Marcos Jr’s first 100 days: The truth is out

The truth will out. Belying the Imeldific maxim “perception is real, truth is not,” the last 100 days have revealed the truth of the new administration despite its constant efforts to bend people’s perceptions.
Pres. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr has been framed in many ways by his propagandists, allies and sycophants. He has the good qualities of his father and will bring back his “golden years”. Though a Duterte ally, he will bring back civility and dignity to the presidency lost under his predecessor. Though wildly controversial, he put together a government of the “best and the brightest” crossing political lines.
At his inaugural address, Marcos Jr himself postured as a radical reformer and promised a “comprehensive, all-inclusive plan for economic transformation.”
