Some deserved it of course but some did not.<br /><br />Second was that the economy tanked in the last few years of the Marcos regime including the last few years of martial law. You can see this in several statistics like the peso-dollar exchange rate and the foreign debt rate as well as the GDP growth rateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383321545489778875.post-73424726916971424612014-07-08T21:52:07.180+10:002014-07-08T21:52:07.180+10:00apparent you just had the idiotic feel of the mome...apparent you just had the idiotic feel of the moment urge to react based on your limited grasp of information.. manahimik ka na lang..

Those who blindly say that we're better off now are perhaps born rich or got to be reach after the Marcos Era.. <br />For those who may not agree or are too blind to accept it.. step out of your comfort zone and try and live the lives of the below middle class sector of society.. Let's not talk about our poorest sectors.. I dare you..

And the one thing they ALL agree on, was during Martial Law, the country was so much better off. People were more organized and disciplined that ever before.<br /><br />No one was living in fear the way the mind-control machines of the last 25+ years have led you to believe. As for the economy during PFEM's time? Yes, it had its ups-and-downs. But for the most part, was definitely 10 times better off than it is today.<br /><br />I also read a recent article where Alan Peter Cayetano claimed that Gloria, Estrada, and even Marcos was associated with the DAP in some way. Now if that isn't the single stupidest thing I have ever heard from these goofs who call themselves the leaders of the people. How could ANYONE prior to 2010 be even remotely associated with something that was the creation of Aquino and his best buddy, Abad.<br /><br />I could go on and on. But one thing is for sure. No leader prior (let alone after) President Marcos have ever achieved his level of infrastructure greatness. Worse even, is that fact that everyone (with the possibly exception of Gloria) since the '86 EDSA1 disaster, have done nothing for this country and its people, except dig it deeper into the poverty abyss. While making themselves richer at the same time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10569077934023142565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383321545489778875.post-29570720822217889092014-07-08T11:21:36.515+10:002014-07-08T11:21:36.515+10:00This is an idiotic and simplistic article.

Looking back at it this way and trying to convince others that all was for naught is another form of reverse brainwashing. There were a lot of factors that caused some setbacks during the intervening years such as global economics, entrenched patronage politics (brought about by Marial Law if I may add), not to mention the appearance of Megalomaniacs such as Gringo Honasa and Antonio Trillanes. There have been some gains and maybe you just refuse to see them. I still see it better than having the police and military possess a strong grip over our lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630570851133564577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383321545489778875.post-2832589015773230462014-07-08T11:20:08.970+10:002014-07-08T11:20:08.970+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630570851133564577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8383321545489778875.post-46552860250213869422014-07-08T10:56:23.968+10:002014-07-08T10:56:23.968+10:00To have been brainwashed as you claimed, you must ...To have been brainwashed as you claimed, you must have a weak will and the mind of an idiot. A real thinking person would know better than the Aquinos and the Marcoses alike. You see, actual nationwide progress is economic stability trickling down to the masses. There HASN'T been one Philippine leader who has done the impossible. Until the popular political names have been eliminated from the minds of the imbeciles passing themselves as voters, this country will not prosper.aionzhttp://www.teoti.comnoreply@blogger.com
