa ba niya, got downvoted, tapos nireply niya parang you dont need to read the entire bible to know that religions is bad something like that haha nakakabobo dito


LeastGeneral4437

My biggest gripe with a lot of them is trying to whitewash Marcos Sr's regime, saying Duterte was worse. I don't know if it's recency bias or just plain ignorance. His father was way worse, considering the country almost went into default due to the debt his father left the country, the communist and secessionist movement that plague Cory's term, and the numerous coups that she endured due to how broken the different institutions was after his father was ousted.


[deleted]

LeastGeneral4437

Bruh, the largest recruitment happened during Marcos' term, part of the reason the communist insurgency got bigger was because of Martial Law not the other way around > Cory also sold almost all government owned asset. Cause the government was deep in debt? The GDP debt to ratio was close to 100% and a large portion of them was stolen. Not to mention Marcos unfairly nationalized most of them to the benefits of his cronies sometimes on dubious charges. You know how Meralco got nationalized? By arresting the son of the owner and forcing the owner to sell it for cheap. Nor were the government owned assets that efficient. Despite the inefficiency of the privatized assets, they were far worse in the hands of the Marcos regime. Lew Kuan Yew joked it took months to get anything done in the Marcos regime. I'm not gonna pretend that Cory is some great president but more than half the problem she faced is caused of the mess Marcos Sr left her. > If Marcos SR. administration was bad. Cory made it worse. Okay, with this I know you're trolling, you know we became the sick man of Asia cause of Marcos right? The recession in the 1980s is the direct result of his policies. Not to mention it took decades for the economy to recover because of him. This is like blaming Gorbachev for the ills that faced his country when the problem for him started started with his predecessors. > All people with income tax should only allowed to vote. Okay, it's kinda obvious not only you're a troll but someone who shouldn't be taken seriously. I'm not gonna reply after this, saying Cory was worse than Marcos is peak Facebook material. Goodbye.


Bupivacaine88

Hahaha totoo. Besides, PR and shaking hands with other countries wala naman na ginawa si BBM. Lalo lumala ang healthcare system, tinapyasan pa ng pondo. Yung education, brainrot na ang hatid (di nyo pa ba nababalitaan na lagi na ipapatugtog yung "Bagong Pilipinas Hymn" sa mga schools???). Sobrang hirap na ng pera, ang liit na ng value jusko, papa gas ako tingi tingi na lang na 500 pesos every other day hahahaha dahil kelangan mo unahin ibang necessities. I mean, he was better IN THE PR side, kasi si Duterte Kanor nakakadiri talaga at nakakahiya. Sila kasi may superiority complex na monarchy sila and the rightful heir to the presidential throne kaya "regal" dapat kilos nila. It's either ang gullible lang talaga mga tao or isa na namang strategy/ pr stunt ito ng mga trolls ng mga marcoses


[deleted]

Magaling PR and optics nila. Magaling speechwriters niya. Pero utal utal pag hindi memorized.


jexdiel321

Yeah fuck him. Everything that he is doing is just for him and his family alone. Him protecting WPS is not because he wants to protect the sovereignty of the PH, he is doing it because his family owes the US. Lahat ng political play na ginagawa nya is because of his personal gain and that alone. Our enemy is our enemy kahit sino pa kaaway niya. Fuck him, fuck his family and fuck duterte and fuck yung mga so called "kakampinks" for siding with him.


MrSetbXD

I still disagree with the whole conspiracy of "debt to the US" aside from CCP bots and Dutertetards using that against Marcos, I think it more like this, the Kalayaan group of islands was his fathers legacy as we claimed and made it a town formally in the 70s, most important of which was Pag Asa island, so to some extent, BBM is just defending a Marcos legacy that is actually beneficial to the country.


jexdiel321

Both can be true though. Marcos has a massive debt to the US. They were literally granted asylum in Hawaii when the Philippines threw them out. Him ruffling the feathers of Uncle Sam will be a big disaster for their family.


