Bongbong Marcos – a better leader than his father?

Bongbong Marcos, is the son of the disgraced ex-President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, and his wife, Imelda Marcos. But today Bongbong Marcos is the elected the President of the Philippines. Do his hands tell us that he is the chip of the old block? 

Well, genes are genes, and one does tend to inherit a personality, just like one inherits one's physical features. Yet, each one of us is still a little different, as in the case with Bongbong Marcos. It was his bad luck that both his parents were in the eye of the storm, and neither of them impressive characters. The interesting thing about parental genes is that unless the child is plucked out of the environment, there is little chance of the apple falling in another orchard.

Before getting to Bongbong’s Marcus’s hands, a note about his parents hands can tell us whether there is similarity between their hands and the hands of their son, Bongbong.

Rodrigo Duterte's Hand Reading

If I hadn't known that these were the hands of the President of the Philippines, Robert Duterte, I would never have guessed it.

The lower portion of this hand is dominant, the thumb high-set and closely held (near the palm), the second phalange of the thumb is thick, the quadrangle (space between the head and heart lines) is narrow, and the headline is average. The Jupiter (index) and Mercury (pinky) fingers are pointed, a fairly unusual sign in a successful politician. And the Mercury (pinky) finger is long as well. The mounts are mostly well developed, particularly the Mount of Moon, and the Jupiter (index) finger is bent. When read together these signs do not paint a pretty picture.

This hand shows a personality that is impulsive, and idealistic to an extreme, but one cannot help but wonder about the depth of these ideals. The ideals that the owner of this hand holds are not always practical and doable. So finally, it's all about talk. There is also a certain coldness
