I was invited by the University of the Philippines Third World Studies Center to deliver a speech on the dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
I will deconstruct why he is loved to this day. Or seems to be loved to this day.
I hope some of you can come.
It will be at the UP Diliman Faculty Center conference hall from 9 AM to 12 AM.
But if not, that’s OK.

This is your downfall … Binay. The previous and additional nail on your political ambition’s coffin is your sense of entitlement “wang wang” comment re your son’s Dasma village caper…. this comment – “slam dunk-a-dud” is the final nail… I wonder if other comments from you will bury the political ambitions of your entire family.
Let us all think of ways to explain to the masa why this guy should not be elected in any office – presidential or otherwise…you took Joker Arroyo’s path.. you started right, fighting against Marcos – somewhere along the line .. the system got you… shame… I’m so disappointed, disillusioned… Enrile just revealed his true color, never my Edsa (he just used it to protect himself to stay alive after his coup failed) nor Corona impeachment hero at all, … but you and Arroyo?

“Vito Rizzuto himself made trips to Switzerland, which police alleged were part of a scheme earlier that year to get his hands on gold ingots from the fortune of Ferdinand Marcos, the deposed president of the Philippines. Vito claimed to have a mandate from the family of a Filipino general and close associate of Mr. Marcos to retrieve money from the Marcos estate on their behalf, which was believed to be hidden in Swiss and Hong Kong banks” as detailed in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) surveillance report.

Is it really conscience that drove Ruby Tan to come back home and face the music? I think it is more of the “heat” and the thought of holding on to very rusty prison bars. She really was well coach: secure the family first and then come back home to start “singing”.

Whatever her motive is, Ruby looks to me like the “blood-red” gemstone at par with diamond in value and importance. Without her courageous testimonies that put her life in jeopardy, the saga of the pork plunderers is now headed to a fitting finish – incarceration and never-ending damnation.

US contests China sea claim …link http://www.philnews.com/headlines/2014/headline_news_0207ac.htm
…sea claim. Or ‘see claim.’
US says “Addressing the rifts, the top US diplomat for the region challenged Beijing’s so-called nine-dash line that outlines its territorial claims over much of the South China Sea.
Danny Russel, the US assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, said that maritime claims under international law needed to be based on land features.
“Any Chinese claim to maritime rights not based on claimed land features would be inconsistent with international law,” Russel told a congressional committee.”
Just like wartime militarist Japan, wanted to claim the whole of Asia in the 1940s. It was a debackling mistake!
leona says
US says China should respect International Law. Will China? Maybe not yet. Playing a game of dangerous consequences. US supports Philipines’ right to go to the UN for a peaceful resolution; China objected.
China now making more air-craft carriers for the sea lanes. Report says US is not anymore. Why? Does China really know how many air-craft carriers, including nucleared powered, US has? How about the WWII ones? Yes, those are just ‘parked somewhere’ in ready-good runing conditions!
How many? Maybe 35 or more including the nucs type. China? 1 so far.
US says China’s ‘dash lines’ claims is not based on ‘land features.’ Meaning? It’s based on sea waters! Oceans! This ‘object’ – oceans/seas are governed by International Law for all.
What China is getting into is “See Claim.” Not Sea, ’cause ‘sea’ is under International Law rules. China is bluffing! US is calling China’s bluff is not ever going to work!
Why ‘never going to work’? ‘Cause it’s LUGAW! For America it’s PORRIDGE! Not thicker than a Texan Cow Steak!
History may repeat itself here on this ‘see claim.’ China will be on the lugaw end …just like militarist Japan…shashimi okidiki.
leona says
Btw…Gen. Douglas MacArthur once reminded Pres. JFK during the Vietnam War…not to send American forces to Asia anymore. The rest is history.
But what about the oceans or sea…did the General include that? No. So, the fish are awaiting…for a company swimming…Who?
Whoever can launch a million boats gets not to swim!
kalahari says
China’s claim to almost 80% of the south china sea is based not only on lame historical rights but more on its military might,
China therefore has, historically speaking, about as much right to claim the south china sea as Mexico has to claim the Gulf of Mexico for its exclusive use, or Iran the Persian Gulf, or India the Indian Ocean.
It is therefore imperative, for our survival, to seek close military alliance with the U.S. and Japan.
leona says
“The Philippines has asked the United Nations Arbitral Tribunal to declare as illegal China’s 9-dash line map, which claims almost 80 per cent of the whole South China Sea as Chinese territory.
The full statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry:
Q: In a recent interview, the Philippine President Benigno Aquino III reportedly compared the Philippines which is in territorial disputes with China to pre-WWII Czechoslovakia. What is China’s response to his remarks? Are China-Philippines territorial disputes exacerbating?
A: The disputes in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines mainly stem from the Philippines’ illegal occupation of some islands and reefs of China’s Nansha islands. The fact is crystal clear. Our two countries also have disputes over the delineation of maritime boundaries. China firmly opposes the Philippines’ occupation of China’s islands and reefs. As an unwavering upholder of international justice, China made huge sacrifice and indelible historical contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. It is inconceivable and unreasonble to place China-Philippines South China Sea disputes in the same category with the WWII history. The Chinese side is shocked at and dissatisfied with the remarks from the Philippine side.”
From Ellen Tordesilla’s article.
For 2000 years China was building that great Walls…nothing about their ‘See Claims’!