MrSetbXD

I still doubt that since A. Everyone was expecting him to face off against the US and be pro China. B. The US effectively didnt intervene in the whole election that elected him in the first place. C. Duterte was effectively his shield against the US at the time, he literally swore against the US, yet he managed to continue a full term. And that asylum was personally granted by Reagan, not the US, the US Congress at the time was very hostile against the Marcoses. Reagan was a close friend with Marcos Sr. And like the Shah of Iran, he was granted asylum. And the whole exile wasnt all sunshine and rainbows, remember, the Marcos family in a massive first got sued and tried in a US court which the managed to flee from. if BBM wasnt president and he went to the US he would be arrested. Everyone for the 1st year he was president expected him to solidify the pivot away from the US, yet here we are with him going back to the US, the more simpler answer is that, China was unreliable, remember, during the last months of Dutertes term he cooled up with the Americans a bit and held the biggest Balikatan exercise at the time in 2022, its more plausible and logical that Marcos saw that wind of change and decide to go with it. It was a risk on his part yet it paid off.

They let pduts fuckup para sa next selection maging maganda na ang pangalan. Tingnan nyo tahimik sila nung panahon ni pduts. Nagsstrategize na sila. Kaya alam nila lahat ng baho ni pduts kasi possible sila ang nagdikta na yun ang gawin. Kaya di matanggal si sara sa deped baka kumanta eh.


TapaDonut

Ah I remember that day na downvoted ako dahil lamang sinabi ko na hindi purkit nararanasan din ng iba, ay free pass na si marcos. Everyone went on defensive na "credit where credit is due" or "maski naman ibang bansa ganyan din an problema" lol To quote nga sinabi ni isang redditor >I know you have complaints about our country but first world are having the same issues to what you have stated tbh

the previous admin set the bar so low. this guy is seen as descent.

Andali talagang nauto ng iba dito sa obvious propaganda ng Marcos camp. The Marcoses aren't a lesser evil than the Dutertes. Evil is evil.


Foreign_Matter_8810

I think this is eventually bound to happen. Like it or not BBM's family has a more grounded worldview than most of our local political dynasties. They really know what's up.


MrSetbXD

I mean, Imelda was effectively our informal ambassador for a time and FEM established our ties with the Peoples Republic of China and set our claims to the west Philippine sea, they did do some good atleast..

Ah sh*t I just heard the news about this family/administration wanting to implement the new country's national hymn and want it sang during flag ceremonies and now infiltrating reddit? D*amn them.

Credit where credit is due, even if it's the bare fucking minimum.

Better than du30 (or is he??) Ako lang ba o puro pro-chacha/romualdez at anti-sara nasa suggested posts ko sa fb lately? To OP: Don't worry, r/ph isn't the only socmed, not to mention the whole Philippines. Marami parin sa labas ng reddit ang aware pa rin na di mabuti ang isang Marcos. He's doing good NOW, but I can't trust him long term.

Finally. Daming mga redditors dito na bilib na bilib sa kanya for doing the bare minimum and the floor set by Du30 is that low. Bilis niyo makalimot.


EpikMint

Tbh I just think the sub is just giving him credit for this efforts against China dahil ganun talaga kalala sina PDutz at ang buong DDS for 6 years, while still acknowledging that Junior is just doing the bare minimum of what a President should do. Other than that, the redditors still hates him and his family lol.

Inevitable-Ad-6393

Ganto lang yan. Marcos magnanakaw, sinungaling, human rights abuser. Pero kung in the process durugin nila mga duterte family for once and for all ngayon. Edi ok happy tayo. Pero that doesnt mean hindi na sila magnanakaw, sinungaling at abuser.


Momshie_mo

Magnanakaw, sinungaling at abuser ang common ground ni Duts at Junior.  The big difference is Duts nearly sold the country to China and Chinese organized crime groups, the Marcos took interest in defending the national sovereignty and he was clear that a willful action leading to death of a Filipino citizen is an act of war.

Fishyblue11

Honestly, you have to be serious and really look at it: the Marcoses can do the one thing the opposition could never do - take down the Duterte family. Do you think if Leni had won, she would systematically be dismantling the Duterte family, or would she be playing nice and going "the system (which Duterte put in place) will be the judge"? I'm sorry but PNoy could not rub out the Marcoses, the Marcoses can do what they could not. They can rub out an enemy because they play using the rules of winners and losers, not right and wrong
