For Your Information: Ferdinand Marcos's achievements, history etc.

[<SMILE>]

---

Marcos was also a very superstitious and paranoid, a trait he took after his grandmother Emerenciana Q. Edralin, who later passed on this trait to her daughter Josefa, and who in turn nurtured this in Marcos' upbringing. Lola Edralin once got a "prediction" from a local soothsayer claiming that one of her grandsons would become Philippine President someday.
Thus, when Ferdinand Marcos was born, Josefa named him after the famous architect of what is roughly now modern Spain, King Ferdinand, in order to prepare him for his destiny as Philippine President. He later cultivated this superstition by having with him an amulet, and sending several promising psychics to USSR to be schooled in occult. No doubt, these psychics formed a part of Marcos' advisory council.

interesado ko makabalo kabahin sa pagbayad sa na-utang sa nasod under Marcos regime. mura'g dako-dako man gyud tingali ni nga pagka-utang... dugay-dugay pa gyud ni ma-impas.

unsa'y mga pama-agi sa pagbayad aning utanga? bisan tingali ug ginagmay lang nga pagbayad, basta kanunay, magka-anam gyud tingali ug kagamay inig kadugayan.

sa akong mahinumduman, dako kaayo ug epekto sa economiya katong pag-doble sa dollar-peso exchange rate... kato ni nga si Erap ang presidente. from php26 = $1, nahimong php55 = $1 ang exchange rate ato. didto nako nabantayan nga mibuhagay ang pilipinas.

ambot if ma bayran pa ba na atong utang.

My grandparents were not a marcos fan pero maka compare pa jud sila sa sitwasyun karon ug sauna. Especially ng mga bati nga balita sa tv.
Ilang linya daun kay "lahi ra man mag lakaw2 sa dalan sauna. wa man manghilabot nimo" or "kadaghan bang libod suroy hilabtanon na ron oi, wa pa mani sa among panahon". Di kuno gubot ang Pilipinas. Maayo man daw ang panginabuhi nila sa una, labi na daw before martial law. Pila ra kuno ilang sweldo sa una as teachers. Pero napa human nila akong mga uncles, aunties ug mama sa college (6 sila kabuok managsuon). Barato ra daw mga palitunon sa una.

Nagubot ra daw pag sugod ug init ug maayo sa politica labi na daw ang kontra partido sa mga marcos ug katong pag try ug usab sa constitution.

Ang wa ra nila ganahi kay ang martial law di tungod kay estricto kaayo. istricto ra man daw to sa mga nay political ties. mao nag lagot sila sa martial law kay naa man gud ko uncle sa una apil sa Phil Constabulary, kusog mo salvage. wa jud sila ka uyon jud ato. Kay kung wa daw tagae ug gahom ni marcos ang militar wa jud unta kuno salvage2.

so maayo jud siguro sauna labi na before martial law.

^^ Does IMF and the WB practices loan sharking during those times,
if this is so Marcos with his brilliance should have anticipated it.
He does not have true intentions of prospering the country if that
was the case, he merely used the nation as a collateral so that he could
have that billions of dollars for his own keeping.
He cloaked everything it with photos of supposed achievements that was not
an achievement at all but a failure for it entails greater debts without any significant
modes of repayment/returns, brilliance at it's best I could say.
Such a political beast.

if that bataan nuclear plant was used, we'd not be complaining for a 24-hour airconditioner at home...

and i guess someone will bring up the Chernobyl/Fukushima meltdown now...
oh yes...2 meltdowns...out of hundreds still operating and the people enjoying a cheaper per/kw/h...

oh yeah...that was a marcos project....that NEVER launched....
probably protested by the same people protesting to "lower the price of oil/gas/etc"...
