My mom was a promising national athlete in Ilocos Norte. Not only did Pres Marcos recognise my mom's athletic prowess but acknowledged my mom's capability to progress as a woman, as a Filipina. He would exclusively invite my mom to the Malacanang Palace to ask her what career path she would like to take besides sports. He would ask my mom to sing "Lupang Hinirang" and ask her for an oral examination about "Panatang Makabayan" at his Presidential Office (checking if my mom knows these by heart). Mrs Marcos even remembered when she saw my mom in the wake of the late Executive Secretary Venus that my mom had full access to Pres Marcos' Office. Ironically, Mrs Marcos needed to ask permission first from the executive secretary to see her husband. My mom once said to Pres Marcos that she did not want to take law as attorneys are liars. Pres Marcos jokingly laughed and asked, "Do you mean I am one of them?". Then they laughed together. My mom knew Pres Marcos was true to his heart and that he wanted to help every Filipino. Pres Marcos offered my mom a scholarship so that she could take Law. My mom refused and took Education instead. Afterwards, she became an educator at the International School of Manila after graduating. He was a mentor and a coach to my mom. She always remembers what Pres Marcos told her, "Don't let people drag you down. If they perceive you as a bad person, don't get affected. Just move forward and focus on things that will help you succeed in life. Help your detractors if you see them suffer."

Unfortunately, corruption is still rampant in the Philippines. Even today, the Marcos clan has significant influence in spite of its history. The Philippines is effectively an oligarchy and the Marcos family is simply one of a few such families that dominate the political landscape. For ordinary people it doesn't really matter who is in charge since all they do is use their power to benefit themselves and their families at the expense of the Filipino people.

[@justinnamuco9096]

Those who don't really care shouldn't vote. I know voting is encouraged but it is also a necessary measure in response to a problem. If people cannot observe the problem to solve (e.g. poverty, economy, corruption, etc) then they dont understand the necessity to vote. Think of it like a company where so many owners voluntarily vote on the management. Those owners who don't really care about the company shouldn't vote.

The ambush of Enrile in 1972 was TRUE. SOURCE: The NY Times and Jaime Panesa, reporter for PNS, Philippine News Service in 1972. The fake ambush from a yellow narrative was Enrile's propaganda when he broke away from the Marcos leadership and joined the so-called people's revolt in 1986. He retracted it later on due to the fact that he no longer needed a propaganda for garnering support, and it already served its purpose, to protect himself and his group in staging a coup against Marcos using the EDSA people power. Enrile actually fooled the yellows/anti-Marcos into believing the fake ambush up until now.

Talagang Hari ng Balimbingan yang si Enrile. Eh ngayon bumabalimbing na naman ng suporta ni Bongbong Marcos kasi pangit na naman kalagayan niya sa gobyerno.😂 Fake or not that "ambush" added to the impression of "unmanageable" communists forces that led to the premature declaration of ML and to the extension in power of Marcoses.

She never said Marcos and Enrile staged a fake ambush in 1972 directly. Ask her, she still alive today.

He would ask my mom to sing "Lupang Hinirang" and ask her for an oral examination about "Panatang Makabayan" at his Presidential Office (checking if my mom knows these by heart). Mrs Marcos even remembered when she saw my mom in the wake of the late Executive Secretary Venus that my mom had full access to Pres Marcos' Office. Ironically, Mrs Marcos needed to ask permission first from the executive secretary to see her husband. My mom once said to Pres Marcos that she did not want to take law as attorneys are liars. Pres Marcos jokingly laughed and asked, "Do you mean I am one of them?". Then they laughed together. My mom knew Pres Marcos was true to his heart and that he wanted to help every Filipino. Pres Marcos offered my mom a scholarship so that she could take Law. My mom refused and took Education instead. Afterwards, she became an educator at the International School of Manila after graduating. He was a mentor and a coach to my mom. She always remembers what Pres Marcos told her, "Don't let people drag you down. If they perceive you as a bad person, don't get affected. Just move forward and focus on things that will help you succeed in life. Help your detractors if you see them suffer."

