PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS: “BONGBONG” Vice President candidate, “I will cooperate next president”

The Election Day is almost here and all the candidates, their supporters and detractors have all put their cards on the public table; whatever strategies
had been devised by all the candidates before and during the campaigning for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections have been deployed many times over.

The surveys have also given an indication as to where each candidate stands.

Out of all the candidates for both the posts, there is only one candidate who has to fight the battle for his candidature on more fronts than one.
In fact, he is not only fighting his own pitched battles but is also having to fight the battles of his father’s rule.

Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. who is popularly known as “Bongbong Marcos” is a Senator in the Filipino 16^th Congress; he is the only son of the former dictator, President Ferdinand Marcos.

It is said that the ghosts of the past come back to haunt each one of us, but in his case he is being made to pay for the deeds of his father, the dictator
Ferdinand Marcos who ruled Philippines for a period of 20 years as a dictator.

The basic laws that apply to all of us universally dictate that you cannot pay for the sins of others but Marcos Ferdinand is unable to shake off the
animosity and hostilities which are directed at him by the detractors and enemies of his father.

He is an aspirant for the post of Vice-President and, in spite of the antagonism of the detractors he has reached the Senatorial level; he announced on
Wednesday that irrespective of who gets elected as the President of the Philippines, he, Marcos Jr. would positively support the winner wholeheartedly in case he was himself elected as Vice-President.

He also clarified that he would not allow past history or the party affiliations to come in the way of his unconditional cooperation with the next President of the Philippines.

He declared that his strategy, if elected to the prestigious post of Vice-President, it will be a leadership of cooperation and partnership with whoever is elected President.

It may be mentioned that this son of the former President has been leading the forecasts and surveys till now. He also stressed his belief in
the principles of unity and this has been his consistent message throughout the campaign.
