"Bong Bong" Marcos Wins Philippine Election, 70s Nostalgia
Ferdinand "Bong Bong" Marcos Jr., the son of the former Philippine dictator, has won the presidential election in a landslide. The return of the Marcos family to power coincides with a broader cultural trend of 1970s nostalgia, including the opening of a "Disc Oasis" roller disco in New York's Central Park. The segment notes the historical parallels between the 1970s economic conditions and the present day.
