The eldest daughter of the former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos on Tuesday began her bid to secure a Senate seat to solidify her family’s political comeback since the Marcoses fled in disgrace following a popular revolt more than 30 years ago, The Straits Times reports. The Philippines on September 21 marked the 46th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law by then-president Ferdinand Marcos that plunged the country into a dark era of dictatorship. The Duterte era may turn out to be the Marcos family’s last gasp. These years may be their last opportunity to win back the presidency and everything that goes with it, writes John Nery for The Korean Herald.