China have made a few successful J-15 aircraft practice landings onto Liaoning – but all lightly armed and in good weather conditions and not in deep blue water. A handful of Chinese sailors are being trained by Brazil on carrier operations. This carrier is ramp-launch not steam-catapult equipped, which means half fuel for the aircraft (short distance flight) and limited ammos or missile payload in order for the aircraft to successfully take off. The US is now deploying electro-magnetic catapult technology in their new carrier fleets. By the time China have a battle-ready fleet in place ready to sail to the SE and SW china sea, the US would have already built remote-controlled carriers for drones and naval bases in the pacific area for their drone fleets. China’s million-strong army will only work in land-based conflict. It is virtually useless in maritime theater. Drones are the new generation of fighters and the US has hundred thousand of them ready to mobilize at the push of the button.

How can bongbong explain the many pending cases of ill-gotten wealth by his family – especially the P200 billion now pending at the sandiganbayan. On 2/21/12, the SC has ordered the reinstatement of Senator bongbong marcos, Ilocos Gov Imee Marcos, and their sister Irene Marcos-Araneta as defendants in the said case, and to investigate the prosecutors who bungled the case.

How was Marcos able to convince the electorate to vote for him (as senator and subsequently as President) considering all these derogatory information about his personal and family background?
If Bongbong Marcos were to run for president, will he be able to surmount an even more terrific baggage?
My ignorant preliminary assessment is that despite all the tremendous resources available to the Marcos camp, Bongbong will not be able to overcome the power of information technology in providing enlightenment to the voting public.
Tomas Gomez III says
There was an absence of political vigilance! Perhaps, even the innate nature of the Filipino to be tolerant of untruthfulness gave Marcos a pass!!! Have we ever sent any political figure to jail for perjury? “Its a Sin to Tell a Lie” ought to have been more than just a song!!!!
There was quite a number of prominent people who knew the real story behind Marcos. But they were either co-opted or they simply kept quiet. Many dismissed the claims of Marcos as jokes that will not survive the electoral season. Many of those who kept quiet were rewarded. Or naively, did not think the people were stupid enough to believe the many lies of Marcos.
Opposition research was not yet an active tool as they are today. There was no FactChecker or Politifact, to contend with. Even Philippine media was near inert.
Marcos ” happened to us” because many good men did not lift a finger to expose the can of worms that Marcos had always been, ab initio!!!
“Never again” will only work if “vigilance of memory” as a daily exercise were tatooed upon our collective psyche.

““Never again” will only work if “vigilance of memory” as a daily exercise were tatooed upon our collective psyche.” to quote Thomas.
True but we need electorate majority with computers linked to social media in order to educate them as to real character of the candidates they are supporting. This is precisely what the corrupt like the Binays, Estradas, Marcoses, etc are scared of: to have an informed voters. That’s is why they prefer the poor to remain poor with no access to computers; their goal : 50% or more are without computers in 2016 and they might win( I will be happy to be wrong of course)

tagasampaloc says
We can’t rely on radyo , even some of the media are already bought. Remember Marcos were able to stash so much ill gotten wealth that even the church supports them. That’s not to mention that so many are depending on them for survival like the alalay, bungaw, leeches, hangers, and other die hard loyalists.
Marcos, being an ardent student of history, learned that you must steal big large enough to bribe everyone from auditor to the judges and even lowly clerks to evade being caught. That’s the practice during the Spanish regime when the Gobernadorsilyo always got away with his corrupt practices by bribing the auditor to the King of Spain. Marcos bested his predecessors that he became the gold standard of present day corrupt like the Binays, Enriles, Estradas and others.
Tomas Gomez III says
And so, what is your solution?
tagasampaloc says
I was hoping you won’t ask me that question hehehe. I don’t have solution for now but I expect social media will have more players like you between now and 2016 when more dirt of the Marcoses are exposed daily to shame and humiliate them constantly.
In addition to the power of the NETIZEN, everyone should be involved to organize groups to dissipate relevant information regarding candidates.

