*Ferdinand Marcos Jr drops Philippines holiday marking toppling of father.*

His father was a corrupt dictator who was toppled by massive protests. It looks like this adds to Marcos Jr's campaign to cover up the truth about that dictator.

The book Controlling Corruption, by Robert Klitgaard, describes in one chapter the measures that Marcos Sr used to stamp out corruption in the Philippine Customs Agency. In most of the government agencies, Marcos encouraged agents to take bribes and give part of them to him. But anyone practicing corruption in the customs agency was stealing from Marcos and he did not like that. The book points out that the measures in question were effective in the customs agency despite the fact that the whole government around it was pervasively corrupt.
