David Byrne & Fatboy Slim (Feat. Santigold) - "Please Don't"

[noerobbins24]

This video went viral on Kuala Lumpur

[jacquesgambl36]

Great.. I'm wondering where are the racist kind of responses.

[bearod55]

We want shoes!!!!

[illuminatedtiger]

What a bitch!

[yaerni]

long story short.. the marcoses and aquinos shudnt have been presidents of the philippines.. :)

[curacho69]

@yaerni Aquino should not be a President and Marcos deserved it. Marcos built most projects than all PRESIDENT COMBINED, and that's the fact, read history.

[yaerni]

@curacho69 Marcos killed parents, brothers, sisters, students, teachers, businessmen, than ALL THE PRESIDENTS COMBINED, and that's a fact, read history =)

[curacho69]

@yaerni Oh, that obviously not an HISTORY, it is clear to me you don't knew anything at all. All you've said were just an allegations and will always remained the same. See, you don't even knew what HISTORY MEANS. History are written facts not about OPINION.

[musepiper]

@rvggarcon I'm certain that this was part of the consideration behind why they chose the subject matter. Giving our opinions to random humans is part of our evolution.

[Smuchi7]

who's the lady ?!

[glamourous888]

@Smuchi7 First Lady IMELDA ROMUALDEZ MARCOS ( Imelda R. Marcos)

[papaosj89]

All the comments pro-marcos pro aquino etc. are history, I hope we could all just work our ass off to make our country better,,,, we the filipino's should not depend on our government for everything,, we should help the government and other private sectors in helping our country flourish, corruption can still be minimized,,,,there is still hope to bring back our glory.

[curacho69]

@papaosj89 The system of government must be correct first so the people could act better. Because the GOVERNMENT can changed people but people if not united will never make the government changed.

[papaosj89]

@curacho69 Fix your grammar please :-D, but anyway, good point! The system has to change! But now, who can we trust to facilitate the change in our corrupted system?

[curacho69]

@papaosj89 First of all I don't care about grammar. I am a Filipino ofcourse and I smell a very filipino inside yours, just like a typical OFW's who spoke English in the Television Interview, they felt like they just really good in English but you can strongly hear the ACCENT. LOL

[apaysys]

ISNT THAT NYC MAYOR ED KOCH????

[brotherhuggs]

Jovito Salonga Your a fucking shit....

[jbuencamino]

The Fact is that the Philippines was once a richest country in Asia. She did her job as First lady not like any other first lady. The shoes show how good she is in taking care of things. Comparing what the Philippines was and what it is now. I would say that its better off with the Marcoses than with the Aquinos and Cojuancos who are Vindictive and self centered.

[curacho69]

Get your facts straight, anybody can be accused of anything. Just like most tabloids told about them, they were criminals, but still there were no proven facts, all allegations towards them still remained still, ALLEGATIONS.

But I couldn't comprehend why most church leaders and journalists couldn't see the beautiful facts that were still visible to these days. Without them, Philippines were only got MALLS built.

[Babelfish112]

why Imelda Marcos???

[yaerni]

imeldific?.. worst Filipina ever.. 3000 pairs of shoes.. around 1500 bags.. and 1200 couture dresses..

[MsMakahiya]

Former President Cory Aquino is all about hypocrisy, She was the most hypocrite person I have ever known. She tolally misled the Filipinos of the depth of her deception during her presidency. these deceptions are all coming out in the open ang Filipinos are beginning to know her fro what she really is... a hypocrite.

[curacho69]

The golden days of Philippine Republic. How I wish to have experienced their legacy that most people of this days enjoyed.

[curacho69]

The story of Imelda is worth of my time than of Cory, honestly.

[curacho69]

@vanselm1 All about Imelda, CONSPIRACY. The Church leaders, Journalists, Businessmen, Rebels & Oppositions joined hands together to put down Marcoses. Up to this moment, many Filipinos remained loyal to Marcos but the Mediamen, Church, Business Sector still had the strong connections to government, thats why most written documents about Marcoses were NEGATIVES.