Possible for pc makers to distribute PCs; work of high speed Internet connection; pass the FOI bill into a law; assemble, gather and unite for grievances vs corruptions; teach, guide and instill our youth to WRITE, TALK AND CALL our legislators and leaders.
Work! Work! Work! Each one contributes one small good piece to our youths. It will spread like WILD FIRE…the youths are like the FORESTS inflamed with fire.
Ask and plead for CIVIC NON-POLITICAL organizations all around to contribute to this GOAL…helping the youths to abhor CORRUPTIONS in many forms with the use of the latest tech gadget – the COMPUTER via Internet high speed.
Awaken those who are SLEEPING to help. Support those who are HELPING. Can we SPARE A PESO or TWO PESOS for this? Why not!

@leona
We are on the same page when you say to have pc makers distribute pcs with internet connection. The goal is to connect more than 50% of voters to social media in order to vote out the scumbags and elect the “lesser evil”. This needs big money donation from the rich but when you get big money small money from many people comes in.
This was the case with Obama: his $700 million campaign fund vs McCain came from the super rich like Oprah, Hollywood big like Giffen and others and it precipitated the trickling of small donations from so many people who eventually became his VOTERS.
True, money begets money.

in mid-April [1945], Ferdinand learned that his father Mariano Marcos, after months as prisoner of Major Barnett, had been tried for war crimes and executed… Barnett’s
guerrillas – friends of Nalundasan – after interrogating Mariano and confirming that he had worked for the Japanese throughout the war, executed him by tying him to four water buffalos, which tore him limb from limb
The 1969 presidential elections were riddled by violence – murder and coercion – and wholesale fraud “Marcos succeeded himself by backing up trucks to the Central Bank,” remarked a CIA officer who had been in the Philippines at the time of the election. Two weeks
before the election [his] campaign manager, Ernesto Maceda, withdrew 100 million pesos (roughly $25 million). Then, with an air force plane and military security, [Maceda] hopped around the islands, dispensing peso-filled envelopes… The election cost Marcos a staggering $50 million, which was $16 million more than Nixon had raised for his successful presidential bid the year before…

The movie was never finished. After Black Friday and the siege of Malacañang – the First Quarter Storm – Marcos said it was no good and miscast. Dovie Beams left for Los Angeles, feeling used. Seven months later, Dovie came back, demanding more money from the producers. She was taken to a safehouse by security chief Ver for a showdown with Marcos, and then to a hotel where she was assaulted. Taken back to her hotel, she left and checked into a hospital, and phoned the U.S. Embassy. [She] was immediately
visited by Consul Lawrence Harris, who told her that he was speaking for Ambassador Byroade. …Harris and Byroade had initially tried to help the First Lady to buy [Dovie]
off, offering her $100,000 directly from the palace if she agreed to keep quiet – and hinting that they might be able to get her double that amount. She was given to understand
that the offer came directly from Imelda. “Think about it – it’s tax free.” …At the Bay View Hotel, she called a press conference and played one of her tapes… [ At the University of the Philippines, students] commandeered the campus radio station and broadcast a looped tape; soon the entire nation was listening in astonishment to President Marcos
begging Dovie Beams to perform oral sex… Barely able to keep a straight face, Ninoy Aquino called for a Senate investigation. In Hong Kong, where she fled with the help of the
U.S. Embassy, she was put into the protective custody of M15, while HK police arrested a hitman, Delfin Cueto, whom Imelda had hire.

thank you, baycas. the apo marcos must be related to walter mitty. marcos has vivid imagination. biro mo, with a rifle and bolo, he singlehandedly subdued japs on patrol and killed them. bolo? that’s not standard issue for soldiers, saber maybe. then, bolo apparently become knife which marcos used to pry the bullet that was stuck in his leg. must have been magic bolo then, able to turn into a knife.
2ndly, when firing rifle, for a man like marcos not muscular and not tall, he would need both hands. can’t be firing rifle with one hand, and have bolo at the other. must have been bayonet he was using.
marcos could have given credibility to his story had he said he was struck by a 45 or 22. easy for him to size the slug, considering he was the one who pried it out. left leg, right leg, upper leg, lower leg, bullet wound on these areas would cause a lot of bleeding, gravity alone would ensure gushing of blood. location is bad too, the leg being lower than the heart, blood would gush out even more. there would be guarding of leg muscles too, the muscles would clamp around the bullet, the bullet stuck fast and harder to remove. that, and with copious blood, it would be hard to see where the bullet is, let alone remove it. there are many holes to the story.
ps, had marcos been alive today, he may even change his story and say, it was rocket launcher he used, guided by satnav.

