Filipinos need to make the distinction between state and church, the religious leaders need to keep out of politics, do you ever see the politicians try to be religious figures, no! If you are taking cues from a religious leader you are a failed nation up against many other countries that are trying to stay ahead of you also, meaning they choose leaders that are practical and do what they have too

Marcos made peace with the Muslims by befriending Libya's leader who funded the moros and used his money to build a golden mosque. He declared martial law because of Chinese communism being influence and to stop the spread. Ninoy Acquino was jailed and was suppose to be executed but it was not done for 10 years. When he had a heart attack Marco allowed him to live by sending him to America for a surgery. Marcos had something big for us until he was put out of power.

history repeated itself, Marcos rose to power and declared Martial law in the country because of corrupt politics and the radical muslims in the south. but after awhile he became the very problem that he tried to eradicate. He became abusive with his power and many suffered.

E ano ba ang nagawa ng mga presidents after marcos? Si marcos, may san juanico bridge, heart center, lrt, naia, nuclear power plant na kung inayos lng sana ni cory, d tayo namomoroblema sa taas ng gas ngayon. It's time to correct edsa people power mistake 25 years ago. 2% of the country's population do not represent the majority, ilokanos are even more than 2%. and they are marcos loyalists. What we have in phils now is not democracy but rather oligarchy.

looking at history the phillipines has decayed since 1935.... the road to perdition is now visible ( daan matuwid diretso sa bangin ) at present we are cliffhanging .....the reason is FILIPINOS are all INTELLIGENT.... our burning desire for freedom...keep us the slave of IGNORANCE....: > ) and reality is we are NOW merely slaves of foreign interest..: > )
