In Time Magazine's latest item issued on Wednesday, Charlie Campbell, the author, recognized Marcos's efforts in bringing technocrats back into government, steadied the post-pandemic economy, and elevated the Philippines on the world stage.
He was also recognized for standing steadfastly against the Chinese in the disputed South China Sea or West Philippine Sea and bolstering "his nation’s alliance with the U.S. in the face of “rising tensions in our region and the world."
"Many problems persist, including extrajudicial killings and journalists routinely attacked. But by trying to repair his family name, Bongbong may reshape his country too," Campbell furthered.
Other former Philippine presidents who made the list were Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino in 2013 and Rodrigo Duterte in 2017.
