The Mystery of a Dictator's Missing $10 Billion Fortune

Almost 30 years ago, a U.S. court ruled that victims of human rights violations by the Ferdinand Marcos regime in the Philippines should be compensated.

Prince Julian Macleod Tallano of the Tallano Tagean clan frequented the Vatican. In 1934, under Pope Pius XII, the Vatican negotiated with a member of the Filipino Royal Family, the Christian Tallano clan in Maharlika. An agreement was reached that 640,000 metric tons of the Tallano gold would be lent to the Pope. This was part of that gold accumulated by the Southeast Asian Srivijayan/Madjapahit Empire during its glorious reign of 900 years.Having gained the trust and confidence of Fr. Diaz, the Tallano clan made him the main negotiator and trustee of their gold. Fr. Diaz, in turn, hired the services of Atty. Ferdinand E. Marcos, then a highly recommended brilliant young lawyer having attained notoriety when he successfully defended himself in the “Nalundasan Case” in 1939. The Tallano clan paid commission to Fr. Diaz and Atty. Marcos in gold, 30% from the principal of 640,000 metric tons. In 1949, the two richest men in the world were Fr. Jose Antonio Diaz and Atty. Ferdinand E. Marcos. Between the two of them they legitimately earned and owned192,000 metric tons of gold. Real reason to freeze funds. Instead of leaving it to his children. IT WAS MEANT TO BE LEFT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES!

All the documentaries about the Marcoses rule that I've seen so far including this did not even mention the next 5 presidents and their administrations (before Duterte) who brought the same things they complain about the Marcoses. Corys' government returned or gave power, water, telcos, and other government owned or controlled companies to their cronies. The Ramos government sold a lot of public land to oligarchs. These are just a few examples of those who came next, so you cant blame ordinary Filipino citizens to become disillusioned with these past leaders and how they ran the country. They saw what the Duterte administration has done and felt a sense of pride in that. And combine this with how the Marcoses are positively portrayed on social media, you now have a people who want to experience the "golden age" of Marcos rule, that is why Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte won the 2022 national elections.

However the more than 3 decades of Cory Aquino and her cohorts reign resulted to stagnation of economy and alleviation of peoples well beings worsened and the people gradually awakened and voted a Mayor from Davao Mindanao Rodrigo Duterte as President last 2016 who proved himself the competence better than his predecessors. And to disprove that the Filipino people had more than enough of the lies peddled by scrupolous historians about former President Marcos, in the May 9, 2022 national elections more than 31million Filipinos voted overwhelmingly for Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos jr. as the next successor of Pres Duterte.

I'm glad it did... Filipinos have short and confused memories. I don't think it'll matter however since social media is overrun by DDS trolls. Unfortunately, social media is where the majority of Filipinos get their information. Prove me wrong.

[@edleeortiz6221]

@@darosa5741 Philippine history has always been manipulated there is no middle ground. The educational system only or mostly talks about the EDSA People Revolution. Whenever a foreign country intervene sh*t happens (Like what happened in EDSA and now this again) and this is a modern day world most people had enough with fall promises its better to respect whatever our choice and belief is that why we have elections. It just why a foreign tackle this topic if they could've tackle this sooner.

I can't still fathom how a dictator's son who's trying to cover up all the atrocities his father and mother have done to the Filipino people is about to become the next president. I'm gonna move out of this country. All hope is lost.

Imelda Marcos (05/12/98): “We practically own everything in the Philippines.."

[@myskz325]

Can I just say how shocking it is to see those video clips? Of people out in the streets with their signs and their chants. In school, they only ever mentioned the regime, its brutality in photos. Of course, we were told of what the people did and how they fought back.....but to see it in motion like this...to see citizens walking the streets with the red side of the flag up...feels unreal? This was such an eye opener.

im not being rude but how was this the first time you've ever seen that?

It's just Manila..

[@jimmyneutron9876]

Pls open them more. These people were not ordinary folks who just suffered during Martial Law. Even Joma Sison was part of the 10 thousand claimants and actually received millions in compensation, for suffering while in detention for rising in arms to overthrow the govt. Hundreds of insurgents, cadres, activist leftist supporters were part of the 10 thousand claimants. Under Cory these rebels were freedom fighters. Soldiers and civilians actually died during their revolutionary struggle.

[@avreunluisyaro1133]

You don't know how frustrating it is to actually know that their family are on these high positions in the government. They don't even want to admit what they've plunder in this country. They wouldn't admit their ill gotten wealth that we are still trying to pay through our taxes. A lot people are being brainwashed and probably had some benefits through their connection to the Marcoses in order to propagate them more. It is indeed disappointing and out mostly embarrassing to elect the people who robbed the country, put shame on its name, and doesn't even feel sorry for it. I hope a lot of these credible source of information will go mainstream because Marcoses shouldn't be glorified or even be put to govern. They should be put on hold or banned for what they did to this country, so that this would not happen again.

The true mystery is in the accuracy of the figure. If it remains missing after 36 years with a full time commission going after it, how was it ever estimated in the first place?

[@jimmyneutron9876]

Means the estimate had no documented and validated basis. No mystery actually. Estimate which came out of a persecuting govt, relying on news clips from Inquirer, Phil Star.

BLACK PROPAGANDA against the Marcoses and I don’t believe in any of them. The Former President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos and the First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos were the couple who made the Philippines known to other countries/nation. The Best President ever who have shown so much care to our country and to the Filipino people. Very Patriotic.

[@petebngyn]

The comeback of the Marcoses is because the regime that replaced the dictatorship was not able to solve the problems of the country, poverty, corruption, insurgency, etc. They may have introduced democracy but people cannot eat democracy, most people would rather have a dictatorship if their lives will be improved like in Singapore.

[@joelclarence5880]

How can you say that the wealth is stolen from the government when the govt budget for 20years is just around 500billion pesos? Why the U.S court did not rule that the wealth is illegal and instead award compensation to alleged victims without even knowing them? Unexplained wealth does not automatically illegal.

[@ahmadshauki5612]

The amount stolen by the Marcoses is peanut compares to the amounts stolen by Prime Ministers of Malaysia.