The national army was encamp nearby was not informed or sent in for over a day. Note: The Aquino Admin was negotiating with the rebels to grant them autonomy over their region and hundreds of millions in financial incentives. After the massacre, the Aquino government planned to continue that deal until the popular uproar over the massacre forced the government to put it on hold. President Aquino bypassed the regular chain of command to appoint a suspended of officer to run the operation from the capital. When the bodies were returned for burial. The President was on a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new car plant. SAF did kill the terrorist. When President Duterte, Aquinos successor, asked what happened to the 2,000,000 us dollar bounty. Aquino said he didnt know 2. President Pnoy Aquino's, son of Cory Aquino chosen candidate Mar Roxas for the 2016 presidential election getting recorded hinting that the administration that they would withhold sending aid to Super typhoon Yolanda struck areas that were Marcos supporters. The US army donated MREs for the devastated areas. The news said they were diverted by the Aquino administration to be sold to a major supermarket chain. 3. In order to support president Aquinos chosen cadidate. Their supporters instituted charges both in the legal courts and courts of public opinion. There were 6 candidates. 1. A sitting senator during the Aquino Admin was questioned with not being eligible to run because she was alegedly an American citizen but this charge only came out after she declared her intent to run and after she refused to join the Aquino party 2. President Duterte is alleged to have ordered mass execution during his political career as Mayor in the 1980s but those charges started when he publicly condemned the Aquino administration for the bungling of SAF 44 and mismanagement of relief efforts for supertyphoon Yolanda and after he decided to run for the presidency against the Aquinos What is not usually mentioned is Duterte spent most of his political career as an ally of the Aquino and no charges were mentioned against him until he decided to run against the Aquino's chosen. There is even allegation by the Aquino candidate that during the election that Davao city Duterte's hometown was crime ridden and dangerous that he could take the reporters to a drug den and buy drugs at any time. To counter Duterete just showed the press the award certificate he received from the Aquino admin signed by that candidate declaring Davao as the safest city in the Philippines. The other candidates also got the same treatment Now if the Aquinos do this for their former allies what do you think they could do to their enemy the Marcoses when they took power? One last thing, it is a rule that candidates must disclose how much they spent during campaign Duterte spent around 300 million pesos It is roughly how much almost all the other presidential candidates spent. The vice presidents about a third at around 100 million pesos. The Aguino administration candidate that beat Bongbong Marcos for the vice presidency, Lenny Robredo reportedly spent 300 million. Robredo was an unknown and gained national notice after her husband died in a helicopter crash. The Aquino administration candidate running against Duterte refused to disclose how much the administration spent on him. I am not saying Marcoses are perfect but the Pnoy Aquinos actions destroyed their familys legacy and painted the Marcoses in a more romantic light. The Aquino party whose traditional color was yellow we call dilawans are so tarnished their party rebranded around Lenny Robredo as Kakampinks. Pink allies.

I don't wanna go explaining everything but in a nutshell people remembered him here because life in the Philippines in present times becomes so hard as the our nation slowly fall into debts and many crisis. While this is happening people try to look back on the old time when the Philippines are still considered great or better. Just like how Americans look back and remembered living in the 50s ,60s, 70s, and 80s and dubbed it as America Greatest, Dreaming of making the country great again. Yet people overlook some problems during those times like the cold war, Vietnam, Gulf war, Racial prejudice, Poverty, and many others. Same as they overlook his obvious corruption and greed for power. To understand how some people here still support Marcos, you could compare it to how some southerners defended and Justified the Confederates today. They want to keep their legacy even though its obvious that they did something that is wrong.

[@mactheknife7049]

I recall Marcos' ouster fairly well. I remember vividly a detail that this video touched upon briefly but history has largely forgotten: Marcos decision to leave. It was made during a telephone call with U.S. Senator William Proxmire, who was serving as a sort of emissary for the Reagan Administration in the matter. During the call, Proxmire told Marcos "We're making you a one-time offer to get out of there with our help. It's good for 24 hours. After that? You're on your own, and good luck to you from there." Basically a Michael Corleone-like move, but fortunately it worked. It's sad, however, that before and since the Philippine people have had a penchant for both nepotism in government service and both autocracy and corruption in its leaders. All nations have it to a degree, but you'd think people wouldn't so routinely vote for the kids of past leaders, corrupt or otherwise.

Because the ouster of Marcos was already planned at the US. One American high ranking government wrote in his book that the ouster of Marcos is not a matter of how but when.

[@diosdadoapias]

@@mactheknife7049 no, you are wrong. The Americans already knows that there are fillers from the Philippine military about a possible take over of government---Enrile and his boys. The Americans wanted Marcos out because the termination of the lease of the American basis is nearing. Marcos when became president in 1965 shortened the lease of the America basis. He must be ousted so the American can use the next president to lengthen the lease but fortunately the Philippine senate did concur to end the lease of the American bases.

[@diosdadoapias]

@@mactheknife7049 what the americans did is they tricked Marcos saying they will let him go to Paoay, Ilocos Norte but they take him to Hawaii against his will or permission. Marcos wanted to go to his home at the north of Luzon to negotiate with putchers but the Americans took him to Hawaii.
