There will be very few, if any, Marcos trolls who will bother watching a video in STRAIGHT English, considering probably only a few of them, if any, could understand or talk in straight English. That debunks a myth that the Philippines is "English-Speaking".

@Ztec 2020 the Aquino cronies are doing everything to tell the lies again to Filipinos. It should have been truth for all Filipinos after 34 years of repeated story telling. But what happened now? Filipinos does not believe in them anymore. Why??? because they do worse than what they are telling.
My parents grew up during in the Marcos-era Philippines. Even though we live in Australia now, they are still wary of having strong political opinions because they grew up in an era where it was dangerous to do so.
@Reuben Desmond well, if your words are true, why a lot of opposition still survives to this day? What, marcos only killed small time rallyist? Did he killed ninoy (or was it imelda)? What happened? Why they cant pin it to marcos?
he was kim jong un before kim was the dear leader in north korea. these dictators are classic men of power before the bigger bullies toss them out of power. Marcos is no different.
@Reuben Desmond no man. if you're against the Gov't probably youll end up dead man. Like NPA, terrorist and drug addicts. why scared? kung wala ka naman ginagawang masama.
It's quite unfortunate that some younger Filipinos don't grasp the full picture of Marcos's era since the corruption and human rights violations that happened at the time were taught in schools yet when they ask their parents/grandparents, they claim to have had a sense of nostalgia about the time. Not the case however with descendants of his critics at the time.
No no during Marcos regime all reforms were for the poor...The rich and Oligarchs were angry they lost their slaves and a part of their lands...The businessmen were angry because Marcos created Cooperative where everything cheap.. Oligarchs envy and angry to Imelda She had no time for socializing.she was with the poor ....and their problems ..
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."
@@michaelraro6378 it's the elected public servant's sworn duty to serve the public, and promote national pride e.g. athlete support we do not turn a blind eye to plunder, martial law atrocities and dictatorships, despite that. The politicians themselves remind us often enough of that during elections. They serve and owe you as the people and sovereign of the republic, you do not owe or serve them.
Thank you for this video. As a Filipino American curious about his identity and roots, understanding history in the Philippines is one way I've looked to do so. I have family who are staunch Marcos supporters. I had no idea about what took place in the Philippines during his reign, just a gut feeling that did not feel good that I wanted to investigate. It's been an enlightening journey, one that opens doors for conversations with those family members. Anyways, again, thank you for piecing it together and I will need to hear the other side to get a fuller picture. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
I visited the Philippines in 1976. Will never forget this experience. While taking a cab through the city, the cab driver was pointing out all of theses large buildings to me. He would point and say “And this is Mrs. Marcos’s building, and this is Mrs. Marcos’s building while pointing at thinks like the opera house. My response was to say nothing, knowing that dictatorships do not appreciate criticism.

The problem is that half of the potential voting public in the Philippines weren't even born during the Marcos dictatorship, don't know the history, and don't care to learn. Instead, they listen to those who revise history online and whitewash the martial law times. This is why Bongbong Marcos will be the next president in a month's time. The truth is that the Marcos family never completely lost their influence in the Philippines. Here am I, an Aussie living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife who as a young girl of 15 in 1980 was one of those "rebels in the south". Let's just say that those closest to me here hold no love for BBM and the rest of the Marcos family. Actually, even President Duterte will not endorse BBM. What does that say?
My grandfather was an attorney during this era and worked with the Philippines worker’s union. My grandfather was outspoken and publicly detested Marcos and this caused him to be jailed. Luckily he was released after a few weeks. After that, my grandfather lived a quiet life in the countryside .
jailed and release? being a lawyer for a workers union? meaning workers front of the CPP/NPA. Ask your grandfather how could he be released when it was then martial law. He detested(your chosen word) Marcos? what are those he detested against Marcos? Is it personal?
@@ezelfrancisco1349 released maybe they found him not violent. This just shows you it was okay to criticize the government only when you do violence that you might be imprisoned.
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.
It's crazy how everybody in my family wants BBM to win for Presidency and I just sit there listening knowing that if I argue with them they will tell me I'm still young to know politics smh.

