. on Friday spoke to scientists and students, urging them to study well while baring his supposed failure to become a scientist himself.

It was only towards the end that it was explained to me by my father that, ‘Mahirap yung science, hindi ka yayaman diyan,'” Marcos“Boy, if you were alive now, I would like to introduce him to Elon Musk, I’d like to introduce him to [Jeff] Bezos, I’d like to introduce him to Microsoft, to Apple, so that is why I feel strongly about it,” he added.
He assured scientists of his administration’s support “to make science an instrument of progress and prosperity for the Filipino.”“I suppose with the words I am saying, you would be able to detect that I am a frustrated scientist,” the president said.There are no immediate records indicating that Marcos’ early years in school were focused on science before he shifted to another academic track.
