"Highly recommend this. Like her or loathe her you can't deny the blatant pesos for politics. Watching Marcos hand out wads of cash to kids in a hospital ward in front of the cameras was as cynical as it was sickening. I've never paid much (read: any) attention to Filipino politics but will be following along the 2022 election with interest!..."
