The transfiguration of President Aquino into King Canute

FOR President Aquino’s bizarre transfiguration into King Canute at the 30th anniversary commemoration of  the Edsa People power revolt,  Filipinos should either credit or blame the New York Times.

It was America’s most influential  newspaper,  with its report that “Filipinos are yearning for the Golden Age of Marcos,” that impelled the President  to launch a tirade against the Marcos family, and caused him to ask our people not to vote for Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr  for vice president in the May elections.
