FORMER president Fidel Ramos admitted on Friday that the presidents after the late Ferdinand Marcos, including himself, should be blamed for the country's problems, and not the 1986 People Power revolt that restored democracy.
"It's not the fault of EDSA. It's the fault of the leaders after the dictatorship," Ramos told reporters on the sidelines of the 19th anniversary of the first People Power uprising.
When asked to specify which leader he was referring to, Ramos said: "I'm referring to everybody. Pati ako i-examine nyo (Examine me too)."
"It's our fault because we did not take to heart the vision of our people," Ramos said.
As chief of the Philippine Constabulary in 1986, Ramos, with then defense minister Juan Ponce Enrile withdrew support from Marcos, triggering days of protests along the stretch of EDSA highway between the corners of Santolan and Ortigas Avenues.
Then housewife Corazon Aquino, whose husband ex-senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. was assassinated

April 1st, 2008 11:47 AM #3Balik muna nila yung mga binenta nilang ari-arian ng pilipinas…bago sila magsisi…. Palibhasa matanda na rin natakot baka magka colon cancer din….this is my personal opinion guys pero we can’t blame them – kahit sino maupo dyan natural na next to his immediate family talagang susulitin ang power for his friends and relatives…napaka ikli ata ng 6 yrs in office.

April 1st, 2008 05:24 PM #9May excuse naman siya. Di naman natapos yung term niya at di naman pera ng bayan nakuha niya. "Agent's fee" naman nakuha niya sa pagbili ng Belle Corp shares.

Iba culture nyo jan sa States.
You guys are taught to be accountable for your own actions...
When u guys screw up, u are told that there is no one to blame but yourselves... diba?
The buck stops here. that's the American way.
That's what makes an adult an adult. Right?

Dito, iba ang culture.
the buck never stops...

April 1st, 2008 10:30 PM #12its more like... so that the public would generalized the fault to all the president after marcos, not just one specific president...
but admit it after marcos except aquino, the 3 other hoarded a lot of pinoys money...
in rank, ramos, gloria, erap, then least comprising of about 1% is aquino to which i think is negligible...