[rvggarcon]

@MAKATI2LA What does this have to do with David Byrne and Fatboy Slim? Why are people arguing over these things on here?

[musepiper]

@rvggarcon I'm certain that this was part of the consideration behind why they chose the subject matter. Giving our opinions to random humans is part of our evolution.

IMELDARELLA-AN OPERA by Francis Tanseco

Written by a Pinoy for the Filipino singing nation.

Dahil magaganda ang boses ng Pinoy!

Watch out for it!

[sharpeinthelab]

i like it

[Shverina]

I"m American-Filipino so I can't speak to what happened under Imelda. I'm sure it was unsavory. However, filipinos need to face it... we tear each other down. Whether it's Imelda or the cab driver who held my Mom at gun point when viisiting relatives. We don't support each other like other Asian countries... and in my humble opinion, that's caused more damage then Imelda ever could.

[curacho69]

@Shverina I can talk you more about Imelda if you wish.... just pm me on my accout... i can you the real stories about her.

[curacho69]

@Shverina Actually Imelda is a healer not a destroyer. I can tell you more facts about her, you can ask me. Those evil writings towards her and her family were all ALLEGATIONS.

[totaly92]

@Shverina thats so true... the problem is that their (our) culture is to influented by american, spanish, chinese etc. filipinos dont understand that they are filipinos, their (our) ideal is not philippine, its something else...lack of love to own country...i think

[WhoTheHellisKeith]

possibly the wealthiest dictators to ever exist. which is amazing since the country is so poor. oh wait - there might be a connection there.

[19zuzka94]

is anyone has the lyrics of this song?

[rubien44]

@19zuzka94 i did get the special album 37 dollars with 2 cds, one video cd of 5 songs. and a book that has all lyrics and explanation to all the quotes and phrases that imelda marcos has shared to some of her past interviews and comments which helped hugely to all the lyrics songs -with 21 songs. GREAT ALBUM---- 'HERE LIES LOVE"--- GENIUS i may say!

[mharkie21]

I want to fuck Imelda. and tell her how stupid she is bringing The Philippines to rubbish bins.

[rubien44]

@mharkie21 no its also the people who have put the philippines to the pit. I WONDER why some nations don't put interest to the country after them. IMELDA because of her diplomatic views and manners-stye and charm was the reason of ending the COLD WAR bet. US AND CHINA- that i would say HER GREATEST contribution to the world. PEACE! this is a great album by the way.

[mharkie21]

@rubien44 Imelda fascinates Love, Beauty and Harmony but she entirely forgot to consider Selfishness, Self-interest, Poverty, Extravagant and Corruption.

[rakerburn]

yes and there is still many journalist killings on Arroyos administration, MARCOSSES DID GOOD FAR BETTER!

[InMyHumbleSphere]

@rakerburn killing is never a good fair thing.

[wizardsoracle]

They put Philippines before in great position as rich asian country and thats a fact but we can't lie that marcoses had killed a lot of Filipinos who were against them... we dont need to kill someone just to be famous and rich.

[rubien44]

BRILLIANT MUSIC. i love IMELDA great style and charms

[tpjl25]

Imelda marcos more than likely called for the execution of Benito Aquino. Don't be so naive about the power and the evil of this horrible woman. Filipinos are known around the world of being so sweet and way too nice. She knew this and used it against her own people. There was a great interview last night on As It Happens on CBC Radio in Canada radio. Listen to part 3 of this podcast and start using your head.

Cheers.

[rubien44]

@tpjl25 just becuase she wants to look great- she has money and marcos. gold invested. way before they got married. THE CONJAUANCO are rich but marcos has inversted money so if she shop or not its their wealth not the peoples money. proven to this day that is why they can't prove they did take peoples money to shop.

