Plus: How to deal with urgency at work
| | How the Marcos legacy was redefined |
|
For many people in the Philippines and around the world, the name "Marcos" has horrific associations. For over two decades, dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. ruled with an iron fist, until mass protests in 1986 saw the leader and his family flee the country in disgrace. Now, the Marcos name is back in power. Enter Ferdinand Marcos Jr — also known as Bongbong Marcos — who won the Philippines' presidential election in a landslide victory last year. It's one of the biggest political makeovers in recent history, and one that some critics say points to a broken democracy. Read the full story in our online article, or listen to Take Me To Your Leader via the ABC listen app. Then, tune in to a special episode of This Working Life, hosted by Lisa Leong live at Sydney's first ever South by Southwest festival.
