Things you need to know before idolizing marcos

nung panahon ni marcos, halos walang imported.
mas maraming atis, santol, melon, pakwan sa palengke kesa sa apple at orange.
mas maraming pabrika ng sapatos sa marikina dahil wala ka halos makitang nag susuot ng Nike.
mas maraming pabrika kasi walang gaanong imported.
lahat ng bawang, sibuyas, kamatis, bigas locally made.
lahat ng meat products at fish locally made.

in short, masigla ang halos lahat ng local industry.
may mga tiwaling pulis at opisyal ng gobyerno pero hindi sila ganon karami.

That was because the Philippines was not a member of any Free Trade Agreement yet. So the nation has limited access to the influx of foreign goods. It also has limited exports.

On the high earning exports, the Marcos government instituted a strangle hold approach. Re: sugar and coconut industries.

The police barged into our house one day because my grandpa, a radio announcer, said something harsh about the regime on air. Buti na lang he was one of the lucky few who returned home.

mali. walang imported kasi WALANG PAMBILI!

sick man of asia nga e. lahat ng nakapaligid sa pilipinas, mga bansa na bago panahon ni marcos e kinaiinggitan ang pilipinas dahil 2nd to japan lang tayo sa yaman, kakayahan at lakas, e nagsipag-lago ang ekonomiya pero ang pilipinas naiwan, naghirap. paano aangat ang pilipinas e lahat ng development funds dumadaan sa kamay ni marcos. nung una 10% lang, nung huli 20% na. di pa kasali dun ang kick back ng mga cronies at blue ladies. so kung ayaw maglagay e di walang project. walang project e di maiiwanan ka nga ng mga ibang bansa na todo ang development. korea, taiwan, singapore, malaysia, thailand, lahat sila inggit sa pinas nung 1950s. nung 1986 di hamak na mas maunlad sila kasi hindi kukurapkurap ang lider.

wala nga masyado tiwali sa rank and file, kasi pag nahuli ka kulong ka. walang trial, dadamputin ka na lang. e kasi ayaw ng master magnanakaw na may magnanakaw ng para sa kanya. gets?

read on marcos fans:

Economic history of the Philippines (1973?1986) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marcos era was clearly an example of how a centralized government can fail because of its insistence on protecting the interests of the few in power. Filipinos ultimately paid the price in bailing out large companies and literally paying for the debt from which only a handful of people benefited. The government overspent, even in times of positive economic growth, and failed to improve its local industries primarily geared towards exports on par with its borrowing. This is similar to the Mexican Crisis in the 1980s with the difference that the government failed to recover as well because of corruption, mismanagement, and also rising political instability that led to a shift in power in the EDSA People Power Revolution.

Never Again!!!

ngayon wala na si marcos, mas marami ang namamatay ng dahil sa hindi pagsangayon sa kagustuhan ng nasa gobyerno. magmula sa media hangang sa ordinaryong tao.
ngayon wala na si marcos, mas malaki ang utang ng pinas.
