10 nice things to say about Marcos

[cebulifer]

The whole of PHilippines rests on the so called Ring of Fire...so maingon nato nga in general ang kinatibuk-an sa Pinas naa sa fault line. But until now wa man lagi mag linug sa Bataan. Wa man sad lagi ni crack ang na mothballed nga planta. But it doesn't matter. Ang atong gihusgutan ang idea man. Duna man gud giingon bro nga:

Great people talk about vision.
Average people talk about things.
Small people talk about other people.


No we are no longer paying. Naimpas na.

OT: the philippines is criss-crossed with fault lines.

Wa pa naglinug sa Bataan. But ning buto na ang pinatubo. Nag linug na pud sa baguio ug cabanatuan.

Marcos' concept of governance (yes even marital law) could potentially work in our favor and for the greater good of the country if applied responsibly. Unsaon man gud tao ra man gud atong ex-President and is not incorruptible to power.

Personally, I think he was a puppet of some sort. I don't think he is to blame for all. From what we know now, a president doesn't have ABSOLUTE power. For all we know, 1/4 ra ana ang iyaha. The rest sa cronies and even *cough* *cough* ang asawa.

yep, he was genius, tan-aw nako si imelda rai nagdala ug lawgaw ato tungod sa ambisyon....

i heard sa news nga ang Philippines kay gahi kaayo in terms of military defense, kahadlokan sa una tungod sa mga fighter planes mura ug lion sa asia pero karon, kung di tungod sa US, gikan sa lion mahimo tang kuting....^^

Mao bitaw tuhod sa US nga nindut kaayo tag mga fighter plane sa una. Bisan fuel para sa mga fighter plane sagot sa mga Amerikano. Mao na sauna ang mga F-5 pilot nato pirmi lang ug break sa sound barrier kay libre man ang JP-4. Pagwala sa free fuel, restricted to Mach 0.80 na lang.

We were an important ally in the region in the 60's and 70's because of the Vietnam War and the need to maintain bases here to counter Soviet and Chinese influence in the region. Paghuman sa Vietnam War, pagkawala sa Clark ug Subic, ug paghuman sa Cold War wala na tay freebies kaayo gikan sa US.

At some point the AFP under Marcos became configured for fighting insurgents and political dissidents, and imposing the iron hand of martial law. Not external defense. In other words, the AFP became a tool to oppress the citizenry, not defend them.

So the best thing I can say about Marcos now is that we got rid of him. I am not nostalgic for anything in the Marcos era because I know a lot of it were lies.

Though you have become the most-loathed leader in our times but I totally have so much respect for you.
Too bad I was way too young to shake your hand but meeting your son last Sinulog was enough for me to tell him how much you have done for our country. Too bad, you were just in a bad company of ruthless people.
