Aminin natin na Marcos was really the BEST PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES. He had a great vision for us but those "rebels" who disguised as "democrats" TRIED TO CHANGE THE HISTORY. Its funny that all these years, Aquinos tried their best to relinquish all Marcos' projects and claimed them as theirs. BUT THEY CAN NEVER CHEAT THE REAL HISTORY. I was born in a wrong era but I would love to live in his administration. My parents told us how Marcos disciplined the Filipinos. We didn't know how to abuse our liberty at that time. Very many nations admire us for that. IGNORANCE IS NEVER BLISS.
"I would love to live in his administration" and "my parents told us..." clearly shows "IGNORANCE is never bliss" in your own words.
Marcos left us with trillions debt. There was even a joke before in 1986 that newly born baby need no patting. He just need to be told that he has 5k US dollars debt to pay and the baby wil cry.
Have you read the book THE CONJUGAL DICTATORSHIP? Try looking for it. Its about 2.8k at national bookstore. I hope it will help your ignorance.
1:04 What do you mean by "they can never change the real history"?! - the world knows what the Marcoses did to the country, they know of the corruption, abductions, the blatant abuse of power. Most esteemed historians consider him a despot. NOT ONE of today's world leaders (except maybe Kim Jong Un) would claim to even remotely "admire" the Marcoses.
Unless you're being tremendously sarcastic, then I suggest you look up what "Ignorance" really means.
Anon 1:04, huwag puro internet lang ang pinagkakaabalahan. Magbasa ka ng history books at memoirs ng Martial Law. Wag kang ignorante at nagpapauto sa mga nababasa sa internet.
1:104 AM Move to N Korea and I assure you that you will experience the Marcos era. If that is the kind of life that you want, you will be happy there. You got it all so wrong. The nations admired the Filipinos that fought the Marcos empire not the Marcoses and cronies that made the Philippines their own business.
mula pa kay aguinaldo hanggang kay noynoy lahat sila may nagawang mali. may desisyon siguro si marcos na mali katulad din siya ng iba natin presidente ang pagkakaiba lang nya eh mas mahaba ang term niya kaya mas madami siya nagawang mali but may nagawa naman din siya maganda sa bansa natin.
In Singapore, it is an open secret that Marcos greatly influenced the way LKY established modern Singapore. They were in fact goid friends. di totoong si KJU of n korea lang ang magaadmire kay f marcos if ever. MARCOS is a true leader.
Yeah my naiwang malaking utang ang marcos kc ung pnagawa ng nucelar power plant inutang un. Eh pinaalis at ng palitan ng cory ayun pinasara at d pna operare kc dangerous daw and all. Duh, eh ayaw lng tlga nila buksan kc naalala lng mung gano ka galing c marcos. So ayun d man lng npagkakitaan or nabawi ang na gastos at inutang pra lng sa nuclear power plant na yan.
2.16 ang babaw bakla ng reason mo para sa nuclear plant na yan. Safety purposes day. Tingnan mo ang japan nilindol ng 9 ayun di ba hangng ngayon may radiation pa din. Tskk ambabaw mo.
3:26 iha halos lahat ng mayyaman na bansa may nuclear power plant. One in a million naman iniisip mo na tulad ng japan blah blag. Politics kaya di nagamit ang nuclear powee plant. Power tripping ng sumunod na presidente. Yun na yun
7.55 clearly puro Macoy naiisip mo. Hindi mo alam sure yung sa pensylvania almost nuclear meltdown in 1979. Tapos nung I check yung Bataan power plant ang damingg defects at malapit sa fault line ang Pinatubo pa. Mas marami disadvantages kesa sa advantages Ni Macoy mo! Blah blah ka din.
Philippines wouldve been better if the resumed their reign. Look what all these protests got us into! Konting problema lang protest agad. During Apo's time, it was orderly, now it's a mess.
True! That is why Marcos always send Imelda abroad so she can charm her investment deals and economic/political relations meeting. I remember my history professor and my mom said that EVERY COUNTRIES WERE VERY INTERESTED WITH MARCOS AND SO IMELDA HAVE TO MEET THEM FIRST BEFORE MARCOS CAN MEET THEM. As a return, she was always receive a token of appreciation such as jewelries, shoes and luxurious souvenirs. YOU GUYS HAVE TO READ HER BOOK!
The decline in the economy all started when there are countless coup d'etat during Aquino regime. The Aquinos dont know how to run a country because they're used to listening to theur selfish advisers.
Wrong! The economy started to decline DURING Marcos' regime. Exchage rate of dollar to peso was 1:2 pag-upo nya as president. Slowly nag-decline in his 20-year term.
Wala siguro kayo alam sa mga na violate ang human rights nung panahon ni Macoy kasi baka di nyo pa naabutan. Bago magsalita na sana tinuloy na lang nila ang pamumuno eh isip isip muna. Baka marami sa atin ang di na pinanganak sa kasalukuyan.
