I WAS stunned by a column in this paper last week by a writer whom I would have expected to have, being an academic, more respect for data. The piece was entitled 'The audacity of President Marcos, Jr.'This is sycophantic writing at its worst. Not even Marcos' truest believers — not even his wife Liza, whom I would call decidedly audacious for allegedly intervening in state matters — have ever called Marcos 'audacious,' except when he decided to run for the presidency.
The sycophantic writer's second argument that Marcos has been an audacious president because 'he gave our country back its backbone, as he forcefully asserted our rights over our maritime zones. He continued to pound on our sovereign rights granted by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and affirmed by the arbitral tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration.That statement merely shows how colossally and pathetically ignorant Marcos and his sycophantic writer are.
