Things you need to know before idolizing marcos

[Monseratto]

If there is anything Marcos has achieved in his 20 yrs reign, he has built dams to address power & irrigation needs that no one in 28yrs none of his predecessor has ever thought of.

nice read. this should be read by post-EDSA One kids. the younger generation seems to blindly revere marcos as the best leader the country has ever produced. mukhang iboboto din nila ang mga apo ni apong pagdating ng panahon. never again.

Don't get me wrong. Please take what i've written objectively rather than subjectively. Just like you & the rest, i hated Marcos at the later part of his era so much so that i've braved the street demostrations from the 1978 noise barrage until EDSA. Let's not take the credit where credit is due, it does not mean i glorify him.

My point is, from time of Cory to the current president, does anyone of them ever thought of coming up with new dams to alleviate the power problems & irrigation ? The answer is none thus the power problem has been a cycle from 1986 until now. While FVR and some had come up with power barges as generators, at the end this made the power cost go sky high since their are either mostly owned by political supporters.

Yes, Marcos was corrupt as he & his cronies get's to have a commission or centralized corruption. But where are we now, corruption has even become a plague so much so that everyone takes part of the pie, from barangay captain , to municipal personnel to mayors, then congressman , then senators and in some cases to Malacanang.

Sometimes we have to use our brain rather than the heart, we have to rational rather than let our emotion over come the better of us.

It's hard to argue with close minded people. It's what they saw nung Marcos era and blinded by the means to get there.

"ok lang corrupt, basta may ginawang maganda"

What Marcos had during the 20 years was continuity. Imagine how many national projects were in the pipeline but would be affected by change on leadership. Every leadership change since Cory was to undo the previous administration legacy. The current term limits of one six year term is not enough to see any project to fruitation.... More like 5 years since the last year would be a lameduck.

Also not all dam project were Marcos'. San Roque was Ramos

Six years is too short for a good president and too long for a bad one. Mas maganda siguro parang US. Four-year term but with a chance for one re-election. Kung maganda gawa mo most likely you will get an eight-year mandate.

That's why the Philippines is a sinking ship.

if you are president and have the power of an entire country's resources behind you, you can not help but do something good during your term. this is a given.
but my complaint is, look around us and see what the other countries' leaders have done, in less than half the time our leaders had..
then we can weep.. or gnash our teeth..
i mean, we were beating these guys in basketball, years ago... the powers that be even built the ADB on our shores...
