“You cannot blame then BBM for describing his government as functional. Leadership and the presidency involve many complex functions”That is the No. 1 achievement President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. cited after three months and 10 days, when asked by GMA 7 reporter Ivan Mayrina in the Q and A portion of “The President’s Night” of the Manila Overseas Press Club last Oct. 5 at the Sofitel Plaza.
Fidel V. Ramos won in 1992 with only 5.3 million votes ; Joseph Estrada in 1998 with 10.7 million ; Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2004 with 12.9 million ; Benigno Simeon Aquino III in 2010 with 15.2 million ; and Rodrigo Duterte in 2016 with 16.6 million or 39 percent. Little, if any, of alleged massive corruption, was proven despite 36 years of a “functioning” Presidential Commission on Good Government created by Cory Aquino.
To recover from the worst economic slump ever, the government has to borrow more. The BBM administration has just obtained $2 billion in loans thru a first bond sale. Seemingly huge, the $2 billion is not enough.
