E20: Marcos Pa Rin, Mga Utol!

1 hour 6 minutes

On our 20th episode, we are joined by my good friend JOHN BOMBITA!!! Wala na akong kilalang mas mahusay pa sa history than John. Dahil malapit na ang September 21, paguusapan natin ang favorite president nang marami, (or maybe next lang kay President Duterte) none other than, Ferdinand Marcos. At dahil controversial ang usapan, kailangan bigatin din ang references natin. Feel free to fact check our data:
