Philippines: the challenges ahead for the new president Marcos

Tom Smith

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

The prospects for the Philippines under newly elected president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos have as much to do with a murky past as they do with modern challenges. Electing the son of a former dictator may make no sense to many on the outside, or to the many liberals inside the country who are now doing some deep reflection. But further cold hard truths lie ahead for the Philippines.
