😂 OOPS SAYS
Imagine publishing a massive investigative exposé only for readers in 1990 to hit you with the ultimate "we already lived through the spoilers" review.
What actually happened
AMERICAN investigative journalist Sterling Seagrave published in 1988 the book “The Marcos Dynasty,” just after EDSA forced dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. out of power. Political science and public administration professor Belinda Aquino wrote in 1990 that Seagrave’s book “repeats accounts that are already well-known.” For the standard of that period, as the dictatorship was still fresh in the memories of Filipinos, the accounts in the book were probably quite well-known.