Makakaliwa po ang sinasabi nyo, yung mga tao nagpapagulo sa gobyerno. Pero nagtagumpay naman sila diba? Napatalsik nila si marcos, ngayon ang tanong? Natapos ba yung sinasabi mo na human rights diba until now meron parin??? Sa ibang bansa nga eh, kulong at bitay pa ang ginagawa pag lumalabag kana sa bansa at may sinasabi kang hndi maganda sa bansa nila..
Yes un ung downside sa panahon ni marcos. The violations eh kc nmn umabuso ang mga nsa position and nag higpiy lng nmn c marcos dahil padami ang mga rebeldeng nasusulsolan ng mga gustong umopo sa pwesto. But u cant deny the fact na mas disiplinado ang mga pinoy that time. Ngayon oa sa pag express ng libersty. Konting galaw at mali puna agad. Reklamo agad akala mo anong na econtribute sa country. Eh kahit man lng simpleng paghihiwalay ng nabubulok na basura sa hndi nabubulok na basura d nga magawa ng tama ng simpleng mamamayan. Kung mga criticize sa mga leaders agad agad. Dsiplina ang kulang sa atin.
Nung panahon ni Marcos, kahit mahirap can affird bumili ng galunggong. Ipinagmalaki pa ni Cory na pinapunta raw nya abg kusinera nya sa palengke at nakakagulat daw ang presyo ng galunggong! Yun pala hindi pa nagtatagal ang panunungkulan nya, dumoble agad ang oresyo ng galunggong! Kaya galit na galit abg irdinaryongvmamanayan sa kanya at tinawag siyang mukhang galunggong! Ngayon, tingnan ninyo ang presyo ng galunggong, hindi na makayang bumili ng mahihirap! Kahit tuyo halos hindi sila makabili!
Alta na alta ang arrive ni madame! Fashionista talaga si madame ever since. One can wear at present the clothes she has worn in the photo & still would not look outdated. And I've seen old photos of hers when she was so much younger. madame was so very pretty then. Mas maganda pa siya noon kaysa sa maraming celebs, artista, & socialites ngayon.
Anon 12:15 I've read a book about her life. It's an old version of The Untold Story of Imelda Marcos. She is a Romualdez, pero her family is really poor. I think she tries to exude this aura of being "alta" para ma compensate yung humble beginnings nya. Try nyo basahin. Very interesting.
Wow ha! PHILIPPINES WOULD BETTER WITH MARCOS? kaloka! Search nyo nga TOP 10 MOST CORRUPT LEADERS...at saan ka pa...2 entry ng pinas.. at d pa talaga sila tapos hanggang ngayon nasa gobyerno parin lahi nila..
True. Either may amnesia mga tao ngayon or hindi fully aware about the Marcoses. They were too ambitious for their own good, used the people's money to make the Philippines "look" first world country when it isn't. What I'm trying to say is, they only cared about the appearance, the facade. The rest of the world acknowledged what they did was plain corruption. Madali lang kasi makalimot mhpga Filipinos.
It doesn't mean that when you're anti-Marcos, pro-Aquino ka. Both of them contributed to our status as a country but remember, Aquino inherited the problems of the Marcos regime
Boom! Madam na madam! Sexy but still undoubtedly classy. I saw her up close before mga early 90s when I was a kid, makinis talaga sya and kahit may edad na beauty pa din. Kaya lang none of her daughters matched her beauty.
Nakta ko na rin sya in person nung bata bata pa siya sa PICC! Na-mesmerized ako nung makita ko sa malapitan! Stunning ang beauty at ang kutis nagro-rosas! Mataas din ang height niya!
infairness sa picture mukang hindi luma ang ganda ng quality o naphotoshop na? maganda talaga si imelda, ncucurious ako bat ganyan ang napili niyang hairstyle. haha
I feel good that there are readers here who are aware of the atrocities of the Marcos reign/rule. Like most of you, I have seen Imelda when I was younger. I was in high school then. I was 13 yo then. She was a special guest in my school and all the girl scouts were on the front line of the garden path where she would be walking. Human cordon ang papel namin. I was a girl scout leader and saw her really up close. Nganga lang talaga ako sa beauty nya. Anyway, in my senior year in high school I had a classmate whose kin was a big shot in the biggest network at that time pero nasara during martial law. She regularly took us to that network on Fridays and I saw all the big stars then. At that time, most of the stars in that network came from one of the big film production that had queens of the movie industry. Both of them still alive today. One had done teleseryes the other more controversial. Anyway, that classmate entertained us and sometimes shocked us with stories/gossips of Marcos' "desires" for and "conquests" of the young stars of this film production company. One of them, mestiza and beautiful, has been rumored to have suffered a nervous breakdown and was confined in the basement of a hospital. I entered university at the time and height of all the anti Marcos protests and learned all his abuses, etc. Sabi ng iba, mas mabuti pa during Marcos time. Yeah, if you were middle class then siguro but as part of one of my courses during my university days, I have been to the impoverished areas during that time. The breadwinners worked in factories close to the area where they leave. They are earning pero grabe ang buhay nila, their dwelling places were made of cardboards. Kaya yung magsasabi na mas maganda ang buhay nung panahon ni Marcos never knew what it was like to be poor then.
