After being sworn in, in his first speech in the presidency, Marcos thanked voters for giving him “the largest electoral mandate in the history of Philippine democracy” and praised his father’s years in office.

The 64 -year -old son of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who ruled the country for nearly 20 years – from 1965 to 1986, became President of the Philippines. This was reported by the Russian service of the Air Force.

Ferdinand Marcos Jr., known by his nickname Bongbong, won the presidential election in May by a large margin, where more than 31 million voters voted for him.

Under oath, in his first presidential speech, Marcos thanked voters for giving him “the largest electoral mandate in the history of Philippine democracy” and praised the years of his father, Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who was accused of the opponents of many people. violations and abuses of rights. .

During Marcos Sr.’s rule, martial law was introduced in the Philippines, security forces detained and tortured thousands of dissidents, and often killed political opponents of the regime. However, the son’s appreciation of his father’s heritage is different.

“Once I met a man who saw how little we have achieved since independence. He changed that. Now it’s his son. You won’t hear any excuses from me,” the country’s new president said.

It will be recalled that last year the oldest woman in the world, born in the 19th century, died in the Philippines.
