Summary
If anyone thought Filipinos had seen the last of the Marcoses when they fled to exile in Hawaii in 1986, they were sorely mistaken, as events have clearly born out. “Enough!” we said, “Never Again!”. Yet years later they were welcomed back into the country, and now the late dictator’s son is eyeing the highest office in the land. So what is it about Filipinos and their short memories? Or their forgiving natures? How is it that young Filipinos think the two decades of Marcos rule were positively utopian? Simultaneously shaking their heads in disbelief and flipping through history with us are award-winning veteran journalist Marites D. Vitug, history teacher Joey Fernandez and newly politicized singer, actor and rising TikTok star Reb Atadero. If we want to hold out for a hero, we’d better heed the lessons of history first.
