    If surveys on the fast-approaching elections hold, the Philippines will soon have a president who has difficulty discerning fact from pseudoscience — the way his mother also does.

It was believed that the deposed dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos had taken everyone dear to him and everything of immense value into exile. He did not. Marcos abandoned his own mother.

    By Joel F. Ariate Jr. and Miguel Paolo P. Reyes  |  Sep 19, 2021 5:57 PM

    “Of course, Imelda and I denied it.”
    That was what then president Ferdinand Marcos wrote in his diary for September 21, 1972.
