Philippines - Unrepentant Imelda Marcos defends her own take on history

[JusticeForPinoys]

Marcoses was marred by massive authoritarian corruption, despotism, nepotism, political repression, and human rights violations. In 1983, his government was accused of being involved in the assassination of Benigno Aquino that led to a Revolution and his removal and eventual exile. It was later discovered that he and his wife Imelda had moved billions of dollars of embezzled public funds to the U.S, Switzerland, and other countries, as well as into alleged corporations during his 20 yrs in powe

@afsanadiamond What's dumb is calling a person dumb when you know nothing about Imelda Marcos. Listen to her, then after that, listen to yourself. Who's dumb now?

[zeppaify]

@afsanadiamond, but did you know that the United States &its allies such as France once also backed the young Gaddafi & also Saddam Hussein, you should actually learn history before you make lower than average comments, that inturn make you sound un knowledgable than someone born mentally with a handicap.Imelda herself has done more for the Philippine people than even the current president, Even the U.S.A. who created I phones & internet harbor them in Hawaii after their illegal ousting in 1986!

yea that bcoz you cum on a lotta Pinoy hard Dollars back then, so these poor people inherited all your shitted scumbag legacy, and not to mention the corrupt practice ingrained into the lifeblood of the nation, only a handful of families rule the wealth of the nation, what a joke!

kwawa ka naman kbayan.do u really belive dat marcos are the one who killed ninoy? f sila nga bakit dibinuksan ang kaso ulit, marcos is not a dictator.ang ginagawa nya is according to our constitution. mhirap kc sa filipino ayaw magpadisiplina,eh anu na pala nyo ngayon?lalong humirap ang buhay after EDSA 1. panu mo makamit ang pag unlad ng isang bansa if people are lack of discipline.ask urself nga baka isa ka duon.marami sa filpino mgaling lang sa satsatan at bantayan kilos ng iba

[ronnieamigo000]

marami nag sasabi na kayo raw ang nag papatay kay ninoy...dahil gusto nyo na kayo nalang ang maghari harian sa pilipinas.. parang kayo na ang maging dios.. kaya ayaw nyo ng bumaba sa pwesto.

[TheOmnipresent12]

God, what a perfectly awful woman. What's with that even more awful hair style?

[ishxnott]

@TheOmnipresent12 Have you looked at yourself at a mirror lately? Have you seen her young years? OMG another misinformed human being. You don't deserve a life.

[pinoyfutbol]

To All NON_FILIPINO, She did not do anything to you or your country.

I am Filipino,. I am a witness of her accomplishments. Projects from Tourism, Arts, Agriculture and Health -- infrastructures that is still being used even now. Hospitals where foreign medicine is researching. Promotion of arts and tourism. Revolution of Agriculture. Her achievements alone is even better than the Presidents who led after 1986 -- way better than the one currently leading this country - Aquino.

[pinoyfutbol]

To All NON-FILIPINO, DO NOT JUDGE HER..

To FILIPINOS, Imelda was not spending the people's money, but of her husbands...If you read the books,.Ferdinand Marcos was already rich even before he became president,. Yes, the Marcoses admitted they have gold bars from Yamashita treasure...it aint ill-gotten...

by the way, don't mind the shoes.,they were all made locally...hi-quality at price P150 - P300 at the time.,

mind Aquino's porsche,. can buy worth 40,000 shoes!!!!

[qwertyuiopz123]

@pinoyfutbol her spending was much worse than the shoes. you say she spent her husbands money but his main income was obviously from corruption

[pinoyfutbol]

@qwertyuiopz123 -- once again if you are not filipino, you have no right to judge her and her family...i will indulge you once...

i am not a Marcos loyalist but lemme tell you this -- i wanted the Marcoses pay for their plunder, i was young then. But now i realized Marcos was the best president the Phils. had.

I looked back on their cases, the Yellow Regimen cannot find anything to prove a case..many says Marcoses knows ow to hide their money. i say, they did find it, bt it wasnt the govt's.

