The Marcos apologists cannot be swayed by the explanations of the concerned citizens of the country not to vote the younger Marcos, even the Catholic clergy's persuasion to dislike Marcos Jr. fell on deaf ears; and the election result was ... a deafening victory of Marcos, Jr. as president of the Philippine Republic.
Now, Marcos, Jr. is now on his eighth month as the undisputed leader of the Philippines, and it seems like he is not doing something for the good of the country. For eight straight months, the economy of the republic under his baton is bearish, and it seems like the longer he is at the helm of the presidency, the sicker the Philippine economy becomes.
As we take a look during the campaign season from October 2021 to May 2022, Marcos, Jr. did not offer anything to the people in his campaign trails/sorties. What Marcos, Jr. would always talk during his campaign meetings was UNITY, nothing more, nothing less. He would not talk about his foreign policy, economic policy, and even domestic policy.
His campaigners' voices were reverberating over the social media saying over and over again, that if Marcos, Jr. would be president, the Marcos family would give the Filipino people tons of gold coming from the Marcoses themselves, because they have plenty of it due to the fact that the elder Marcos was a gold trader even before he became president.
Now, after several months from the younger Marcos' presidential victory, the so-called MARCOS GOLD which his supporters have waited for a long time has not arrived yet, the country's economy is the worst in Southeast Asia, unimaginative inflation rate is climbing faster each month, and some of his supporters are hitting each other.
As this writer would scour the social media, plenty of Marcos Jr's supporters have repented for their undoing which was about electing him as president of the land. Many of his supporters are now silent when the advocates of good governance would ask them as regards to the accomplishments of the BBM Administration.
The silence of Marcos Jr's supporters is very shocking because they were so unwavering during the campaign period, their energy in campaigning for Marcos Jr. was in full throttle, yet they are now silent, quiet, and calm. Does their silence means regrets for the wrong choice that they have committed on the forgettable 2022 presidential elections?
Well, only one thing I can say in conjunction to the indecision Marcos Jr's supporters have done IN RE: THE 2022 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS; they cannot undo their regrettable decision, FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE.
