Ferdinand Marcos Jr, better known as “Bongbong”, is the president of the Philippines. His popularity skyrocketed in recent years, particularly among Gen Z, thanks to his stardom on tiktok. But it was almost 40 years ago that he fled the country as a young governor when his father’s authoritarian and corrupt government was overturned in a dramatic coup.

I found this episode really didn't explain why Filipinos voted for Marcos and previously Duterte. It didn't explain the influence of the media in the country. When talking about the history of the Marcos family there was nothing about the Aquino family and their influence on politics and the media in the country for decades until the election of Duterte.