[qwertyuiopz123]

@pinoyfutbol Yes I AM filipino but what does ethnicity have to do with history??? Just look at the fact that wasteful spending and poor leadership during and after the 2nd world war has made Philippines in debt today. If it wasnt for the Marcos reign, Philippines would be much more stable than the 3rd world country it is today. Gloria would be a great president but corruption is also evident. The Aquinos are not president material with exception to Benigno.

[pinoyfutbol]

@qwertyuiopz123 - during Marcos reign the Philippines was third richest in Asia...richest in Southeast Asia...The country after Marcos was led by an ignorant housewife and followed by even more selfish leaders - including PNoy..Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew came to the Philippines to ask advise from Ferdinand Marcos what he shud do to Singapore..imagine

seems majority of the filipinos didn't want that...they wanted to be what they are now -- poor faggots led by this useless yellow president...sigh

[pinoyfutbol]

@qwertyuiopz123 -- what the gov't found was gold...not cash, not bonds. The Phil. govt and it's treasury never had a record of having gold -- as many as they found...the reason why the gov't cannot claim it...

The case on Human Rights abuses is not even on Marcos' expense.. it is suppose to be by the Phil gov't...1thousand dollars per claimnant after 25 years of waiting..that's peanut..a token just to shut them up..,that's all they can come up with...

we are a nation of incompetent people for letting our want for freedom overtake our sense of direction. now, where has the freedom that we fought for more than 2 decades ago take us? are we better off without the best leader that we ever had? or are we worse than where we were when marcos ran things?

[TheeHun914]

IMELDA WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN FOR HER SHOES, BUT THE LOYALISTS OF THE COUNTRY THE TRUE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY WILL REMEMBER HE FOR TRYING TO MAKE THE SHOE INDUSTRY IN PHILIPPINES A SECITION OF WHAT FILIPINO HANDWORK IS ALL ABOUT, IF NOT FOR IMELDA BACK IN THE DAY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE NOT KNOWN THE SKILLS FILIPINOS HAD MAYBE

[TheeHun914]

BETTER THAN ITAILIAN SHOES, BUT THAT WAS EARLY YEARS TODAY SINCE SHE DOESNT HAVE THE SAME POWER AND POSITION ITS HARD FOR HER TO PROMOTE THE PHILIPPINES, THE PEOPLE & ITS CULTURE! WE KNOW CORY OR ANY OTHER LEADER COULDNT DO THAT AS GOOD AS SHE DID, SHE WAS LIKE OUR SHINNING STAR OR MICHEAL JACKSON SHE

[TheeHun914]

DEMANDED RESPECT AND GAVE IT BACK AND SHE COMMANDED ATTENTION AND SHE SEEKED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL ATTENTION IN RETURN. THANKS I TOO RESPECT THE MARCOS'S FOREVER AND EVER GLORY BE TO THE HIGHT AND BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES TO BE THE TRUE LOYLAIST OF THE COUNTRY !

[TheeHun914]

@cliklab YES I AGREE IMELDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A QUEEN, AND MARCOS THE KING THEY CERTAINLY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO IT FROM ALL THERE WEALTH, ITS EVEN FUNNY HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY STOLE MONEY FROM THE PHILIPPINES OR YET THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE. BUT WHEN U DO THE MATH WHAT MONEY WILL THEY STEAL FROM A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY &IF THEY STEAL FROM ALL THE COMMON FOLK WHO ARE 80% UNDER POVERTY THATS ALOT OF NICKEL &DIMES WONT ADD UP TO THEIR RICHES OF LEGALLY AQUIRED BUT THE MEDIA LOVES TO LIE ABOUT IT!

[TheeHun914]

@cliklab YES I AGREE WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE UNITED KINGDOM SINCE THEY ARE A GREAT ALLY TO UNITED STATE OF AMERICA, AND IF YOU GO TO CHINA HONG KONG IT THE BEST IT IS A WESTERN INFLUENCED CITY BY WAY OF THE EURUPEANS, AND WHEN MARCOS WAS PRESIDENT ANY ALLY OF THE U.S. THE ALLY OF THE PHILIPPINES, I LIKE MARCOS TIME WE ARE WELL RESPECTED AND A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH ESPECIALLY WITH U.S. MILITARY BASES "IN-COUNTRY" WITH MARCOS WE COULD HAVE BEEN A WELL CONTROLED, TRAINED AND ORGANIZED PLACE !

