Many know that the defection of former senator Juan Ponce Enrile led to the ouster of former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in February 1986 and yet many wonder why the latter’s namesake, President “Bongbong” Marcos made Enrile presidential legal adviser.
Many know that the defection of former senator Juan Ponce Enrile led to the ouster of former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in February 1986 and yet many wonder why the latter’s namesake, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., harbored no ill feelings and made Enrile presidential legal adviser.“He is like my uncle. I call him Tito Johnny and I’ve called him that since I was a child,” Marcos told TV host-vlogger Toni Gonzaga in an interview aired during his 65th birthday on AllTV channel.
“So, that is not a problem. Ang daming nangyari na since 86,” Marcos told Gonzaga, dismissing issues that continue to hound Enrile’s role in the bloodless People Power Revolt. “He has explained it so we talked about so often. For me, it didn’t seem to be an attack on my father,” Marcos said.In fact, the Chief Executive believed Enrile would have made a good president compared to many others.“Whatever it is we have discussed it sufficiently that we are happy to be with one another and happy to work with one another,” he said.