Here we goo. I will never understand the reverence Marcos still has to this day to some fellow Pinoys. Regardless if you believe the economy really did "boom" or not during his administration, the fact that he attempted to stay in power and overturn the Philippine democracy is a major red flag on who he really is.

I think Marcos himself is quite generous to his friends. I think the die-hard Marcos loyalists we have now in the present are related or connected to these cronies who benefited (not necessarily monetary) from Marcos being their "patron".
i'm a martial law baby, may family are marcos loyalist and i grew up hearing this, "WATCH YOUR MOUTH, SOMEBODY MIGHT HEAR YOU" - and for me, this summarize martial law rule
Enrile who survived an ambush where I wasn't even alive, is still alive today at 98. His persistence to live became a meme here in the Philippines, ranging from photos with his favorite t-rex, brownie, planting the tree where eve got the apple, and being part of the three kings that gave gifts to baby jesus.
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.
@@cnycaq8768 But in 1988 book, “Waltzing with a Dictator,” New York Times reporter Raymond Bonner wrote that while Enrile’s wife, Cristina, said that God had saved her husband, “God had had nothing to do with it. Marcos and Enrile had staged the ‘ambush,’ as the final justification for martial law.” Inquirer and other international and local prominent News Companies that interviewed Enrile also published the identical response. 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.
@@carokann4244 I read that book too. You need to know who Cristina was other than being the wife of Enrile to put it in perspective, what was her impression of the Marcoses and their patriarch's administration for being kept in the dark coupled with Enrile's affair with women. She never said Marcos and Enrile staged a fake ambush in 1972 directly. Ask her, she still alive today. Haven't you wonder why Inquirer, a news outlet that has nothing good to say about the Marcoses ever since, quoted an anti-Marcos book instead of Cristina herself? Oh, don't include "other international and other local prominent news companies," it's only Inquirer that quoted that. You might quote the Lopezes too, the family who owns a corrupt anti-Marcos media network, ABS-CBN. LOL. Although, I couldn't agree more with you that Enrile as "balimbing."
Don't mind the dislikes and Marcos shills in the comments. They will probably try to report this video down since you have a lot of reach and they can't do anything about it.

We need more videos like this. The Marcoses spend 12 years making false videos spread across the internet. And they successfully manipulate the mind of the Filipinos. Now Marcos Jr. Is the president-elect of the Philippines.

@@emperorsblade2786 look up the events in the philippines during the Pnoy Aquino, son of Cory Aquino administration 1. SAF 44 Pnoy sent a hundreds of Special Action Force(something like US SWAT) into a rebel encampment to arrest an international terrorist and abandoning 44 of them to be massacred.(they were killed by beheading and headshots). 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.
@@emperorsblade2786 it means we know what happen during Marcos time and the Aquinos time Cory Aquino 1986 to 1992 and her son Benigno Pnoy Aquino 2010 to 2016

Guess you could say that a lot of Filipino nowadays defining trait is selfishness. Then again, I don't expect Filipinos to actually do proper research.
Since you have a story to tell about that era of our country then i will tell you one of mine. I have a family member killed during martial law even tho he was just a farmer and is not even very political as he was focus on trying to feed family. One night he was taken from his home and we still dont know what happened his body. Till this day my grandmother and her fellow family member still detest the marcoses.
An episode on Jose W. Diokno would be a fitting contrast against Marcos. Both were legal luminaries, bright politicians and eventually opponents during Martial Law -- with Diokno being the upright man. To perhaps establish his importance in our history, Diokno would later be coined as the "father of human rights in the Philippines"

@@trollslayer0073 Marcos was a staunch US Ally. What fantasy land do you live in if you think Marcos was threatening to the US? He was not. The reason the US didn't continue to back him was the contradiction of criticizing the human rights violations of US adversaries or others like China, Soviet Union, and North Korea while turning a blind eye in Taiwan, Indonesia, Argentina was becoming so stark that the US public was starting to get angry about it. See South Africa and South Korea for other examples of how US support for anti-communist dictatorship began to fade away in this exact same period.

