Sat On The Throne: Take In Charge

(Letter To The President)

      According to https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/11/asia/marcos-philippines-president-explainer-intl-hnk/index.html to Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is the presumptive President of the Philippines after winning a landslide in elections on May 9, according to unofficial results.

More than 30 million Filipinos voted for Marcos Jr., more than double that of his closest rival, the outgoing Vice President Leni Robredo, partial and unofficial results showed.

Despite his popularity among millions of voters, many Filipinos are shocked by his win and what it means for democracy in the Philippines.

Marcos Jr. is a member of one of the country’s most notorious political families. His win, analysts say, is the successful culmination of a decades-long rebranding campaign that has revived the Marcos family’s name and image.

    Every votes of the Filipinos matters. This can change lives by voting as a whole who will lead our country in the Philippines. Some Filipinos doesn't want President "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. to lead our country due the event of Martial Law. President Marcos should take an explicit stand  for democracy.

According to Amnesty International, at least 50,000 people were arrested and detained under martial law from 1972 to 1975 alone, among them church workers, human rights activists, legal aid lawyers, labor leaders and journalists. This Marcos Dictatorship abuses Human Rights. People are tortured for fighting the Human Rights. People were killed but they are called heroes. 

Due to the traumatizing past, people are left questionable on how President "Bongbong" Marcos will lead the country. Would he be better than his father? Would he gain the trust of other Filipinos in leading the country? 

People are curious how President "Bongbong" Marcos will most likely do even though other Filipinos are still against it till now he won the election. The news reported that President Marcos rate got low cause of the inflation towards prices on supermarkets. The prices still continuously rise but President Marcos made a plan to low its prices.

My feelings for President "Bongbong" Marcos is opinionated. I've gathered my emotions and trust if it show more actions than words. We need a stable president who is willing to make our country better. Who is willing to fight its countrymen. 

I'm still holding judgement cause I don't want to invalidate someone actions. If he's willing to be a great leader then we are safe. But like what I said earlier, let them tell if it's not all criticism. We can't control if they are against The Marcos Family but I felt what had happened that left them traumatized.
