Marcos was the culprit hands down why the Philippines is in the state
it is in today due to his hands being in the cookie jar too often during
his reign as a dictator for 20 years.

BULLSHIZZ ! Was Marcos completely honest ? no but none of them are ! He at least tried to help the majority of Filipinos ! He built roads, dams, Art centers, schools, had the Philippines EXPORTING rice , the crime rate was a lot lower, terrorist were scared of him ! The gov INSISTED on trying him, he was tried in the usa AND WAS FOUND not guilty AFTER ALL THE FACTS CAME OUT and they still stole everything he had. After him the crooked presidents removed his name from everything he had built, stole the money for all the infrastructures he had started and had the money to complete.
