What SCARES the Yellowtards and communists most about Toni Gonzaga’s Bongbong Marcos interview

Those who don’t read history, are condemned to repeat it. This is the curse bedeviling the Philippines. Historical revisionism. It wasn’t until Teodoro Agoncillo wrote the History of the Filipino People did we become aware of the betrayals of the leaders of the Philippine Revolution.
