President Ferdinand Marcoss Speech

Marcos studied law at the University of the Philippines, attending the prestigious College of Law. Based on
our research, he excelled in both curricular and extra-curricular activities, becoming a valuable member of the
university's swimming, boxing, and wrestling teams. He was also an accomplished and prolific orator, debater, and
writer for the student newspaper.

He sat for the 1939 Bar Examinations, receiving a near-perfect score of 98.8%. Although some have disputed
this score. He graduated cum laude despite the fact that he was incarcerated while reviewing. Had he not been
in jail for 27 days, he would have graduated magna cum laude.
Several people can attest to Marcos incredible memory, and they include Senator Miriam DefensorSantiago who once served as the late presidents speech writer.

Based on our research, Marcos possessed a phenomenal memory and exhibited this by memorizing
complicated texts and reciting them forward and backward, even such as the 1935 Constitution of the Philippines.

Ferdinand Marcos was a very controversial president.

But heres a disclaimer: Im neither a pro- or anti-Marcos. The goal is to provide unbiased information as
opposed to exaggerated claims that have led some clueless Filipinosespecially the young onesto make hasty
conclusions.
Some say hes the best president the country ever had, while others believe otherwise. But how well do we really
know the Philippines strongman? Is he really the evil dictator that the media claim he was?
This statement of Ferdinand Marcos has caught my attention: I come from that part of the world, wherein the
poorest of the worlds population live. I come from the part of the world that cherish an image of America
with its ideals, I come from the Philippines., a part of Asia which has been molded along the principles of American
democracy.
Those statements highlighted in red are filled with humbleness which is a good point, meanwhile, the bold
statements in black signifies colonial mentality: cherish an image of America / molded along the principles of
American democracy. However, I understand that he had vocalized those statements to give much compliment to
Pres. Reagan....
