WHY do we easily forget things? For instance, how come we seemed to have forgotten the ills of the Marcoses during the Martial Law regime as Senator Ferdinand Jr. appears to be taken seriously in the 2016 race for the vice-presidency? How about the convicted plunderer Joseph Estrada (who was later pardoned by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) who won the mayoralty race in Manila and is poised to claim his second term in office? There are many examples out there to prove that we Filipinos have short-term memory.