[cliklab]

Sparing her life when her palace was stormed is a huge fail! Her kids should have been chopped up and stir fried and fed to her fat ass.

After she finished eating her children they should have asked her which paintings she thought were most beautiful, then made her eat them. Instead, she was allowed to escape with an ass-load of gold and the country's treasury. She's surrounded by more armed personnel than anybody I've ever seen. You can't get a clear shot....one day, the bullet will find her.

[TheeHun914]

IT LOSES THEM, AND I ALSO LIKE HOW THAT FAT TARD OF LARD BABOY AQUINO DIED LIFELESSLY ON THE TARMAC OF THE AIRPORT THE BULLET WAS MUSIC TO MY EARS GOOD THAT GOD SENT CORY & THAT PEICE OF SHIT TO BURN IN HELL 4WHAT THEY DID TO THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE

[TheeHun914]

@cliklab YES I AGREE WE SHOULD HAVE CHOPPED UP ALL THE CHINESE PEOPLE IN PHILIPPINES BEFORE AND FED THEM TO SHARKS IN THE CHINESE OR HONG KONG BAY, ITS GOOD THE UNITED STATES GOVT AND AMERICA SUPPORT MARCOS FOR 21 YEARS BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOOD AND KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO PINAS WHEN

[TheeHun914]

@cliklab YES I AGREE WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES AND SUPPORT THE COUNTRIES AND LEADERS IT SUPPORTS SO THAT THOSE COUNTRIES WILL BECOME GREAT COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE TIME WHEN PIAS WAS RANKED NO.3 FROM 1965 TO MARCOS'S ILLEGA OUSTING IN EDSA86, SHIT CORY WASNT EVEN THE ONE WHO STARTED PPL PWR REVOLUTION HOW COULD SHE AS SHE WAS IN CEBU AT THE TIME THE CARDINAL STARTED TO TAKE TO THE STREETS WITH THE NUNS, ITS FUNNY HOW THE MEDIA TRICKED THE UNEDUCATED RICH, POOR, MIDDLE CLASS EVEN GRADUATES

[tisoy909]

Filipinos need another Marcos leadership, Filipinos need fear, because nothing else works, they will not give a shit about their country otherwise. its a fact 43 pesos to 1 dollar says so

[elenavlada]

@tisoy909 WHY DO U THINK FRANCE, UK, IRELAND USA ETC HAVE FLOURISHED??? BECAUSE THE GOVERMENT FEAR THE PEOPLE! , not because the people feared the goverment!

[zeppaify]

@tatoearashiga & genandro1, greetings to you both in Canada, The monies borrowed from the World Bank is all spent on Philippine Soil, for instance on just one project BNPP not to mention just the day to day costs of running the Philippines, What they forget to teach you the "Opposition" is that when Marcos spent money to build our infrastructure and govt. projects for modernization, it

[zeppaify]

was too be the era of major capatializm for Philippines as we were ranked no.3 in asia at the time keep in mind that alot of electic merchandise is made today in Singapore, Tiawan, China & S.Korea, before S.Korea is behind Pinas from 1965 Marcos 1st year in office until edsa86 Marcos illegal ousting and then soon after

[zeppaify]

S.korea surpass us ecnomically since we did nothing or we put a Nothing into power by way of Cory and her fake freedom with out direction leadiership or shall I say Media born Hype, Find out in your Canada how much it cost to build a Nuclear Power plant just even 1, and you can imagine that even with the WB

[zeppaify]

loans that you speak of even the Opposition speak of before I would have to say that the Marcos even use their own personal wealth to help build the projects necessary to modernize Philippines before so much as the BNPP, and also keep in mind that during Marcos time the military here in Pinas is one of the best in the