The war heroics of Marcos was all fiction……if his own descriptions of his “war wounds” were in fact true, he would not have survived the war, let alone participate in the Death March! in which he did.
The undeniable fact is that Marcos was NEVER wounded in Bataan. This was the written testimonial of his Capas bunkmate, Dr. Juanityo C. Duque. The best evidence is a picture of FM, in swimming trunks….exposing his thighs, knees, legs…..walang peklat…..walang kasugat-sugat!

vander, leona and tomas, I understand the apo bangkay is still not buried dust to dust. he is still above the ground. I would love to have his remains examined once and for all, the examination done by forensic medical pathologists. there should be remains of healed scar on his leg. marcos was not full blood mestizo, the scarring on his leg might be faint, but would still be there visible to well-trained eyes like the puckering of the epidermis with epithelial cells packed in. maybe, it was gasgas or mosquito bite that apo marcos mistook as bullet wound, sa takot niya to be involved in a war.
bandage daw, ba, during 2nd world war, torniquet was often used to stop leg wounds from bleeding, the torniquet applied before the wound. at that time, medical knowledged was crude and not like what we have now. still, the pain would have been excruciating, might even knock him off, the leg not only traumatized but swollen to nearly 2x its normal size. and with no crutches, it would be hard to walk around with a leg like that, let alone carry gold and dig hole to bury gold in.
if imelda wants to prove that her husband is truly a wartime hero that has sustained physical injuries, she ought to have his remains examined, the examination filmed and documented to ensure no tampering of evidence. that might be imelda’s trump card. if scar tissue is present where it should be, it could mean marcos was telling the truth. and that might even boost bong marcos’ chances of winning the election in 2016.

i believed the facts were twisted.
he created his amazing fictional bio.
di ba si TJ at Tatang ganoon din?
they have this affinity: the embelishment thing.
baka pati DNA.
moonie says
present day examination of the preserved bangkay will either confirm, or debunk the myth. it’s imelda’s call.

In 1935, Mariano Marcos returned to Batac from Mindanao to run again for the national assembly… The election pitted Mariano directly against [Julio] Nalundasan. Nalundasan was
on Quezon’s Nacionalista ticket…Nalundasan defeated Mariano easily. Three nights after the election, on September 20, 1935, a heavy tropical downpour drove everyone off the
streets. In Nalundasan’s house, the victorious candidate enjoyed a late supper with family and friends. A few minutes after 10:00 P.M., he got up from the table and crossed
the porch to brush his teeth. The rain had stopped…Nalundasan was clearly silhouetted by the porch lantern. A .22-caliber bullet entered Nalundasan’s back, piercing his heart
and lung… Just before Christmas 1938 – three years after the Nalundasan murder – Constabulary soldiers burst into Ferdinand’s room [ in Manila] and arrested him on the charge of being the triggerman. Representing himself at the appeal court session on Saturday, October 12, 1940, Ferdinand wore a white shark skin suit
.
leona says
…you are not saying Ferdinand killed a great white shark for it’s skin suit before appearing at the appeal court, are you?
hahaha…making a joke only ‘pre! Btw, who was the judge who got that suit? hehehe

@Tomas Gomez III …kung Molina ang family name ng asawa ni Pres. Quezon, may posibilidad na nagkaanak si Marcos sa isa sa mga anak ni Quezon at Molina ang ginamit na family name. Like what Marcos wanted Dovie Beams to keep a secret kapag nagka baby sila.
According to the daughter-in-law of Quezon’s daughter Marcos’ affair with her mother-in-law was before and until Imelda came to his (marcos) life. Ang sabi pa nga noong nag-abot sina Ms. Quezon at Imelda ay nag karoon ng away hanggang umabot sa sampalan. at saka iyong property sa White Plains ay bigay daw ni Marcos sa kanyang mum-in-law.
Tomas Gomez III says
@kalakala…..Dona Aurora….”asawa ni Pres. Quezon” is nee Aragon. Molina is the surname of Pres. Quezon’s mother. (pls. read my earlier response to your comment.)
Your 2nd paragraph is absolutely bonkers! Where in heaven’s name did you pick up this garbage!
kalakala says
sorry, thanks for your correction sa 1st paragraph.
regarding the second paragraph. kung ganoon sir, who is louie molina whose wife claimed the granddaughter -in-law of quezon?
Tomas Gomez III says
@kalakala……wala akong kilalang Louie Molina. Pasensya ka na. I am very positive, however, that there has never been an encounter between any Quezon and Imelda. There has never been any relationship between the Quezons and the Marcoses. On the other hand, I can assure you that before Imelda met Ferdie…..Ferdie was already living with Carmen Ortega and they already had three children. The original Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. Is by Carmen Ortega. Bless her saintly silence!
Tomas Gomez III says
This is a rewrite of an earlier comment which has remained “awaiting moderation” Ang sabi ko….hindi ko kilala ang isang “Louie Molina” pero natitiyak kung hindi nagkaroon ng enkwentro si Imelda kay sino mang Quezon. Hindi nagkaroon, kailan pa man ng relasyon ang mga Quezon at mga Marcos!
On the other hand, masasabi ko na bago pa man nagkita si FM at si Imelda, si FM…bilang congresista….ay mayroon na siyang ibinabahay at sila ay mayroon ng tatlong anak. Ang napaka bait na noon ay mahal sa buhay ni Macoy ay isang”beauty” sa Maynila. Carmen Ortega……..ang naging Miss Photoraphy! Ang balita ko ay ang panganay na lalaking anak ay naging isang doctor na ngayon ay na sa America. Iyon ang na-unang na-ngalanang “Jr.” at hindi si Bongx2!
Tomas Gomez III says
nag rewrite muli ako—ikalawa na!– pero….comment awaiting moderation pa rin!!!!

