Bongbong Marcos is the son of another former president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

In 1972, Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law because of “communism” and committed a lot of human rights abuses like imprisoning and killing journalists, students, teachers, his political opponents, etc. He also plundered a lot of money. Up to this day, the Marcos family uses propaganda to disinform the people of the crimes they committed.

So no, there’s no hope in the Marcoses. The Marcos family shoud quit politics and pay back their debt. Anyway, I hope you learned a bit more about our political situation here.

That’s Baybayin. It’s an old Tagalog script that isn’t really used anymore outside of aesthetic purposes. It’s not commonly taught and used in schools for example. Even I couldn’t read this without a guide. There are some efforts to try to revive it though.

Tagalog is usually written with the English alphabet. Like this: Magandang gabi po. Google Translate works.
