One can recall that POGOs started in the Philippines in the year 2016.

Ferdinand "Bongbong" Romualdez Marcos Jr., also more popularly known as BBM or PBBM, is the 17th President of the Republic of the Philippines. He also served as Governor of Ilocos Norte in 1983, holding that office until the ouster of his father, President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. In 1998, he was elected again as Governor of Ilocos Norte and served for three terms and later ran and won a seat in the Philippine Senate during the 2010 elections. He served as Philippine Senator until 2016. He ran for Vice-President during the 2016 elections but was unsuccessful and in 2022, he ran for president and won with a landslide victory.

Meanwhile, showbiz columnist Lolit Solis took to social media to defend President Bongbong Marcos against those bashing him for using a helicopter to go to the Coldplay concert. It can be recalled that the British rock band held a concert at the sprawling Philippine Arena January 20 and 21. President BBM, along with First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, were among the celebrities who flocked to the arena, though they earned some degree of bashing for using a helicopter to go to the event. According to Manay Lolit, President BBM is doing a lot for the country and deserved a comfortable break, adding that going there using a chopper is befitting of his rank as the country’s leader.

In another social media post in the past, President Marcos, in a vlog published on YouTube, expressed belief that Malacañang Palace is indeed haunted by ghosts. The president then went on to narrate his paranormal experiences while living there as a son of then President Marcos Sr and today as the leader of the Philippines. PBBM shared his hair-raising experience of seeing chairs move by themselves in a guest room he stayed in while waiting for the renovation in his bedroom to be finished. He also talked about walking up the stairs by himself and feeling a strong and heavy presence just behind his back, causing him to alternately walk forward and backward.
