Are Filipinos looking for another Ferdinand Marcos to rule the country?

I would probably like a Marcos who can lead the country with an iron hand and brilliant to make Philippines ahead of it's counterparts in terms of economy, education and so on.., minus the greed and corruption that ended with people unsatisfied and the constant need to eliminate his protesters..

we need a hybrid...
marcos' brilliancy, imelda's charisma, ninoy's patriotism & cory's values - that's all we need.

True but maybe, not the majority as of this time. We want someone that can rulle with a "very strong will power and determination". One who is not corrupt. Someone that will not be eaten by the 'system'. Very hard to find but still hopeful.

I have this deep hatred of the Marcos family for confiscating my grandparent's land in Cavite.
I feel disgusted whenever I see images of Ferdinand and his butt-ugly rotting corpse of a wife Imelda on TV and in the papers.
I pity the people who wish they still ruled the Philippines.

People admire him for having the ability to get things done... this is something I can never quite comprehend. How hard it is to make people do something when you've got a gun pointed at their heads?

And what about those mindless sheep that keep bragging about how much he has done during his presidency? Ignorant fools. Marcos ruled the Philippines in a dictatorship fashion, had the military by the balls and treated the country's funds as if it was his own piggy bank... of course this would leave some kind of mark on the country's infrastructure after he left. After two decades, how much did people expect him to accomplish?

Although the presidents after Marcos were all corrupt as well, they would be like cookie jar stealing toddlers compared to the Marcos family.

Hell no. Enough of such fooliticos...
Another FM maybe will give us another Imeldefic....the goddess and queen of shoes...and other ill-gotten wealth...

Yes, Ferdinand Marcos was and is great... but i doubt another Marcos can evolve in this country as we have been exhausting the word "FREEDOM" and i don't think there are signs of mellowing it down... Gloria is in power, and a lot has been trying to bring her down. A lot of warnings and cautions has been sent to her but she is invincible, as of the moment. But the moment she has controversies as grave as Erap's, she will surely be forced to step down...

Ferdinand Marcos will not have another chance in this country... I don't think so...

I represent possibility- Shawn

well they might be.

maybe because he was such a brilliant man but people are saying that the one making the decision was Imelda. He can be a good leader because of his brilliant mind but being a dictator was a very sad thing. you don't want to hurt your people again. hmmppp.

Maybe Ferdi will do but there again Imelda will be included in the scene...wag nalang kaya!!!

Juan C

yes... a Marcos without Imelda...

From the conversations I have had with my Filipino friends.....They have no illusions about Marcos being a "nice" guy....... what they miss is his ability to get things done.
Many are frustrated trying to bring about positive change through existing channels. It is almost impossible to bring about change when those that have the "power".....do not want that change.

Even when you elect a "Prince" ; he / she goes to Manila and changes into a frog.....and no amount of kissing will change them back.

No. As a matter of fact, Sub Rosa operations are now going on to locate the clones from South America, clones of this guy who died a bitter death in his Bunker in Germany, when flags bearing the Swastika waved tattered and torn from Allied bombardment of Berlin. "Sieg Heil!!" Hahahahaha!!

annabelle p

No, thanks. One dictator is enough to last me a lifetime. Never again.

Trasher

yea i heard that other day from someone saying how he cared for his people, im sure someone elected can care and better if they wanna stay in power

amdg88

No. We don't need another FM to run the country. Marcos is a great leader but he abused it. What we need right now is moral revolution.

Bitter Guy

Anyone who thinks Ferdinand Marcos was great must have some loose screws in the head. He was responsible for the Philippines' downfall (when he first sat in power, the Phil peso compared to US dollar was 2 : 1)

He was great at being corrupt and violating human rights.

i don't think that we need a president like marcos again. It is a given fact that the person is very intelligent and that he really made the Philippines known around the Globe. In fact it was in his time that the Philippines is regarded as second to Japan. But, it was also in his time and his administration when corruption is very much prevalent and tolerated. Much damage has been done and we need not experience oppression again to be enlightned. A Marcos is enough and it is of my great wish that the Filipino people (living during that regime and those who are able to understand history) learn from that time....

We all should move on and do the best for our country...

Hank

is it not a dictator now in power ?

Mutya P

Dictator or not, every individual is unique so no one can become another Ferdinand Edralin Marcos. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

Elizabeth Dreams

great leaders are only great until they abuse their powers, just another human frailty.

gentleman

Erap also. Seems Philipinos have a sort of masochist trend in their mindset. (iam Indian)

Erizelle

I dont' think so, people lately are so aware of what is happening around them, now a days filipinos need a good RULER/ Leader not a dictator.

gooday! ;)

Princess Ninja

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm
No. Marcos was an insane nut. And his wife had a lot of shoes.

Kaye1806

i think so... but Ferdinand Marcos wasn't a good President in other aspects but as of now i think we need another one like him..:)

Jeane Chan

Of course he was a great president.. Only few people give significance to the improvements he has done as a president. They always focus on the wrong things he has done. In a time like this, where trust is already unstable with the government and the people, I think it is necessary to have a president like him. I hope that this president will not commit the mistakes Ferdinand Marcos has done. May peace be upon him.

NeptunesSon

Yes it's true ... Charisma and Imelda's shoes count much more than substance ... that's the ticket.