[zeppaify]

region infact we are the 1st nation in asia to recieve jet fighter planes even before the Japon, do you think jet fuel and maintaining jet fighter aircraft is cheep ask the canadian govt. how much it cost to fly 1 jet fighter, it takes alot of money before to keep Pinas going, today since we did not allow Marcos or the U.S. blueprint to

[zeppaify]

modernization to materialize becoz of the Aquinos greed for power we have large loans or debts, but it is not becoz Marcos fail the Philippines its becoz the Protestors and the Opposition and Communists would like you to believe modernizing a country and keeping it secure is Easy and Cheep work, when

[zeppaify]

infact it takes a Strict, Organized, and Smart Leader to keep it all together, Anyone will tell you anything especially if they are against Marcos, even Genandro's familia, Time has shown and time has gone, at 1 time the Marcos estate had over 1000 filed lawsuites that since Ferdiand passed Away Imelda had to go to

[zeppaify]

court room battles even abroad for example New York City for what they called the "Trail of the Century" she won that fight too, and those over 1000 plus lawsuites over the years over 900 of them have been thrown out of court Why? because of insufficent data or evidencia, Why? because as I have said, Many

[zeppaify]

have said lots and LOTS of bad things against the Marcos's especially during Cory's years in office where most of this stems, and she didnt do a god dam thing when she found out who was really behind her husbands assassination She did not go after Imelda What did Cory do? She did nothing to Imelda? but

[zeppaify]

she didnt say anything either that is why today they both are burning in hell together with her husband for what they did to our country and our people, you cant just say or use Slander against the Marcos's today because they have great lawyers to fight these types of cases now, before you can get away with it, but

[zeppaify]

now you dont hear it especailly from Reliable and Respecatble News agencies only Tabliods and comic books or bias or Opposition Communist writers, because if you dont have proof these respectable news agencies can be sued and SLANDER carries a penalty verdict by a Court Of Law so today these news

[zeppaify]

agencies think twice or 3 times before printing or sueing Imelda not like they rampantly did before. So even your family memebers can say what they want, but for me I wont believe that, Marcos is not a Hyped up Media Journalist turned Tarlac Senator, Marcos dawned the Philippine Army Uniform Just like Manny

[zeppaify]

Pacquiao, went to fight the Japon in WW2, proved his character and showed where his loyalty is so as does pacman, The People and no other President since Marcos has shown the vision and insight to making Philippines top in asia since 1965! By the way if you notice that the

[tatoearashiga]

IF it is her own money, what is the money the marcoses borrowed from the WORLD BANK for? Every single Filipinos have a debt because of that, even the filipinos that are not born yet. SHe can afford a 15 billion worth necklace but she only help few poor filipinos.

[zeppaify]

court rooms cannot sequester all of the Marcos accounts why? becuase if you can read the transcripts of court room cases you will see that by 1949 even before becoming a president Marcos is already depositing large sums of cash in Philippine banks he was already a millionaire before presidency in 1965, that is why it is 2011 and the Marcos are still rich becasue again the media fabricates and alleges many stories just to sell newspapers the truth doesnt sell, lies do!

@TheeHun914

Continuation....

It is the major function of democracy to be able to voice out your opinion to the any political leader if one does not like his/her ruling and say "STICK IT!!!" when they are not able to produce anything in their curent rulling. He is more likely comparable to the deposed leader of Libya Ghadafi...

[genandro1]

@TheeHun914

I am not a citizen of canada sweetie...and im very well versed in the history of the country(pinas) that i came from and how dare you compare Marcos to leaders around the globe. The impact of his actions was not a positive or did not result to other productive outcome, but instead it meant the loss of freedom of the citizenry.

She has no respect and completely doesn't care about the poor. What comes out of her mouth doesn't reflect her actions. Behavior reflects personality. She is not a humble or meek person.

[dllakaden]

I am not uneducated so that the Opposition or Communist rapist, criminals, traitors, terrorists or uneducated cannot fool me. Marcos was still the better of the whole bunch case closed !!