i was @ edsa revolution graduating ako noon the whole univ gathered @ the grandstand walked from espana to edsa young as we are ,we knew 3 decades of dictatorship has to end monarchy should not rule marcos was on dialysis imelda was his brain nah democracy has to reign change has to occur .every anniversary of edsa i celebrate filipinos rebirth proud to be phil -am proud to be a tomasinong rn
For may years, yellow media tried to cover up everythig and blame marcos blah vblah. But with the help of social media, the truth is slowly comming out
8.10pm blah blah you are blinded by the truth. Kanina ka pa blah vlah. Clearly you were born after the martial law years. If you had uncles and an aunt who were unjustly picked up, shackled and never found then youll know how it is to be under the martial rule.
I was born after martial law but i've always wondered why my grandparents, parents and relatives would always say that life was so much better during the marcos era.
i was born nung 90s so I dont have any first hand experience of the Marcos admin. But my parents, aunts and lolas always tell us good stories abt him. From what I heard, I can say he's the best. Too bad, politics tainted our history.
hija you have to read phil history yourself obviously your family are not abreast with this ,how did you all pass social studies omgee ,be proactive you are a filipino katungkulan mong malaman ang iyong kasaysayan malay mo sa iyo magsisimula ang kaunlaran ng bayan you are born in the 90`s you should know these
Ma'am/sir, i gathered my facts- history, economics and geography. Not from the books alone. You may also talk to my law professors and reviewers. And yes, the kids of today need to be open-minded and should learn and not dwell on the negativities of the past. That's my opinion though..
Maraming utang kasi maraming proyekto na nilaan para magamit natin ngayun. Mga kalsada na dinadaanan mo araw araw sila naman nagsimula nyan.. mga infrastructure that hone the filipino talents and even tourists to attract them to visit us. Lahat ng imposible noon si marcos ang naging daan para maging posible ngayun.
It is funny how people claim may nadampot noon na harass or what but they cannot prove na it is Marcos LOL people then and now do things they do hindi dahil sa kung sino president. ANG POINT people like my mom who worked in the government mula nun hangang ngayon saw the difference. IT WOULD BE NICE FOR A TELL ALL MOVIE TO BE SHOWN. They were good friends before noynoy and marcos same frat pa nfa sa UP Many would agree that the vision of Marcos was amazing and cannot be completed in a lifetime. He is intelligent he helped in research,advancement,medicine and he made us look good all over the world. THAT IS THE WAY TO DO IT.So that we can get more investors royalties even Beatles went here Muhammad ali went here. WE WERE UP THERE. Totoo madami naghirap ngayon din madami pa mahirap.Lalong naghihirap pero sayang lang kasi ang fanda na kung nagtulong tulong lang talafa at walang fanid maayos sana tayo. Dati marcos kurakot daw kasi kinukuha nila lahat Panggawa ng lung center heart center malampaya fund etc Ngayon lahat halos ng pulitiko at maliit na official ginugulangan tyo wala namang nangyayari
Dami palang oldies na readers dito. hahahahaha. Anw, Imelda is a symbol of magnificence, then and now, while Ferdinand had been a symbol of stronghold leadership (dictatorship).
First Lady Imelda Marcos.. the face that launched The Philippines to the world. I don't think we can name any other First Lady who was as iconic as her. Just check out classic videos on how other countries would welcome & greet her with such high regard even without President Marcos with her in some of her visits.
President Marcos wanted the country to be independent from The US ngunit ayaw tayong pakawalan ng Amerika, kaya ayun nag.people power, which was actually US-orchestrated. Former IMF lawyers regarded President Marcos as 'the greatest lawyer that the world has ever known' bcos of the Gold thing na iniwan nya para sa atin. Nilagyan nya ng law yung mga gold bars na yun para hindi ma.access ng mga pasaway na banking cartel & institutions ng Amerika.
President Bush back in 2001, during the 911 tragedy was asked in a TV interview, 'Which is the richest country in the world?' And he answered '(with a smile) The Philippines. Marcos knew that.'
Infairness. Gwapo at Maganda.

ReplyDeleteFirst Lady Imelda Marcos.. the face that launched The Philippines to the world. I don't think we can name any other First Lady who was as iconic as her.

ReplyDeletePresident Marcos wanted the country to be independent from The US ngunit ayaw tayong pakawalan ng Amerika, kaya ayun nag.people power, which was actually US-orchestrated. Former IMF lawyers regarded President Marcos as 'the greatest lawyer that the world has ever known' bcos of the Gold thing na iniwan nya para sa atin. Nilagyan nya ng law yung mga gold bars na yun para hindi ma.access ng mga pasaway na banking cartel & institutions ng Amerika.
ReplyDeletePresident Bush back in 2001, during the 911 tragedy was asked in a TV interview, 'Which is the richest country in the world?' And he answered '(with a smile) The Philippines. Marcos knew that.'