The only difference is he (Macoy) held on to power too long.

it will be the end of the marcos' dynasty if they cannot deliver the 20 php./ kilo of rice. he campaigned to rescue the filipinos from hunger. the Filipinos are pretty gaullable, but once you betray your promise,, u r in great danger of being erased.let us give him a chance, but be prepared,.ier us hope he is not joking & that the VCM were not corrupted
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.
The first part of this is especially poignant. It is true, people look at the past with rose colored glasses and pain can be forgotten. Adults now, were just children when Marcos was in power and children never understand how bad it is. "The Good Old Days" were never as good as you think.
@DarkdaemonPK2 What does "better" mean? We certainly can say Marcos did worse with the destruction of ethics, morals and decency with his 20 years in power.

You can really see in what wavelength his followers are, mostly are driven by their emotions not rationality
Nope. That doesnt apply to me at all. Maybe Im Marcos supporter or not idk. But some people misses the bigger picture here is that moral ambiguity exist. And I still have my suspicions about the Aquinos legacy. Do you paint the Aquinos as heroes ??? One thing to note here is that before Martial Law there some rumors spreading around like wildfire sort of like inciting a riot.

Manila bay had plenty of rubbish and dead animal bodies floating in it. Don't forget the brownouts, only having electricity for 5 hours a day in metro Manila was a real nightmare. Traffic lights and enforcement were non existant. Corruption was much worse after Marcos how come people here forgot this?
I work with several people from the Philippines. They lived through the Marcos regime and think he and his wife are almost godlike. A majority of them grew up in dire financial conditions , often going hungry or underfed , but stand up for the Marcos and their looting of the National Treasury.

Tackling a biography on one of the 20th Century's Most infamous Dictators and yet there will be defenders and Histoian Revisionist and so forth makes my mind boggle and shock but considering countries like Uganda have people defending Idi Amin and even people defending people like Hiter and Mussolini it would be too tiring and demoralizing trying to argue.

You're right, it's exhausting to see the masses defend people who showed contempt and hostility to them. In truth, the villains you mentioned (Hitler etc) are only a small part of the problem. They never went out in person to commit atrocities, but had lots of people to do it for them, and much more people to accept and even support their actions. The problem isn't so much with the leadership, it's with the followership.
@@beno1129 It is both: if there is no leardership, there is no following, and vice versa. But ultimately, it's the dictators who almost always manufacture the problems in the first place, in order to fool the population that they are the solution.
@@lolilollolilol7773 That's true, but my point is that even in this day and age, with higher levels of education and access to information, many people still let themselves to be used by one faction or the other, rather than showing more independent thought and critical thinking.

Why would anyone even defend Hitler and Mussolini those guys were cult leaders Strange since most Historians differ from the Average news segment and they dive deep into history. I once saw a channel having a very different view on Marcos (foreign Channel) Not entirely Negative and Not entirely Positive Like "If he was given a chance to rule withou any oppositions then history would be very different" Though I doubt that.
@@deeperthantheabyss624 No, Marcos was a good leader, he was a stellar president and propelled the nation during his first two terms in office. The problem is his lust for power and how once he got it via martial law, the unprecedented political power he wielded corrupted him to his very core.
I'm a filipino and I can tell, even if I wasn't born in his term he was the worst person when he declared Martial Law. He is smart and wise but because he was drunk of power he became the villain.