[dllakaden]

@NinoyAquinotv- Thanks for your great comments it will help me in my homework for my Report at escuela, before I read many good things about Marcos starting from the 1960's to 1970's and then he institute Martial Law and then this Aquino character wants to be president so he attack Marcos, but it is easy for B.Aquino to write false report or articles concering Marcos as he was a journalist and had many friends in the business, its true I guess the Aquinos change the minds of uneducated People!

[NINOYAQIUNOTV]

I am not a True Marcos supporter but over the years, it is clear that if we had followed The U.S. and Marcos we (the Philippines) and (Philippine People) would be in alot better position today in asia, Korea has more military bases today, Only During Marcos time did we have full support & U.S. military strong presense in Pinas, after the Communist Wife and Traitors of Enrile & Ramos the U.S. deemed us a unstable country,Aquino was a very good talker now I realize it, but Marcos was more sincere

[amoreden1]

@genandro1 Sorry, for all that bad information about Imelda actually if you look and read creditable data Marcos and Imelda put up many good things in Philippines hospitals and entertainment venues. She also spend her own money not the Philippine Money but her own wealth on the poor, & also Imelda and Marcos try to bridge the South and North Islands together by building bridges, infact you can say the Marcos are uniters unlike the Aquinos,Enrile & Ramos the traitors of the soil! Imelda is great

[genandro1]

@amoreden1

Really, based from the knowledge that has been passed down from my family when my grandparent was a political figure in the phillipines, I would disagree with you.

[zeppaify]

@amoreden1 Your right alot of peole did write alot of bad things pertaining to the Marcos family before &it was uncontrolled and was on the television all day long, as if it were being imbeded to our thinking or brainwashing, I didnt realize until college when I did my own research everything they tell people is ludicrous, they say Marcos put us in debt, but thats becasue he was modernizing Philippines the fruits of our labor had not been seen yet, but they try to trash everything Marcos did?

[TheALPH4]

How could the Filipino's let her back in the country?!?!?!?!? COME ON!!

[TheeHun914]

I knew it, the Marcos's are the only ones that can Bring us up all Pinoys together as a unity to rise in power and respect in Asia, but the only thing is they or Ferdinand Marcos rule with an Iron Fist he is after all the strong Man, but if we had stood by him we would have more buildings,monuments,museums,sp­ort athletes, olympians, cleaner streets more techonogy in business and a Stronger Military to be proud of, it was a waste what a few unexperienced college kids started in edsa86 our dwmfall

[genandro1]

@TheeHun914

that may be your opinion, but for the rest of the citizens of republic of the "pinas"....sorry but we value our FREEDOM More ok!!!....sorry but you can keep him in your dreams, masochistic groupie!...Dyos ko hindi po sya Si Ceasar, at the end of his turn the country faced one of the highest defecit a....and the debt he concurred did not even benefit the country so don't even try your line of reasoning because it has a very weak base.

@genandro1

si TheeHun914 at ameredon1 ay iisang tao lamang. marami pa yan spup accts at ang original username nya ay = dlacaden.

marcos fanatic yan. retinue nila yan sa mansyon sa batac.

[NINOYAQIUNOTV]

@genandro1, You are Wrong and TheeHun914 is correct why would you as a Canadain compare Ceasar to Marcos you should compare Marcos to a 20th century or other leaders,for example singapores leaders from 1960 to 1986, Malaysia & Indonesia's leaders during the same time period & also the S.Korean leaders mainly after 1986, when Marcos was ousted the U.S. & its allies like Canada support S.Korea more so it surpass Philippines they know how to follow instructions unlike the people who failed Marcos!

[dllakaden]

@TheeHun914, dont listen to that imposter dlakaden he is a Communist Sympathizer taking refuge in Sweden, a exiled conspirator with the Aquino political team, infact Benigno was conspiring with these traitors and NPA to over throw the Sworn in govt. of the Philippines before until Marcos found out, infact also Benigno's father was also arrested by the American & Philippine Forces before during World War 2 for being a spy for the Japon, the U.S. knows they can support Marcos for 21yrs not Aquino!

