Ladies and Gentlemen, Pro and Anti Marcos!

Post your Praises and Vitriol here for both the Worst and Best, most Hated and Loved Philippine President ever!

 

To Start;

 

 

 

 

What's interesting about APO is that he is a very polarizing figure. Pansinin nyo sa poll ng best and worst president. He wins in both categories. Sa tenure nya nakaranas Pilipinas ng massive infrastructure, modernization, and self-sustainablility ng Pilipinas sa bigas. Pero sa kanya din nakaranas Pilipinas napakalaking utang at paglubog ng ekonomiya.

 

Ang problema dito, failure yung sumunod na gobyerno ayusin yung maraming problema ng bansa. Puro sisi ng lahat kay marcos imbes akuin ang responsibilidad ng paglutas sa problema. Pano, sila din kasi gusto din magnakaw. Gusto din makinabang pamilya at malalapit na kaibigan sa kapangyarihan at sa mga negosyo. Sila din, wala naman pakialam sa mga tao. Kaya hangang ngayon wala pa din totoong demokrasya bansa natin. So Yan ang isa sa pinakamalaking dahilan kung bakit unti unti nagbabago ihip ng hangin. Unti unti me mga nagtatanong ng "ganun ba kasama si APO?, o baka naman history is written by the victorious lang"?.

 

Siguro masasabi ko parang Joseph Stalin si Marcos. The whole world sees Stalin as a tyrant and one of the most evil men who ever existend. But remember under his rule, Russia became a superpower and became heavily industrialized. Even the Nazi's failed to invade Russia. To some Russians he is still considered as a hero. Sabi ko nga, kung di dahil kay Marcos, malamang marami pa din probinsya ang sa ngayon walang kuryente o Patubig. Marami sa mga ginawa nyang infrastructure to this day me pakinabang pa. Ngayon mga ginagawang kalsada ilang ulan lang bitak bitak na

 

 

This is getting to be the de facto comment thread, reminiscent to that on the "sexcapades" section. :lol: Anyway, I agree with ED. Haters can only post articles which they can't elaborate on. Since they could not elaborate on it, I did so myself. The fact of the matter is Marcos has never been convicted of anything and he won the 1986 elections fair and square, otherwise, Cory Aquino would have ordered a recount to legitimize her presidency.

The thing is there is no Marcos in the slammer. That article is a mere viewpoint by a Marcos-hater.

 

I agree with you sir Nathan. Raissa Robles has been a Marcos critic ever since. She's so blinded by the yellow media that she's very biased in everything she posts in her blog and on twitter.

 

I've been a convert from a Ninoy Aquino fan to a loyal Marcos follower. I've also done research after research and it only brings out more truth and convincing evidence that they're victims of massive propaganda by their enemies both in the Philippines and abroad especially the US c/o the CIA.

Building of infrastructures, the economy, the military, etc. are part and parcel of being a President. That is part of his job description. kung nagawa ng isang presidente na nakapagpatayo ng ganito at ganyan ay hindi dapat na maipagmalaki dahil trabaho nya yun at may pera naman mula sa buwis ng mga tao. kahit sinong college graduate, bigyan mo ng 1 trillion pesos na budget ay makapagpapatayo ng eskwelahan, tulay, daan at kung anu-ano pa.

 

Ang tanong na lang sa huli, kapag tapos na ang termino mo ay kung hindi ka nagnakaw.

Tama. Lalo na, DALAWAMPUNG (20!!!) taon humawak sa kapangyarihan. Natural may magagawa at magagawa ang presidenteng kumapit sa pwesto ng dalawampung taon. Common sense.

Most would've even believe that Marcos built most of our network of highways within a span of 2 years only. Even the documentary Batas Militar that's being shown every year to us as students tells that fact. In his 1st term, he has done a lot of things for the country than any President has done in their first terms that's why most Filipinos voted for him for the second time. He also instilled disciplined and nationhood within the country in trying to put the country on the world map.

Ang tanong eh ilang presidente ba ang makakatapat sa ginawa ni Marcos sa bawat termino niya? Tinanong ko yan para pares ang laban at hindi sasabihin dahil 20 taon siya na nasa pwesto. I believe I asked this on the "best president" thread and no Marcos-hating poster could answer this. 1965-1969, 1969-1972, 1972-1981, 1981-1986. Meron nga ba?

Ramon Magsaysay. Diosdado Macapagal. Wala akong bilib sa mga modern presidents. Sure may nagawa si Marcos pero it was not without damage. Over priced projects resulting in foreign debt that we are still CURRENTLY paying. So thank you Marcos at andami mong ginawang overpriced projects na hanggang ngayon ay binabayaran namin. Ambag naman sana sila sa pagbabayad at ang dami nilang binulsa at kinurakot.

Overpriced? Was there a case against Marcos or, perhaps, a paper trail that says it is overpriced? What is the benchmark for you to say that his projects were overpriced?

 

Obviously he controlled the "audit trail". Well the Bataan Nuclear power plant for one, was not built to spec. It was UNDER spec so the actual cost will be so much below the budgeted cost. Difference between budgeted cost and actual cost = kickbacks. The late Fr. Scmitt SJ from Ateneo once had a former student leading the construction of the BNP. That same former student was appalled with the under specification construction and was telling this to Fr. Schmitt. Nagsusumbong. Eventually that guy quit. So we ended up with a nuclear power plant that was not built to spec. Can you imagine lighting up such a thing? Boom!

There is no doubt that Marcos had many accomplishments. Our greatest mistakes is voting for someone lesser than Marcos after his regime.

During Martial Law, marami siyang nagawang projects, but he could've done better without Martial Law. Those era is the industrialization boom worldwide and we were left behind by our asian neighbors simply because we had no help from the private sectors. Many were afraid in investing and some are sequestered during Martial Law/.

Another issue is there are many lives lost and families destroyed during this time thats why there are still haters of Marcos. Ang hirap kasi sa iba is being so blinded to a person that you won't admit his mistakes and only his accomplishments. Yung iba pa kasi diyan kahit personal mo na nakita na nagnakaw o pumatay sasabihin pa rin niya convicted na ba siya? There are many criminals that are not convicted because of technicalities but that doesn't mean he did not commit those crimes. Marcos have many intelligent people around him to do a perfect crimes like he did without being proven to any court.

Agree. Marcos was a good president during his first time. The economy did grow under the early years of his watch. That is not in dispute.

 

But things changed during the second term onwards, for the worse. BNPP, Imelda's shopping sprees and extravagance. Fake medals as war hero. Martial Law and the abuses. Etc. etc.

 

So at the end of the day, does the bad outweigh the good? I would have to say Yes.
