THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PHILIPPINES

The term "Golden Age" in Philippine history is contested. Marcos invested in infrastructure but left the nation in debt. Cory Aquino moved towards democracy but had limited economic growth. Benigno Aquino achieved good economic numbers but was criticized for fiscal conservatism. Duterte attracted foreign investment but had human rights and pandemic response issues. No single era stands out as a clear "Golden Age," and Filipinos remain optimistic about the future.