[dllakaden]

@dlakaden is impostering the real (dlacaden) a highly rated, respected and recognized commentor here on youtube. Many of the people attacking this commentor are PRO COMMUNISTS, Aquinos, Enrile & Ramos employees...Till this day Marcos is the only person that the U.S. govt has fully supported since 1965, any other leader that has followed cant even get the U.S. to help wit the Nuclear Power Plant to help Metro Manila, the u.s. will not help because they dont trust our leaders OnlY Marcos before!

[TheeHun914]

@chicco18 -

Marcos pound per pound is the best president of the Republica since 1965 ! before that there were many good ones also, but after Marcos there are questinable ones especially the current President, starting off with his propaganda made frm the media old pals of his fater who made a fake girlfriend and when the campaign was over conviently they broke up and now

[chicco18]

Which Philippine Government has not done any corruption or not committed major mistake? He who has no sin cast the first stone. The media keep on showing how Marcos has been bad because of their own hidden agenda. There a lot of good things that Marcos has done to the Philippines. NOT ALL FILIPINOS HATE MARCOS. I ADMIRE HIM.

[TheeHun914]

i hear she is running for politcs also, Nonoy is a gay homosexual single 50yr old who as a congressman never authored or pass 1 bill before becoming president what a big FAIL !

PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS AND FIRST LADY IMELDA MARCOS TANDEM WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE PHILIPPINES. The heart center, lung center, kidney center, upgrade of PGH, cultural center, film center, san juanico bridge, bataan power plant that cory stopped could have been very beneficial to the Filipinos, beautiful parks and playgrounds, etc...No other president in the history of our country had done these things for the Filipinos.

[md991free]

@MsMakahiya Is that a penthouse in Manhattan? where that video was taped.

I heard that she is back in the Philippine and doing well politically.

Even at her age, she's still beautiful.

[harley55100]

@MsMakahiya With the possible exception of Ramon Magsaysay. During his presidency, the Philippines was rated as among the most well-governed and least corrupted countries in Asia. Truly, the 1950's were the Golden Years of the Philippines, competing head to head with countries like Japan, China,.... economically. That all changed during the 1970's and 80's when Marcos was in charge. Now, the Philippines is rated as the MOST corrupt in Asia.

yes i hope Imelda becomes more power full and i like her, the media has proven to be wrong and i was fooled before during edsa86 and all the people power protesting, it was all media and bad press and chis mis journalism, i was young and a student at the time a kid training and learning i should have not went onto

I love the Marcoses. They are exceptional and grand. I hope people would understand in positive way rather than negative. I pity to those victims under his regime because they are the ones negative.

Philippines is still much better during Ferdinand Marcos time, it is quite evident that during there time in power not only was Philippines atop of asia ranked below japan and china respectively no.3 but after

[blueslayzler]

@dllakaden I'm so fuckin sick of people using that "philippines was at the top of asia during the marcos era" tripe. The philippines was AT THE TOP OF ASIA for decades, since the beginning of the century when the philippines came under American rule. During the Marcos years, their plundering and corruption led to the huge dept of the Philippines, by the 80's, DURING MARCOS RULE, we fell wayy behind Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and everything, LET IT REST

@blueslayzler

dllakaden is no other than dlacaden and he spoofs those who hold libertarian ideals here and those who are against corruption.

go see my video, that's dlacaden his REAL UGLY FACE.

dlacaden calls Ninoy Aquino a BABOY yet look at his belly, he has a belly bigger than a BALYENA'S.

hihihi

[dllakaden]

edsa86 now the no.3 country is South Korea, today we fall near the bottom with Vietnam, Not even the Marcos's could lay us this low, it is the decision of the uneducated and emotional filled propaganda Opposition viewers who sabataged what Marcos and the U.S. govt. are doing to rise Philippines before!!

