HISTORIANS will look with amazement, shaking their heads in anger, at the Marcos-Romualdez cabal's frenzied plots, all in 2024, to continue in power after Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by law must step down in 2028. Rather than focusing on the economy, which faces both local and international headwinds at least this year, they concentrated on their shameless efforts to continue in power by hook or by crook, no doubt inspired by Ferdinand's father's 13 years of authoritarian rule.
All three were foiled by a vigilant public, especially by the Senate, social media and political activist citizens. The county should now shout, "Strike 3, you're out."
