    By VERA Files  |  Nov 15, 2022 10:04 AM

    Sa pagtatapos ng kanyang apat na araw na biyahe sa Cambodia para sa ika-40 at ika-41 ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, humarap si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. sa Filipino community doon kung saan muli niyang sinabi na nakuha niya noong nakaraang Mayo ang “pinakamaraming boto” sa kasaysayan ng eleksyon sa Pilipinas. Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.