[rubien44]

GRACE. SYTLE AND GREAT REPRESENTATION is very important IN ANY WAY IN BUSINESS. SHE HAS THE GREAT ART AND BEAUTY ONE CAN'T IGNORE. SHE is MAGICAL AND I KNOW SHE HAS A GREAT HEART TOO. " I AM GREEDY. GREEDY FOR ME IS GIVING" imelda marcos. SHE DID A LOT FOR THE ART AND CULTURES for the nation. GREAT ONE!

[helendqueen]

@rubien44 Grace, style great, magical?

ARE YOU DELUDED?

[rubien44]

@helendqueen NOt deluded...why? are u in denial that she is not? she has style- a fashion icon in the world of fashion, she has grace and strong charm and she used that for PR. she is infact magical as she can easily answer any qustions ask with wit and truth. she stood tall and she is A FUN FEALESS and everyone has imelda in us to splurge and want to look presentable. i am poor but you have no idea how many clothes i have. how much more a FIRST LADY who LOVES ARTS /FASHION?

[helendqueen]

@rubien44 look presentable off stolen money from hungry people? is smoky mountains in manila presentable?

you are a moron

[rubien44]

@helendqueen u are so one sided. all nations has poor parts. SHE DID PRESENT PHILLIPINES in GREAT DIPLOMATIC MANNERS to ALL GREAT LEADERS especially with her STYLE. she loves fashion. MARCOS WAS RICH before marrying her. NOW no one can put PHILIPPINES on top IN ASIA ever again. THEY DID GREAT THINGS!

[helendqueen]

@rubien44 ok, let's establish this, shall we:

- the Marcoses have got billions in Swiss banks

- Phils. is one of the poorest countries in Asia

- Imelda is a narcist with hundreds of shoes from money stolen from the govt.

And you, should go eat your bagoong and stop glorifying corruption!

[rubien44]

@helendqueen LOOK she loves shoes. any ordinary kids now a days has hundreds. beside she has to promote marikina shoes. and besides its out of their hands to be accused and so far even the world can't even justify really or bring back the money from swiss if there is any. i have a kidney problem so i stay away from too salty food.

[francistansecoDOTcom]

wwDOTimeldarellaDOTcom

[rakerburn]

she is cunning and has a very good diplomacy, your stupid tpjl25

[pbhoyet]

with the hell we Filipinos are in now, i would have preferred the abyss marcos time...

[fosnafolket]

i couldnt agree more pbhoyet...

[Catz1985]

Love how the video clips are high quality.

[tpjl25]

Keep your eyes on the poor. Amazing editting.

Imelda was, and will always. be remembered as THE kiki de puta.

Forever.

[rubien44]

@tpjl25 i am sorry but most filipino mentalities all about this and that. LET GO. MARCOS WAS VERY RICH way before. and WHATS WRONG ABOUT BEING STYLISH? to this day they cant even say they took all the money. THEY GAVE SO MUCH- PHILLIPINES was AT THE TOP THEN-beautifully represented WORLDWIDE because of MARCOS INTELLIGENCE and HER LOVE OF ARTS hello beauty is important in and out. she had both. .,

[mshanseat1]

By "humanizing" Imelda she is presented as likeable - although she really was greedy and corrupt and should be forgotten by now !!

[ewokleo]

David Byrne's music is genius~~~!

[Blueknightex]

Wow look at all her dresses. They are so elegant and very pinoy. Such a shame that her hushband spent some of the government money on the wrong things..=(

[rubien44]

@Blueknightex no- she loves style and marcos was very rich then. there is nothing wrong to look presentable in any forms when it comes to WORK JOBS and in everyday living...THEY PUT PHILIPPINES on TOP OF ASIA. great job

[Blueknightex]

Is this really the official music video? or just some clips from the past?

[marssnake]

The Marcos Administration, during the 1972-81 martial law period tripled the country's road network, doubled the electrification of the country's homes, increased irrigated cropland eight-fold, and achieved rice and corn self-sufficiency. Minimum daily wage rates tripled, although inflation, driven by international oil price hikes and exploding U.S. interest rates, more than wiped out these wage increases.

