Is he crazy charismatic and persuasive?

No, he has had virtually no mainstream media presence. Absent in nearly all debates and presidential interviews. His campaign relies solely on his family’s name and the propaganda and historical revisionism that the Marcoses have been relying on for decades. There were certain territories here that were always Marcos loyalists, particularly Ilocos Norte.

One of the biggest problem in this country has always been the amount of misinformation propagated on Facebook, Youtube and now TikTok. If you thought the situation in the US was bad, a Cambridge Analytica whistleblower confessed that the Philippines was the company’s petri dish for testing new proxies. Pair that with piss poor public education, and that’s how the son of a dictator wins.

Neither did I till recently. Has some shitty DRM on it that is apparently hard to work around. Oh well.
