    Not necessarily, case in point THAILAND. I rest my case...Rise of Grace Poe

    Will also not work. You'll just give more power to the dynasties and come to think of it because of these dynasties we currently have a pseudo federalism.

    With all his atrocities against Filipino people, I really believed he's in the right path and had a great vision for the Philippines, at least in the early part of his regime...advanced during that time and could've been the best leader in Asia. But power corrupts. The rest is history.

    Marcos could've done what LKY did with Singapore if not better with all of our resources, and his visions at least for infrastructures are still relevant until today.... Yun mga extension ng SLEX and NLEX, that's his...which ginagawa na natin... Sayang talaga he had a foresight

    how could the system work in Thailand when their constitution was abrogated following a coup d'etat and they are ruled by a military junta? Supposedly, civilian authority is, at all times, supreme over the military. That postulate is etched in our constitution.

    LKY, 1965 then stepped down in 1990
    Marcos, 1965 then was forced to stepped down 1986

    SG is as small as Metro Manila only, manageable.

    sa tingin niyo ganun kadali mapaunlad ang Pilipinas by just a short time? nandiyan na ang CPP-NPA, MNLF, MILF, and Oligarchs. If natuloy lang sana yung mga projects ni Marcos, hindi ganito ang Pilipinas ngayon.

    Exactly my point. In the end they still resorted to military action to throw out their PM. Multiple occasions pa.

    So it's not as easy as I don't want you let's vote to removed you from position.

    Well, we will never know...that's the sad part. But with our vast resources compare to singapore's which has none it's highly possible.

    if she wins, baka maiikutan lang administration niya politically ng mga beteranong trapo. And if she allies herself with any of the trapos, well, that would be contrary to why people would vote for her in the first place.

    For VP maybe, then president in the next elections.