[dllakaden]

It is AMAZING THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THE EVIL JOURNALIST FRIENDS OF BABOY AQUINO WROTE ABOUT THE MAROCS'S DURING THE 1980'S, IMELDA HAD TO FIGHT ALL THESE ERONOUS CHARGES EVEN TOO NEW YORK SHE WENT definetly read and question history as today Even Fabricated Lies and Accusations and Gossip and the constant Lawsuites that are filled just to get at the wealth of the Marcos had well before taking his first oath of office in 1965!!

as systematically also to blame for all the useless tabliod lies written about them, Until today 30 plus years after all the negative press and her conviction on the Media stage, but Lies and False and fabricated allegations dont hold up in a court of law and she walks free and has cleared the Marcos name contrary to all

[dllakaden]

ANTI-MARCOS ANTI-PHILIPPINES press that the Opposition Communists wrote about her and her husband....it just amazes me that people can believe all the garbage that was written about them to destroy the republic, the Marcos and ultimately the many poor in the country! Marcos Marcos Marcos Again!! 2016 get ready for real change !!

[Ti1nah]

I lived in the Philippines 1965 - 1974. It was quite evident

that any good things they may have done were for

the Marcoses own benefit. Their reign was a model

kleptocracy. The students, farmers etc.

demonstrated for a reason, not out of boredom.

And all the people that "disappeared" or were

killed. Try to read issues of Philippine Free Press

from that era. It will enlighten you!

It's amazing how fast people forget.

[rubien44]

we see things and learn how to face problems and all the accusations she had learn how to stand tall. FUN FEARLESS WOMAN is what we admire. GREAT STYLE, GRACEFULL CHARMING DIPLOMATIC MANNERS SHE HAS. THEY put PHILIPPINES on top. THAT WAS GREAT!

[AzureSD]

this is so interesting she's such a bizzare woman! She she's obviously got no problem with dealing with negative attention.

[gelskie123]

does imelda marcos look sane this this time? i guess she is not..sad to say

[12plherrera]

is this woman even the least bit sane?

[curacho69]

I salute you Imelda,

Imelda is a perfect shape of an ideal FILIPINA, smart and beautiful.

[Ti1nah]

@curacho69 Sarcasm surely, yes?

[Cataduanes]

@curacho69

Man that comment is an insult to the ideal Filipina, this was the woman who lived a life of luxury at the expense of the poor masses. A woman whose husband tenure in power oversaw the decline of the Filipino economy while hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were forced to immigrate to provide a better life for themselves.

I can only hope that Ti1nah assumption is correct and that your indeed being sarcastic.

[rubien44]

@Cataduanes WE ALL HAVE IMELDA IN US. she loves fashion and arts. she had the charm to win the attention of GREAT LEADERS. she was just doing her work. but i am poor but i have so many clothes. THEY HAVE DONE MANY GREAT THINGS. MARCOS WAS RICH before he marries her. SO STOP BLAMING.

[Cataduanes]

@rubien44

So are you saying Fashion and Arts rank higher than the welfare of the Filipino people? jesus man if that is the case your statement is shallow in the extreme.

As for the great things Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos achieved i wonder if you could list them for me; all i can remember is the looting of the national treasury, the cronyism and the cold blooded murder of political opponents..so please feel free to provide a list of these great things that i am missing out on.

[rubien44]

@Cataduanes no but you somehow i find it hard to believe that you cannot really recognize that they did great things. its all about the bad sides. no one will win in politics. ALL I AM SAYING IS THEY DID GREAT THINGS. no need to say the bad sides of every politicians accountable to failing the needs of others. THEY DID HELP.

[Cataduanes]

@rubien44

One more time i will ask you: Please do list these GREAT THINGS?

[eric5906]

@Cataduanes : agreed. Anyone who can speak one good thing about these criminals and liars should have their heads examined. They plundered the people's wealth and are not even the least bit sorry. After hearing Imelda speak, I'm convinced that she's mentally deluded.