Hey bro, please do the following next, please haha: 1. Jose P. Rizal 2. Andres Bonifacio 3. Carlos P. Romulo 4. Ramon Magsaysay 5. Manuel Quezon 6. Emilio Aguinaldo
I was born in the Philippines in 1975, but we moved to the States when I was 3. I have vague memories of hearing my parents talk about him and Imelda, when I was a bit older.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
Now his son is running for president next year. As someone who has many connections in the Philippines, I'm so curious to understand the Filipinos stance on the Marcos family. Some say he was good and times were easier, but others say he was brutal and corrupt. The way i see him is just another corrupt, wealthy politician that the Philippines is so used to. That's why I'm hoping my Filipino friends don't vote for his son, he'll be exact same as what the Filipinos have had for so long.
@@AccipiterSmith true Marcos may have been wrong on many levels but the Cory Admin were somewhat worse Who the heck would fire lethal rounds to quell a small group of protesters
The Cory Aquino admin experienced more than 6 coup attempts due to Marcos' influence, reestablishing and restructuring of the government , the massive burden of a crippled economy and national debt reaching maturity. It took years to remove Marcos' cronies clinging to power in the economy and the military. Even with all of that, she managed to stablize the nation's finances in just 6 years. She even managed to acquire several dozen military assets that we still use today like the, S-211 jets, the Commando armored vehicles (the media calls "tanke"), and MD-520 light attack helicopters.
@@octaviondeminicolas1941 Marcos cronies was already removed when Cory came to power, the economy during her administration went into a downward spiral as inflation rises even more worst than Marcos' and during '89 the minimum wage are low. And for the record, the Cory admin did not buy any military equipment or improve the military itself.
Juan Ponce Enrile must have been born when dinosaurs are still roaming around the earth. He's so immortal that he must have saw the recipe on Queen Elizabeth's immortality.
As a filipino who lives away from the country, the bootlicking of filipino voters makes me sick, a blind and deaf man can see that marcos was a horrible leader, yet they deify him and his family while being ignorant to the corruption that plagues the Phillipines
I am a 63 year old American married to a Filipina. ( photo is my wife). I have older Filipino in-laws who grew up working class and who swear by Marcos and that times were better then and deem any opposition views lies. The Marcos side and his opposition both relate such outrageous happenings that the truth is hard to come by. I've visited the Philippines many times and in 2009 even shared a plane ride with an older Filipino who told me he'd worked in the Marcos administration. He said that once after Marcos addressed his cabinet the President asked if anyone had questions and the man said he really believed Marcos was entertaining other people's input so he spoke up. "He fired me the next day," the man laughed. The man said that he was eventually re-hired. The man was almost 80 and told me to look out the window of the airplane at the lush green islands. He said, "We have one of the longest growing seasons on earth, we have so many educated people, we've had decades to improve, we were an emerging nation but now we are almost third world." He loved his country. Among my laments for the Philippines is that Marcos could have done so much for the country, he was a smart man, a mega-crook too, a dictator. The population was only about 34 million in in 1968. I thought of how much long term good all that $ that passed through his hands could have accomplished for the average Filipino back then. Marcos had a nuclear reactor built in the late 70's but it was never put into operation in a nation starving for reliable energy. Just the $ the U.S. was sending annually for having their military bases there could have been used so much better. Well, anything is better than pissing it away on fashion and vanity projects. Even now, the people tasked with recovering assets admit that many of Imelda's purchases (like NYC buildings) have appreciated in value but it's not even a wash when you contemplate her excesses.

I guess the Fhilipinoes believe their country was in such a miserable state that they have nostalgia for him and elected people like him such as Duterte and almost his son as VP. Similar to Brazil how their country recently went into a miserable state the nostalgia of the stability and economic prosperity of the dictatorship led them into electing Bolsonaro as president. Or I don't know maybe it's just me on my opinion.
Yep it's been a coin flip since the Roman times. You rule wisely either be fair or ruthless and prosper or you become a tyrant and make eventually everyone suffer.

