Not the case however with descendants of his critics at the time.

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."

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My suggestions on who should definitely have episodes are the following. 1. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican prosecutor who helped take down lucky Luciano, Dutch Schultz, who went on to become governor of New York greatly impacting and improving the state. He also went on to be the Republican presidential choice 2 times, one of the last truly influential liberal republicans. 2. Theodore Roosevelt III (or Jr.). son of Theodore Roosevelt who went on to be governor of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, fought valiantly in World war I and then led a rivalry with his distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt that was highly publicized. He also went on to have a military rivalry with George S. Patton in WW2 before storming D-Day with his men despite numerous health issues, storming the beaches on D-Day with nothing but a pistol and cane. 3. Al Smith, a mostly forgotten historical democrat from the early 1900s through the 1940s. he turned the Democrat "Machine" based out of Tammany hall in NYC into a beacon of efficiency and progressive's democrats during the Progressive era. He became governor of New York, ran for the Democratic presidential nomination multiple times. He was originally allies with but then started a rivalry with Franklin D. Roosevelt. they later reconciled. He was of Irish, Italian, and German heritage. His Catholic faith caused huge controversy when he ran for President. He had a rivalry with political star and son in law of Woodrow Wilson William Gibbs McAdoo. He was widely influential in building the Empire State Building, rallying national movement to end prohibition, and denounced the German Nazi government extremely early on. These are my suggestions. I really hope you use them as they would be great stories to tell and I'd love to see your channels take on them.

My Father was Working as an DILG officer in the Marcos Era, when martial law began, my father and his family seemed to be unaffected by martial law which made my dad pro-marcos but during the edsa revolution they went into a standstill because the new Cory Aquino administration might remove them from office but months after the cory aquino administration, he would go on and resign in office to be later absorbed by Coca-Cola to gradually be its Fleet Superintendent

@@itsfilipinoball8129 Must've been nice. My great grandfather was lieutenant colonel in the army when it happened. He retired before Martial law took place. He already knew what the Marcos game plan was but wanted no part of it. Upside is he died with a clean conscience and the family never took advantage of the power and benefits of having a high ranking military officer in the family during martial law.

@@skeleton_entertainment He sent people to post adverts all over Berlin asking for Jewish names and details disguised as a job recruitment. They received thousands of names and many of which were of educated Jews. However, Philippines was still under American control at that time and their immigration flock was limited. Manuel and his office tried to negotiate and successfully got a couple more immigration visa slots. They then brought in the Jews that luckily got in the final list, safe and far away from Germany.

My lolo is a CPA in COA during Marcos Era during his time it has been said that those corrupt must resign or be persecuted. Corrupted officials has fear unlike now. My lolo has 8 children to which one is my mother they all got into education regardless no fear of Martial law it made them feel safe. He also adores Marcos.

As a young Filipino who was not born on the Martial Era, i found this video informative and truthful in a sense because it accurately depicts the atrocities committed by the marcoses in an outsiders' perspective, no biasness involved just simple historic observations.
