Marcos at Davos: Economic lies and cherry-picking galore

As far as the government is concerned, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s Davos trip is turning out to be a rousing success.
But upon closer inspection, and after watching the videos, one quickly realizes that Marcos’ speeches at the Alps are full of hot air, cherry-picking the good bits about the Philippine economy while omitting all the uglier bits.
For instance, in his chat with World Economic Forum President Børge Brende, Marcos boasted that the Philippines is the “fastest” growing ASEAN country. This is not true.