The problem is that half of the potential voting public in the Philippines weren't even born during the Marcos dictatorship, don't know the history, and don't care to learn. Instead, they listen to those who revise history online and whitewash the martial law times. This is why Bongbong Marcos will be the next president in a month's time. The truth is that the Marcos family never completely lost their influence in the Philippines. Here am I, an Aussie living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife who as a young girl of 15 in 1980 was one of those "rebels in the south". Let's just say that those closest to me here hold no love for BBM and the rest of the Marcos family. Actually, even President Duterte will not endorse BBM. What does that say?

My grandfather was an attorney during this era and worked with the Philippines worker’s union. My grandfather was outspoken and publicly detested Marcos and this caused him to be jailed. Luckily he was released after a few weeks. After that, my grandfather lived a quiet life in the countryside .
Man, you’re lucky that your grandpa survived. One of the teachers in my old theater workshop had a relative that he hadn’t seen in decades.
jailed and release? being a lawyer for a workers union? meaning workers front of the CPP/NPA. Ask your grandfather how could he be released when it was then martial law. He detested(your chosen word) Marcos? what are those he detested against Marcos? Is it personal?

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.
It's crazy how everybody in my family wants BBM to win for Presidency and I just sit there listening knowing that if I argue with them they will tell me I'm still young to know politics smh.
it's you and your generations' future, not theirs. up to you if you want to fight for it or not.

My dad is bbm and my mom is leni they fought about it and my that was so sensitive about it that he kinda got mad at me
I don't like Marcos but I don't want leni as well
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."
Nice. I'm Filipino and I am disappointed with how much history rewriting is happening in my country.

Enrile who survived an ambush where I wasn't even alive, is still alive today at 98. His persistence to live became a meme here in the Philippines, ranging from photos with his favorite t-rex, brownie, planting the tree where eve got the apple, and being part of the three kings that gave gifts to baby jesus.
It was a fake ambush that he confessed.
It was a fake ambush. He confessed it 16 years after Martial Law
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.
@@cnycaq8768 But in 1988 book, “Waltzing with a Dictator,” New York Times reporter Raymond Bonner wrote that while Enrile’s wife, Cristina, said that God had saved her husband, “God had had nothing to do with it. Marcos and Enrile had staged the ‘ambush,’ as the final justification for martial law.”
Inquirer and other international and local prominent News Companies that interviewed Enrile also published the identical response.
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.
@@carokann4244 I read that book too. You need to know who Cristina was other than being the wife of Enrile to put it in perspective, what was her impression of the Marcoses and their patriarch's administration for being kept in the dark coupled with Enrile's affair with women. She never said Marcos and Enrile staged a fake ambush in 1972 directly. Ask her, she still alive today. Haven't you wonder why Inquirer, a news outlet that has nothing good to say about the Marcoses ever since, quoted an anti-Marcos book instead of Cristina herself? Oh, don't include "other international and other local prominent news companies," it's only Inquirer that quoted that. You might quote the Lopezes too, the family who owns a corrupt anti-Marcos media network, ABS-CBN. LOL. Although, I couldn't agree more with you that Enrile as "balimbing."

@@emperorsblade2786 look up the events in the philippines during the Pnoy Aquino, son of Cory Aquino administration
1. SAF 44 Pnoy sent a hundreds of Special Action Force(something like US SWAT) into a rebel encampment to arrest an international terrorist and abandoning 44 of them to be massacred.(they were killed by beheading and headshots). 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.

its a shame that late president cory aquino didn't continue the plans for Bataan Nuclear Power Plant that President Marcos requested for the sake of the economy of the Philippines thus he leave a word that without it the Philippines will be in huge economy downfall within 20 years which its true...

A lot of Filipino Marcos loyalists say "You only know your half of the truth."
Sometimes, that's all the truth there is.
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.
I assume he punged records for it to look good 🤔
Same. My grandparents lived in his time and said they feel protected. There were a lot of rallyist, activist, communists and NPA supporters who are disrupting the peace. Martial law was declared to protect Filipinos.

