Marcos campaigned on a unity platform, pledging to heal the divides of a deeply

polarized Philippines. Unfortunately, unity does not translate into concrete, thorough
policy. Marcos won the election without attending a debate or presenting a coherent
platform. Instead, he rode a massive wave of disinformation on social media that
harkened back to the glamour and prosperity of the Philippines’ “Golden Age” under his
father’s rule. Marcos won the “Solid North” of the country, where his family enjoys
significant popularity and influence. Brokered by former president Gloria Arroyo,
Marcos’s partnership with Sara Duterte (outgoing president Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter)
helped win him the votes of the Solid South in central Visayas and Mindanao. Despite
the promised return to a “Golden Age,” neither the Marcos nor Duterte transition team
present a plan to get the Philippines there. There is uncertainty about how Marcos will
manage the country moving forward. Moreover, the tenuous Marcos-Duterte alliance, or
“UniTeam,” will test their shared approach to governance.
The Legislative takes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and
Senate, Executive carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal
agencies) while Judicial evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts).
To sum up everything that have been stated looking to "reintroduce the
Philippines" to the world, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has plans for his nation on the
international stage and at home if, that is, the twin specters of pandemic and climate
change can be overcome or at least managed. And if he can surmount the legacies of
two people: his predecessor and his father. In addition, he also wants to strengthen ties
with both the United States and China a delicate balancing act for the Southeast Asian
nation and, like many of his fellow leaders at the United Nations this week, called on the
countries that have caused global warming to help fewer wealthy nations counteract its
effects. Lastly, the situation of the Philippines right now is not good because the drugs
are existing again, and killings are existing also.

Free verse - is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the
French verse libre form. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any
musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
Examples of free verse:
 Christopher Smart, ‘My Cat Jeoffry’.
 For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry.
 For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him.
 For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way.
 For this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness.
 For then he leaps up to catch the musk, which is the blessing of God upon his
prayer.

Blank verse - can be composed in any meter and with any amount of feet per line (any
line length), though the iamb is generally the predominant foot. Along with the iamb are
3 other standard feet and a number of variations that can be employed in a blank verse
poem. It is difficult--almost impossible--to write a blank verse poem consisting of all
iambs, and other types of feet get used more often than one may think.
Examples of blank verse:
 unstressed-stressed, as in "today"
 Trochee- two syllables, stressed-unstressed, as in "standard".
 Anapest- three syllables, unstressed-unstressed-stressed, as in "disengage"
 Dactyl- three syllables, stressed-unstressed-unstressed, as in "probably".

Rhymed verse - the most common and it usually has a metrical form that rhymes
throughout.
Examples of rhymed verse:
 "Roses are red, violets are blue, / Sugar is sweet, and so are you."
Haiku - an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing
usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively
Examples of haiku
 In a Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound
The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough. Describing the
Paris Underground, “In a Station of the Metro” is often considered the first haiku written
in English, though it does not follow the 5/7/5 structure.

Narrative poem - is a longer form of poetry that tells an entire story, with a beginning,
middle, and end.
Example of narrative poem
 The Iliad and the Odyssey, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and The Mahabharata

Limerick - a kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second-, and fifth-
lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a
rhymed couplet.
Example of limerick
 There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, 'It is just as I feared!

Sonnet - a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in
English typically having ten syllables per line.
Example of sonnet
 My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun, by William Shakespeare
