    Ferdinand Marcos, Filipino Dictator and Father of Bong Bong Pt 2

    Today on World on Drugs we look at what happens when a dictator gains power due to his promise to fight communists. We’ll be talking about former President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos. This episode is another banger and full of plenty of juicy and unfortunate details of what happened to his political opponents. You’ll hear about his life, rise to power, how he became a dictator and then the awful things that happened to his enemies when he became a full-fledged dictator while holding the Philippines under martial law. It’s a wild one today on World on Drugs. GUEST Filipino American, Andrew Orolfo has been named one of the country’s "top knot" comedians by... don't even ask, just go with it. An established staple in San Francisco comedy, he has been featured in SF Sketchfest, High Plains Comedy Festival  and Comedy Central Clusterfest. He can be heard on Sirius XM Radio and seen on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as Jo Koy: In His Elements on Netflix.