[melvitzaldivarrogan]

@eric5906 pre baka ikaw ang mentally ill. not guilty na nga eh ano pa hinihirit mo, are you above the law? kaya walang mangyari sa pilipinas ngayon dahil sa mga taong gaya mo. mga bulag at bingi at nagtatangahan sa lahat ng nangyayari sa bansa natin ngayon! mula ng nalukluk kung sino sinong presidente satin after pres. Marcos nalukluk sa kahirapan ang bansa and now considered one of the poorest in SE asia! sayang talaga. mabuhay ang pilipinas! mabuhay kayo Mrs Marcos and the Marcos family!

[eric5906]

@melvitzaldivarrogan: need this translated in English. Can't understand Tagalog.

[dlakaden]

@eric5906

melvitz says unto you:

1. you are mentally ill bec the court already ruled "not guilty". hence the ?, are you above the law?

2. the reason why phils. is in this situation is bec of people like you: deaf, dumb/playing dumb to what's happening in our country at present.

3. all presidents who succeeded marcos did nothing but to further bring down the philippines in poverty.

4. such a lost! long live phils. long live mrs marcos and the marcos family.

[eric5906]

@dlakaden: I get the feeling I'm trying to talk to a guy who says 1+1=5 and really believes it. In other words, *you* are the one "mentally ill". I don't give two shits what the corrupt court ruled, the Marcos family were nothing more than a dictatorship propped up by the Americans. Imelda should be made to clean toilets, or work in a rice field and get off her fat ass. If you're ok with a dictator who steals you blind, then just admit it. Maybe some poor people could use all her shoes.

[dlakaden]

@eric5906

I HOPE YOU COMPREHENDED MY POST.

NOW TELL THAT TO melvitz WHO IS OBVIOUSLY A FOOTLICKER OF THE MARCOSES.

[dlakaden]

@melvitzaldivarrogan

YOU ARE THE MENTALLY ILL HERE BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET THE GIST OF IT ALL. MARCOS' AUTHORITARIAN REGIME IS JUST A PLOY TO PLUNDER THE COUNTRY'S COFFERS. FOR EVERY GOOD THING THEY DO THERE'S A CONCOMITANT GARGANTUAN CORRUPTION THAT THEY WERE PERPETRATING.

WHY YOUR COUNTRY IS POOR IS EXACTLY BECAUSE OF GREEDY POLITICIANS LIKE MARCOS, GLORIA AND ET CET.

[dlakaden]

@melvitzaldivarrogan

FOR YOUR INFORMATION LOLO, WHEN THE COURT SAYS "NOT GUILTY" THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT, THAT IS THE ACTUAL OR REAL TRUTH. WHY? BECAUSE ACTUAL/REAL TRUTH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ACHIEVED IN A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BECAUSE THE FINDINGS OF THE COURT WOULD DEPEND ON THE PRESENTED BEFORE IT.

HENCEFORTH, THE RULING THAT IMELDA IS "NOT GUILTY" IS JUST THE "LEGAL" TRUTH AND NOT THE "ACTUAL" TRUTH. OK. GETS MO NA?

[dlakaden]

@melvitzaldivarrogan

xx depend on the (sic) EVIDENCE...presented before it. xx

[ameredon1]

@melvitzaldivarrogan e talagang buhay na buhay ang mga marcos..dahil sa dami nilang ninakaw ...sarap ng buhay nila nakakainggit...

[MrManofsteel69]

@ameredon1 DON'T GET ENVY WITH THE DEVIL...

[ameredon1]

@MrManofsteel69 u r right dont get jealous with the devils ...like Marcos family...

[melvitzaldivarrogan]

@ameredon1 manigas ka nalang sa ingit talaga! ang bobo mo teng, ang hirap talagang magpaliwanag sa mga taong kagaya mo na mangmang! Marcos solid forever!

[ameredon1]

@melvitzaldivarrogan ikaw ang bobo ang pinag hirapan ng tatay mong pataygutom ay ninakaw ng mga marcos gago putang ina mo...

[rubien44]

@curacho69 you know what i totally agree. it's true what she said "even if you are poor you can make things around you and yourself to look beautiful." SHE IS VERY SMART and CHARMING. we have to in any work and jobs we have. her vision is sincere for her nation.