Sana. I hope he fail
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.
Amazing, couldn't put it better honestly
@DarkdaemonPK2 lol i dont think so as one from pangasinan
The first part of this is especially poignant. It is true, people look at the past with rose colored glasses and pain can be forgotten. Adults now, were just children when Marcos was in power and children never understand how bad it is. "The Good Old Days" were never as good as you think.
@DarkdaemonPK2 What does "better" mean? We certainly can say Marcos did worse with the destruction of ethics, morals and decency with his 20 years in power.

Tackling a biography on one of the 20th Century's Most infamous Dictators and yet there will be defenders and Histoian Revisionist and so forth makes my mind boggle and shock but considering countries like Uganda have people defending Idi Amin and even people defending people like Hiter and Mussolini it would be too tiring and demoralizing trying to argue. I am glad you are doing this biography to at least try to educate people the real truth on one of the most questionable leaders in the period.

You're right, it's exhausting to see the masses defend people who showed contempt and hostility to them. In truth, the villains you mentioned (Hitler etc) are only a small part of the problem. They never went out in person to commit atrocities, but had lots of people to do it for them, and much more people to accept and even support their actions. The problem isn't so much with the leadership, it's with the followership.

I was born in the Philippines in 1975, but we moved to the States when I was 3. I have vague memories of hearing my parents talk about him and Imelda, when I was a bit older.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@diosdadoapias that is because Cory Aquino told the Americans she wanted Marcos out of the country.
Now his son is running for president next year. As someone who has many connections in the Philippines, I'm so curious to understand the Filipinos stance on the Marcos family. Some say he was good and times were easier, but others say he was brutal and corrupt. The way i see him is just another corrupt, wealthy politician that the Philippines is so used to. That's why I'm hoping my Filipino friends don't vote for his son, he'll be exact same as what the Filipinos have had for so long.

It took years to remove Marcos' cronies clinging to power in the economy and the military. Even with all of that, she managed to stablize the nation's finances in just 6 years.

... and vote his son as the next President.
I am a 63 year old American married to a Filipina. ( photo is my wife). I have older Filipino in-laws who grew up working class and who swear by Marcos and that times were better then and deem any opposition views lies. The Marcos side and his opposition both relate such outrageous happenings that the truth is hard to come by. I've visited the Philippines many times and in 2009 even shared a plane ride with an older Filipino who told me he'd worked in the Marcos administration. He said that once after Marcos addressed his cabinet the President asked if anyone had questions and the man said he really believed Marcos was entertaining other people's input so he spoke up. "He fired me the next day," the man laughed. The man said that he was eventually re-hired. The man was almost 80 and told me to look out the window of the airplane at the lush green islands. He said, "We have one of the longest growing seasons on earth, we have so many educated people, we've had decades to improve, we were an emerging nation but now we are almost third world." He loved his country.
Among my laments for the Philippines is that Marcos could have done so much for the country, he was a smart man, a mega-crook too, a dictator. The population was only about 34 million in in 1968. I thought of how much long term good all that $ that passed through his hands could have accomplished for the average Filipino back then. Marcos had a nuclear reactor built in the late 70's but it was never put into operation in a nation starving for reliable energy. Just the $ the U.S. was sending annually for having their military bases there could have been used so much better. Well, anything is better than pissing it away on fashion and vanity projects. Even now, the people tasked with recovering assets admit that many of Imelda's purchases (like NYC buildings) have appreciated in value but it's not even a wash when you contemplate her excesses.

I am a Filipino and I say no to historical revisionism by the Marcoses, Dutertes, and their allies! Never forget! Never again!

It's refreshing to be here before the apologist trolls come rolling...
Never Again to the communist liberal party.

It's amazing that those who are not in the Philippines is much more knowledgeable about him than it's own citizens.
Damn right
The after-effects of widespread poverty and lack of history education is that historical revisionism can go rampant. Hell, there’s a new wave of propaganda floating around on RUclips, Facebook and TikTok. And somehow, these loyalists believe that better than various witnesses, historians, and confirmations both local and from several other countries.
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."
