Totoo na ba? Dutae is negotiating possible asylum in China? BWA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

So stipulated. Marcos Sr's status in the UP community, as well as the "unique" feature of his regime, allowed him to fully mine academic and professional talents, especially from UP. But my point was, even a one-term president with only 6 years has a big enough store of qualified candidates. Oh and unfortunately, Marcos Sr's cabinet and inner circle included (aside from Enrile-- a definite minus) Imelda Marcos, Fabian Ver, Cocoy Romualdez, Bejo Romualdez, Alita Martel, Danding Cojuanco, Lucio Tan, Herminio Disini, Roman Cruz, Benedicto, and others who somehow escaped justice and are either still living or died fabulously rich. That, according to many, was more than enough to offset the competence of his core cabinet men. With regard to the last point above, I'm a bit neutral. All the US-friendly dictators in Asia had to have a swarm of business cronies. Their job was basically to break the monopoly of the old rich, and foreign owners. The original Korean conglomerates (precursors of the likes of Hyundai, Samsung, and Daewoo) had as original directors relatives and cronies of Park Chung Hee. The large conglomerates in Singapore were all founded by cronies of Lee Kwan Yew. Indonesia under Soeharto is probably the worse in terms of cronyism.

Wrong, nitwit. The low inflation during Abnoy's time was due to a prolonged low interest rate regime by Tetangco of BSP (among other things.) For more than 6 years, BSP key rates were at 3%. It spiked to 7% only beginning 2018.

You mean you don't know or you're just asking me to substantiate? Not a very good way to discuss. You can just give a straight reply. Anyway, there's a 99% chance you won't read this but for Ramos, you have Delfin Lazaro who basically solved the power crisis in the early '90s. There's Dr. Juan Flavier who revitalized the country's vaccination program. There's Gen. Jose Almonte who's the best NSA the country ever had. Secretary of Finance was veteran banker Roberto De Ocampo. Foreign Affairs secretary was veteran politician Sen. Alberto Romulo. I don't know if this is a credit to Ramos but he formed the PACC headed by then VP Erap. At least, the PACC didn't do any wrongs at the same scale as those made by idiot bisayas Duterte and Dela Rosa.

Ramos' cabinet men were pretty good, as were those of Erap's.

Ano ba naman 'yan??? Disbarred na, mabibigyan pa din ng position? Buti pa yung matandantang Mackoy, at least kumukuha ng mga magagaling galing UP noon.

Bakit palaging talo? Simple lang. Sobrang daming bob0ng botante sa Pilipinas. Dati pa 'yan. Mga tanga na bumoto kay Mackoy noong 1969. Yung mga bumoto kay Miriam, Ramos, at Danding noon 1992. Mga bob0ng bumoto kay Erap noon 1998. Ano pa? Hindi nga ako makapaniwala na nanaalo noon 2010 si Abnoy, eh. Laking misteryo sa akin 'yon. Habang madaming mangmang na Ilocano at bisayang botante, ganyan ang mga magiging presidente natin.

And so, we're really back to the time of that son of a dog ferdinand sr,. and that stupid bisaya duterte, as student activists are arrested, some like the two below simply disappeared, without any charge or cause to arrest. The Government you voted for.

I imagine all dutertards and marcosians here to be cut from the same cloth as that dimwit rend0n labrad0r. That's the kind of guy you get to debate with here. Talk about pointless.

Growing? Manipulative media has always been there. It preys on the stupid segment of the voting population (also has always been there.) It gave rise to stupid elections for the likes of Marcos Sr, Erap, Duterte, and again Marcos.
