Ipinahayag ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO) na ang pagsama ng Time Magazine kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa listahan ng “100 Most Influential People” para sa 2024 ay nagpapakita ng kaniyang “brand of leadership” para sa kapakanan ng mga Pilipino.
“The inclusion of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in the TIME 100 list reflects his brand of leadership that puts the national interest and the welfare of every Filipino above all else,” anang PCO sa isang pahayag nitong Huwebes, Abril 18.
Binanggit din ng PCO na sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang administrasyon, nakararanas umano ang Pilipinas ng “robust economic growth and recovery,” na lumampas daw sa inaasahan at nagdulot ng “confidence” sa economic outlook ng bansa.
“Despite geopolitical tensions and the hurdles posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, President Marcos has elevated the Philippines on the world stage and contributed to regional stability, notably in the Indo-Pacific region,” anang PCO.
PBBM, kasama sa ‘100 Most Influential People of 2024’ ng TIME
“The President continues to steer the country towards peace and prosperity towards his vision of a Bagong Pilipinas,” saad pa nito.
Matatandaang nito lamang Huwebes, nang ilabas ng TIME ang listahan nito ng “100 Most Influential People of 2024” kung saan kasama si Marcos para sa hanay ng “leaders.”
“For Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos to make history, he first needed to rewrite his nation’s. His dictator father plundered billions of dollars from state coffers and stood accused of grievous human-rights violations until his ouster in 1986. Bongbong’s rise to the Philippine presidency in 2022 was owed to whitewashing this family legacy through clever manipulation of social media,” nakasaad sa artikulo ng TIME hinggil kay Marcos.
“Yet Bongbong’s desire to rehabilitate the Marcos name has resulted in other shifts. He brought technocrats back into government, steadied the post-pandemic economy, and elevated the Philippines on the world stage,” dagdag nito.
