All the talk of internal conflict in the new administration aside, the President and his family are committed to four overriding objectives. Published on July 7, 2022.
What can we expect from the second Marcos presidency?
I suggested an initial answer in a column last March: First, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will "concentrate power in his office to authoritarian levels—without the need to impose military rule nationwide." And second, he will "complete the rehabilitation of his father's reputation, and … establish the Marcos legacy as mainstream history."
Last April, at a forum on the future of Philippine democracy organized by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, I expanded on the second idea.
I proposed that we can expect the Marcos family to pursue four overriding objectives; I called them the four REs.
