During his campaign for the Presidency, Marcos Junior thus refused to participate in the debates and discussions in which he would have had to answer any question related to his father’s 14-year rule. So did his senator sister wave aside any attempt to look into that period. She thus implied that they, particularly her brother, would and could do better this time than when they were last in residence in Malacañang Palace. Their “second chance” provides them the opportunity to avoid committing the mistakes of the past.
Not that these don’t matter; they do. But nothing, it seems, can be done about either in these isles of elite privilege, unaccountable power and impunity— unless, however, the Marcos II administration itself does something about it. The Marcos II regime could dispel fears that it is leery of free expression and press freedom by welcoming media engagement in government aairs as a democratic imperative; initiating through its allies in Congress the decriminalization of libel; and putting a stop to the red-tagging and other forms of harassment of journalists and activist groups.
To put it plainly, the incoming administration has to review the methods and even some of the policies and political culture of the outgoing regime of Marcos Junior’s reluctant and tentative ally — who, lest we forget, once described him as “a weak leader” and even implied that he was on drugs.
Good article! Indeed, its the Marcoses who need to move on and do better!
