Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is officially inaugurated as the Philippine leader
[BenarNews] Ferdinand Marcos Jr. praised his dictator father as he was inaugurated Thursday as the 17th president of the Philippines, in a remarkable political comeback that has largely rehabilitated one of Asia’s most notorious political dynasties.Wearing traditional Filipino garb and surrounded by his family, the son and namesake of the late Filipino dictator took his oath before Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo in a ceremony held at Manila’s National Museum amid a highly charged atmosphere between his supporters and critics. Marcos Jr., known among supporters as "Bongbong," also extended the olive branch to his political foes during his speech at the event, witnessed by three former Filipino presidents and foreign dignitaries including Douglas Emhoff, the second gentleman of the United States.