Since Marcos, nothing has been done. Nothing!

[curacho69]

We cannot blame if most Pinoy were calling Marcoses evil. Ninoy Aquino himself is a Journalist and a friend of Jaime Cardinal Sin. What do you expect?

Filipino mind mostly were still under controlled of Church and Television News.

When I was in Grade School, we are taught Marcos as evil, it keep asking me HOW.

I made my own research and I realized, Marcoses were not evil after all. They're LOVED still stood still and seen, research for Marcos accomplishments and projects so you may know.

[gorgeousdevil82]

@curacho69

i agree with yah..

i was born a decade after marcos declared martial law in the philippines and heard a lot of bad things about him. but i went deep down the story and learned he wasn't all that bad after all..

i like him better than those presidents after him

[Blueknightex]

@curacho69 - your right. Although my history lessons are blurry I do think that the Marcoses did some good things for our country. I think they just made some very big mistakes after doing those things which landed them a bad reputation.

[mshanseat1]

the music is great - but WHY glorifying a dictators wife who along with her husband robbed her country of millions .. ??

[neoblitzkrieg17]

@mshanseat1 ...obviously you lack knowledge about MARCOSES...what a shame....before uttering defaming words pls.make a research...

[Mrjojolennon]

i really like the songs in this album and its justifying what Imelda does before is ok too.

Nice work!

[tsorabe]

Ang mga candidato for President - OK Seguro ang intention nila . Pero ang mga

relatives and galamay puro Buwaya .. Sabi ng Presidente ...  bait ako pero kayo

na ang bahala sa baba .. dapat wala akong sabit .OK?. tulad ni GMA .. pero ang husband, anak, at galamay puro buwaya ... kickback dito, kickback doon .. Basta wala akung sabit . dinay ko iyan.. OK.. Pera padala ninyo sa secret account sa USA, sa Hongkong, Sa Switzerland. basta seguradohin ninyo wala akong sabit diyan

[StaRrySky]

at yan gloria na yan.. inapprove pa niya yung 3months time thingy sa trabaho.. parang ginagamit lang kayo parang toy.. kung after 3 months of working sa kanila.. tangal ka na sa trabaho. kawawa naman.. corrupt talaga ang pinas. dapat ibalik niyo yung rights niyo na walang tangalan kapag 3 months ka na sa trabaho. kaya nawawala kayong job.

[StaRrySky]

look at noynoy.. ang dami niya mga relatives nasa government. wala silang ginagawa.. hay naku.. kahit hindi corrupt is noynoy.. corrupt naman ang mga relatives niya sa government.. boohoo.. at kahit wala na si marcos.. marami parin mahirap at dumami pa.

[jayjose727]

wow.......taray ng lola mo. IMELDIFIC TALAGA!!!

[19580909]

Great video! One of the best montages of the Imeldific's life I've seen.

[ramfersean]

filipino history judged them and eventually the filipino people now see that they did something to the country as the philippines is no where to be found in the present global political arena

[erikmabry]

not really feelin it. glad to see santigold is still workin' though

[cyaknight2]

The Steel Butterfly!

[bleddingvideos]

Im suprised that a foreign artists were the first one to describe Imelda in this way.cooll

[blahster657]

good ol' deranged imelda marcos....never turning down a diplomatic trip overseas while her fellow country folk starved....

[helendqueen]

"Please don't let them look down on us"

Imelda Marcos should be hanged up her ass!!!

[Duquedecasitodo]

I can hardly wait for the musical. Move over, Evita!

[jersongocavite]

I like this video.

[claudineamorefolle]

[pinayc33]

very nice..a woman of a legend..she really brought philippines to the world to see...

[helendqueen]

@pinayc33 You are a desillusioned moron, my love. Legends are not thieves who buy thousands of shoes to show off while millions starve of malnutrition and poverty.

MABUHAY!!! WAKE UP, PHILIPPINES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!

[pinayc33]

very nice..a woman of a legend..she really brought philippines to the world to see...
