DSG | PBMM’s main goal was to help “regular” Filipinos | PNA | MANILA — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. would want to be known for how hard he worked to make life better for everyone in the Philippines, even the most average people.

Marcos said in his vlog that was posted on his official Facebook page Saturday that it didn’t matter what kind of impact he left behind as long as he helped improve the lives of his countrymen.

“Kapag wala na ako, sana maalala ako na siya’y talagang tumulong sa pangkaraniwan na taong Pilipino (After my presidency, I hope I would be remembered for helping the ordinary Filipinos),” he said when asked about the impact he wants to leave behind.

Marcos said that he is more interested in using his time to help the people of the Philippines.

“Hindi natin masyadong iniisip iyang legasiya na iyan. Dahil sa dami ng kailangan nating gawin eh trabaho lang muna. Kapag maganda naman ang ating magagawa, iyan ang magiging legasiya na (I am not thinking about my memory. Since I have a lot to do, I’ll just focus on my job. He said, “If I can do a good job, that will be my legacy.”

“Hindi naman dapat kailangang isipin na ginagawa ito para maalala ako. Ay, hindi. Ginagawa natin lahat para makabuti at makatulong sa taumbayan. I’m doing this for myself. I’m not doing it to be recognized. I don’t plan to do that. I do everything I can to help people and make their lives better. “That will be my legacy,” Marcos said.

Marcos also encouraged people to visit the heritage sites at Malacañang Palace to learn about the country’s long past.

The public can now visit the Bahay Ugnayan Museum, the Teus Mansion, and the Goldenberg Mansion.

In the Bahay Ugnayan, you can see the current President, and in the Teus Mansion, you can see the colorful and varied past of the presidents who came before him.

“‘Yung Teus Mansion ay ang museo para sa mga nagdaang pangulo. Pagkatapos ng termino ko ay nandiyan na rin ako. At ang Bahay Ugnayan naman ay siyang magiging museum para sa kung sinuman ang pangulo sa panahon na ‘yun (The Teus Mansion is the museum for the past presidents. After my time is over, that museum will be about me, and the Bahay Ugnayan will be the President’s museum,” Marcos said.

On the other hand, the Goldenberg Mansion will be used for the “Goldenberg Series,” which is a cultural project that aims to raise knowledge of and celebrate the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage.

Marcos said that knowing about the country’s history was important because it would teach Filipinos not to make the same mistakes twice.

“Napakahalagang tayo ay alam natin ang kasaysayan ng Pilipino para naman matuto tayo na ‘yung mga pagkakamali na ating dating ginawa ay huwag na nating ulitin. ‘Yung mga magaganda na nagawa noong nakaraan ay dapat nating ulitin (It’s important to know the history so we will learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating those. It will also show us what’s good so we can do more of it,” he said. (PNA)
