We beg to differ.
This picture sums up what became of the EDSA Revolution’s Legacy 40 years hence. It also demonstrates the saying, “there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.” (attributed to Lord Palmerston of the UK) Those who are noisy on social media and tend to be lumped with the “dilawan” side of politics will…

The movie Maid in Malacanang featured the perspective of the Marcos family on what transpired during the three fateful days that led to then-President Ferdinand Marcos leaving the Philippines. It is definitely a bestseller, raking in hundreds of millions in sales as the movie was being shown in cinemas worldwide. With another Marcos leading the…
