This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)

> Manila - Philippine protesters rallied on Saturday to mark the 37th anniversary of the "People Power" revolution, which ousted President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's dictator father and sent the family into exile.

> Thirteen-year-old Kyle Navera said he had heard "Bad things happened" to people who opposed Marcos Sr. "It looks like he is starting. I hope he does not go down that path," Navera said, referring to the ongoing deadly drug war started by Marcos Jr's predecessor Rodrigo Duterte.

> As an ailing Marcos Sr desperately clung to power in 1986, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of the capital for four days in a military-backed uprising against his regime.

How many shoes did the first Marcos's wife have in her closet? Around 3000 pairs if I remember right.

It was so absolutely outrageous at the time.

I wonder how many people have 3000 pairs now?

From what I’ve heard about this story, through massive manipulation of Facebook to get the people to trust the son again and hate the current government. The ousted family bought their way back into the good graces of the people with a campaign of relentless propaganda.
