PNoy: Under Marcos, PH could have been another Libya
MANILA, Philippines - It was strike 2 against Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Saturday.

A day after President Benigno Aquino III took a swipe at Marcos Jr.'s comment on the country losing the chance of becoming "another Singapore", the current president said the country could have actually been "another Libya."

“We were far from becoming another Singapore. Were it not for EDSA, we probably could have become another Libya,” said Aquino during the People Power awarding ceremony in Malacañang Palace’s Ceremonial Hall.

Marcos Jr. made the "Singapore" comment days before the Philippines celebrated the 25th anniversary of EDSA 1, a peaceful people power that led to fate-changing events in the lives of two politicians: 20-year dictator Ferdinand Marcos was ousted while slain politician's housewife, Corazon Aquino, became the new leader of the country.

Now, these fathers' only sons and namesakes -- Marcos Jr. and Aquino III -- are comparing what countries to model what the Philippines could have become.

“With respect, I do not think we would have become another Singapore had we stayed the course with [former President Ferdinand] Marcos,” said Aquino.

He explained that during the martial law years, inequality worsened and freedom of expression was curtailed.

The president said it has become convenient for some circles to criticize the unfulfilled promises of EDSA People Power 1.

“Some have even dared to say that maybe one-man rule was not such a bad idea, never mind the oppression, and never mind the lack of liberties. By now, some say, we could already have become another Singapore. The 'some' is just one,” Aquino said, alluding to Sen. Marcos.

Sen. Marcos on Tuesday said the Philippines would have been like Singapore, one of Asia's Tiger economies, if the plans of his father pushed through. He said among these plans are massive industrialization and infrastructure development.

"The reason I said that is because I saw the plans. I knew what the government had planned to do. Had those plans been fulfilled, then we would have been equal, at least economically, with all the so-called Tiger economies," Sen. Marcos said.

Family of deposed dictator should be thankful that they are not still in exile or in jail. To enter politics is like revisiting the scene of a crime. Filipinos must have been sleepwalking to allow this to happen. It really doesn't make any sense to the rest of the world.

^^ did it ever occur to you bro, the saying... attack the wrong doing not the person?

that's what we're talking about here.

the ideas and the things that were suppose to be done by marcos.

not his family and *** life

[reptoid]

^^ It occurred to me bro that a person is responsible for his or her's actions. Being rich or having a certain family name should never make one exempt from justice. There are those who exploit the forgiving nature of the Filipino and it saddens me that the worst offenders are Filipino political clans who have prospered through misdeeds and seek to continue the family tradition. Besides which wrong-doing are you referring to? Take your pick... there were quite a few.

The words of Lee Kuan Yew in reference to Marcos are very enlightening. Particularly the parts about "an improbable story" (Marcos version of Aquino murder) & "Insignificant amounts of the loot have been recovered, yet his wife and children were allowed to return and engage in politics.”

It's funny how all this "forgiveness" or should I say immunity from justice only applies to the rich and influential.
