Death and taxes and Marcos
As the second year of COVID-19 comes to a close, we Filipinos are learning to accept the reality that there is more than just death and taxes that are inevitable in life. In the Philippines, at least.

You’ll be astounded by the staggering numbers when you Google the number of TikTok accounts the Marcoses and their supporters have. Even more confounding is the exponential capacity of those accounts to share posts.
The issue involving alleged nonpayment of tax deficiencies by presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has degenerated into a battle of certifications as the date set by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for its first hearing on the former senator’s disqualification from the 2022 elections draws near.
The poll body has yet to issue a decision on any of the eight cancellation and disqualification cases against the former senator.
No official record or news report reflects such a remark by Keon.
Several netizens believed the satirical page was a legitimate news organization and accused it of “biased” reporting.
The two videos carried similar headlines but different contents to support their false claims.
The fake clip was shared from a Dec. 1 post of Facebook (FB) page BBM for President. It bore TikTok’s watermark and was originally uploaded by user mbfcel, but said copy had been taken down.
With six petitions filed with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to thwart his presidential bid in 2022, former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has yet to speak up and clear his name of the allegations against him. He has been leaving the talking to his spokesperson and his adoptive political party, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP).
Prior to the post’s publication, there were at least two Supreme Court (SC) decisions confirming the thievery of the Marcoses.
