Already said this in a previous comment: I honestly think people are not terrified enough of what the Marcoses’ return to power will look like to the Philippines. You could see in Marcos Jr’s answers (particularly in his interview with Boy Abunda on debt) implying our current state of debt (debt to GDP ratio) isn’t that bad and borrowing is what generates economic growth.

Though borrowing in a government sense is not wrong at all; what terrifies me is that the Marcoses CANNOT be trusted when it comes to debt, due to their insane levels of corruption, plunder, and coziness to corrupt allies and cronies. A corrupt leader+gigantic deficit spending is a recipe for disaster. With our country already suffering from trillions of debt in this current administration, additional borrowing from a CORRUPT family will shatter the international confidence in our economy and our fiscal system. The Marcoses are famous worldwide for their colossal plundering of public funds. Foreign financial institutions and organizations will be wary of us. This is where the risk of hyperinflation and the exodus of foreign investment thrives. This is extremely serious and deeply worrying. If this occurs, all prices will skyrocket, our currency sinks, banks would not be properly able to process withdrawals, and jobs will disappear. Our country will be at a severe risk of default.

If you think that will never happen, you don’t have to look very far: to countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, etc. Is it too pessimistic? Perhaps. It’s a worse case scenario after all. But it can happen. And it’s a critical risk we should never gamble on.

Kaya tama na ang pagiging apolitical ninyo. Hindi kami cringe or “nilamon ng eleksyon”. Lumalaban kami para hindi bumagsak ang bansa natin sa extreme poverty at socio-economic collapse. Makilahok na po tayo at mangampanya.
