Behind the Scenes

Grabe, nakapagmuni-muni lang ako na Philippines is getting hopeless. I feel very sad for that and when I look around, I see poverty and lack of discipline. These days, medyo nagiging politically active ako -- nakikialam na ako sa mga nangyayari sa politics (don't worry, di ako sasama sa mga rallies). I figured, during Marcos' time di ganito (siyempre, that was during his time). Pero kung nagpatuloy siya sa pagiging president, who knows, maybe Philippines is one of the most competitive countries these days. Yes, he bacame a dictator. But I felt he did what's best for our country. If democracy had not stepped in, anti-Marcoses would say, "We could be like North Korea;" pro-Marcoses would say, "We could be like Singapore." But I say, "We could be the Philippines" -- distinct from other countries, having its own special identity. Today, masyadong lugmok na ang Pilipinas. I think even si Marcos mahihirapan. We need two Marcoses! joke lang  I'm not saying we should have one of his relatives as our ruler, but rather, someone like him.

Malas lang talaga si Marcos. Birthday niya pala 9/11, same with the terrorist attack in NY.  Something's fishy about that date. (Just kidding to the birthday celebrants of this date). Pero kung may kakilala kayong may birthday na ganito, pakimasid nga kung malas talaga siya.

Ang dami ko talagang natututunan sa What's Happening sa Teentalk. :D Interacting with other people is healthy! ;D

I'm a pro-Marcos because:
-yun na talaga yung nakalakhan ko
-I have roots from Leyte, the province of Imelda, so medyo may pagka-bias na ako dito kasi ang daming improvements ang nagawa dun (e.g. San Juanico Bridge, People's Center)
- He  established the kidney center, lung center, heart center, *insert organ here* center...
-He's so smart that he could  defend himself in court and win
-He drove Imelda crazy -- literally. He  assigned her to read ultra-thick books and make a summary / explanation about it for a short time. Siyempre, sumunod naman si Imelda, kaya muntikan na siyang matuluyan. He did this because Imelda is his wife. He wants a wife that could  also be called his better half.

My defense against the accusations:
-he's not the one who ordered to kill Ninoy. Neither did Imelda. When Imelda warned him not to go back to the Philippines, the Marcoses meant that in a good way (not a threatening manner). They were concerned about him because they already suspected that somebody have evil motives.
-possible suspects (based from collected sources): Ramos (it was all part of his plan to become president) or the CIA (they were afraid that if Marcos continued as the president, Philippines will overlay the US)

The bitter truth:
-Today, establishments/ projects done by Marcos, especially the ones that need improvements are ignored. "Just because" it was done by him. (e.g. Tacloban Airport, Asian Institute of Tourism -- college ko)
-Projects that are still used even up to now are snatched by other green-eyed politicians. (e.g. C-5, claimed by Ramos)
-GMA is often compared to him. Now, wtf, she doesn't even stand a chance to be compared with him.
-In school, students are brought up to hate him -- his dictatorship and martial law. I don't even remember discussing some of Marcos' good points during his reign (or hindi lang ako nakikinig nun).
-Bakit ayaw siyang ilibing sa Libingan ng mga Bayani? Why do people always focus on the bad side of things?


So, here's a challenge: Let it be one day that people will be prohibited to use the establishments/ projects started by Marcos para naman ma-appreciate natin siya kahit konti.


My apologies:
-I didn't experience his reign so maybe I'm the one who's in the wrong here.
-using bad words in my post (haha! pang emphasize lang yun ng feeling)


*I'm not anti to anyone. I'm just a pro-Marcos. So, the names I mentioned here doesn't necessarily mean that I'm attacking them. :D
