I correct u lady,he is not dictator son,he is the son of our heros president ferdenand e.marcos sr,we will correct our history
Were sick and tired of the liberals!
Dictatorial? Come over here and see for your self if there is no freedom here!
Why do all these big media in the US like this NBC news calls BBM a son of a dictator? Where is your proof that his Father was a dictator??? You are upsetting 31 Million + people who voted for BBM!
Are you sure ?
What ???
Million* attended
Bong Bong Marcos won because misinformation works.
Your network is so bias about our incoming president , how dare you to say that he is the son of a dictator. You have no knowlege about the truth.
EDSA IS A FLUKE OF HISTORY
Only in the Phillippines you'll see a dictators family allowed to work in politics again 🤦🏻♀️
Overthrown by the CIA… Kidnapped and was brought to hawaii..
Thanks God. Philippines 🇵🇭 will be great again. Forever.DU30 and Marcos.👊🏽✌🏽🇵🇭❤️
Congratulations President Marcos Jr thank you for your return. ✌❤💚✌
To be honest no matter how many president of the Philippines has change the outcome of corruption is still the same
All the bags ,all the shoes that you mentioned it is all a gifts from there friends and visitors from other countries (presidents and royal ‘s families)why you don’t search in Philippines you can find in manila museum and differents sizes of shoes…and we thanks God and fellow Filipinos that they are open there eyes that it’s time to try it BBM like his Father and he will continue the Duter’s administration we love BBM and SARA …we need to protect our president and the UNITEAM…thank you and God bless us…
Imagine if H*tler's son gets to be elected as the leader of Germany. That's what's happening to the Philippines rn.
A history in the Philippines. No more duping by dirty politicians,,,
for 30 years by the yellow people and now they changed it to pink.
Same words, same song and the same dance.
hmm hmm
The smart people just woke up….
that's the reason of the super landslide win. Amen.
✌✌✌👊👊👊❤❤❤💚💚💚🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏
Majority of Pilipino vote him to win🎉🎉🎉
We are a sovereign people unless you forget. US and Cory, icon of Democracy, gifted that to us. So what is wrong if we elected a Marcos to Power??? I supposed our sovereign rights to elect our leaders are not limited….or you don't think so? Or which is which???? 🤭🤭🤭🤭♥️💚
This time, majority of the Filipinos already wakened and understand the behind distorted story of the Philippines during the regime of the late Ferdinand Marcos,
Its also the right time, to make the world and other countries know what is the real behind stories of MARSHAL LAW, and what are the good side marshal law brought to the lives of the Filipino back then. 🙂
Main stream media with the fake news strikes again
What happened to the trial of the century in New York? Were the Marcos ever convicted of all the charges thrown to them?
FYI He's a YouTuber. https://youtu.be/8XJxwNsLZKo
Ask the 31 million Filipinos why we vote for Marcos.. stop insulting Filipinos by making it sounds like Marcos is evil.. show the Marcos side of the history!! 31 million!!! We vote for him because we know the truth!!! Unlike this mainstream biased media like NBC , CNN, Anc and all the oligarchs funded news agency!!
A son of a brutal dictator?? Seriously?? You don't know the real history. Stop calling our president a son of a dictator! Idiots
Marcos didn't corrupt anything …we are filipino we know the truth …late ferdinand Marco is not a dictator he done a lot of wonderful things to our country …God knows the truth …❤️
Liberal party is dead.
Just to remind the west because I’m pretty sure you are not really aware on what happened before.
Martial Law was declared because the communist NPA ( New Peoples Army ) or we called it today as terrorist wanted to destroy the previous government.
They wanted to have the power and position to control the whole country and make it as a communist which led my Joma Sison ( Jose Maria Canlas Sison )
Even today and just last year, they just killed an athlete student named Keith Absalon.
He was just riding his bicycle with his family then this terrorist group denoted a anti personnel land mine.
WE DON’T WANT TO BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY.
WE DON’T WANT ANY TERRORIST IN OUR COUNTRY.