maraming salamat po.
Victin Luz says
@sir, tomas….ang APO joe aspiras namin naman ang nagkwento regarding Marcos Sr.. And the Quezon’s…..rumurs lang pala but that Carmen Ortega sir ay nadinig namin sa La Union noong bata pa kami…so that was all true at kamaganak ba talaga ng mga ORTEGA sa LA UNION sir?
Tomas Gomez III says
@Victin Luz……I am not certain if Carmen Ortega is related to the Ortega clan of La Union. When you have the opportunity maybe you can ask around in La Union. Also, according to Primitivo Mijares ( Conjugal Dictatorship) the relationship of FM with Ms. Ortega continued even after he married Imelda. According to the same source, a fourth child was born.
Tambay says
@Tomas Gomez III Ang galing naman ni Marcos naitago nya not one but 4 kids from his relationship with Carmen Ortega. Where are they right now and bakit sila pumayag na as if they don’t exist?

“RECORD SMUGGLING UNDER PINOY. Global Financial Integrity (GFI), a Washington-based U.S. think tank, has come up with a mind-boggling report that the Philippine loses P65.5 billion a year to smuggling and illegal trading. It reported that the highest record loss was achieved in 2011, with an astonishing P173.5 billion loss of revenues.” (Ernesto Maceda, Philstar 2/6/14)
“WHAT TO DO ABOUT SMUGGLING. GFI points out that between 1960 and 2011, some $410.5 billion flowed in and out of the country, a great deal of it from smuggling. Political will is arguably the key, GFI argues so, saying that though the current administration has shown strength of will in pushing back corruption, it has not seeped deeply into BOC. The reason is not hard to see. Customs is home to Ali Baba treasure. The temptations are monumental, and this is a country more than any other that ardently believes in Oscar Wilde’s witticism that the best way to deal with temptation is to yield to it. As Ruffy Biazon, Sevilla’s predecessor points out, echoing Sevilla’s own depiction of corruption as an ecosystem. If you remove one corrupt individual and yet the same environment prevails, the risk for the replacement to go bad remains high.”(CDQ, Inquirer 2/6/14)
“ILLICIT. Even more staggering, GFI estimates a five-decade total of $277.6 billion entering the Philippine economy illicitly. A major portion of that total entered by means of false invoicing of imports to evade tariff. In a word: smuggling. Characteristically, the Palace greeted the GFI report with heavy propaganda spin. Spokesman Sonny Coloma thanked the anti-graft research institution for the report, saying this will guide government’s action towards reform. Reforms? This administration is rapidly moving to its dying days. Smuggling worsened rather than diminished during the past three years. A recent survey reports businessmen see an upstick rather than a decline in corruption. The whole context of policy weaknesses, vulnerable institutions, and the likely collaboration of high public officials has yet to be discussed. The administration has not presented us with a menu of policy reforms, institutional innovation and improved enforcement even as the scandal burns.” (Alex Magno, Philstar 2/6/14)

Smuggling at its worst under PNoy, with the smuggled value averaging $19.6 annually, an explosion from the comparable figures of $3.1 billion and $3.8 billion yearly during Erap’s and GMA’s time, respectively. In PNoy’s first two years in office, the value of smuggling totalled $39.2 billion, more than $35.6 billion during arroyo’s nine years in office.
