Ferdinand Marcos is back
MANILA, Philippines – His name used to be poison in the Philippines but Ferdinand Marcos Jr is now talking about becoming president after elections showed him to be one of the nation’s most popular politicians.
The dictator’s son also insists his family has nothing to apologise for in regards to his father and namesake’s 20-year rule of the country that ended in 1986 with a “people power” revolution and a humiliating escape into exile.
“My father doesn’t need me to vindicate him,” a relaxed Marcos told AFP on Wednesday in his first major interview since last week’s national elections that saw him secure more than 13 million votes and a seat in the Senate.
