News Reflection: Bongbong Marcos didn’t get what he wanted

Not even all his family's ill-gotten wealth could change his destiny

What “Bongbong” Marcos really wanted was to not become a politician, he tells Gary V in his podcast Unshaken. As a young boy, the President imagined himself growing up to be a scientist, and he deeply enjoyed music. The last thing he wanted was to pick up what his father and mother were doing: politics.

But, like the rest of us, Ferdinand Jr. couldn’t always get what he wanted, billions of dollars in ill-gotten wealth notwithstanding. This week’s News Reflection with Paterno Esmaquel II. – Rappler.com
