Napabilang si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa listahan ng Time Magazine para sa “100 Most Influential People of 2024."
Makikita sa listahan ng TIME na kasama si Marcos sa hanay ng “leaders,” kung saan binanggit sa artikulo ang tungkol sa pagiging pangulo niya ng Pilipinas.
“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.
“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.

Samantala, binanggit din ng TIME na “nanindigan” si Marcos laban sa pananalakay ng China sa “disputed South China Sea.”
“Bongbong has stood steadfast against Chinese aggression in the disputed South China Sea and bolstered his nation’s alliance with the U.S. in the face of ‘rising tensions in our region and the world,’ as he said last May,” anang TIME.
“Many problems persist, including extrajudicial killings and journalists routinely attacked. But by trying to repair his family name, Bongbong may reshape his country too,” saad pa nito.
