It supposed to free the Philippines from corruption in order for people to feel
the benefits from the government. But what happened is the corruption in the
government becomes worse. Politicians are not fair. When someone tries to
block their way, they will do anything to get rid of him through propagandas
and impeachment.
Those politicians who overthrow Marcos - which they accuse of being a thief,
plunderer or a murder, was the exact same things they do when they are in
the government and is even worst than Marcos. As a result, the Filipinos are
the ones that’s affected. Agriculture and farmers are also not given
importance. Cory Aquino, who was the “brain” of the EDSA Revolt, did not
gave farmers their land instead, she ordered them to be shot and confiscate
their land illegally. Murder rates worsen compared to Marcos. Massacres are
a lot worse compared to Marcos. Poverty also worsen. The freedom and
prosperity that the people expected after the EDSA revolt, was not given.
EDSA not only deprived Filipinos, but it also resulted to a democracy of
crimes, corruption, poverty, plunder, murder, drug trades. The EDSA did not
bring prosperity but POVERTY and CORRUPTION for over 30 years. This is
what made the people look for a guy who will get things done in a simple yet
effective way. And they chose Duterte. The country is better now compared to
30 years of “democracy”

Well, for one, it restored our freedoms. Among the most important include
those for Speech and Expression, as well as habeas corpus and the right to a
fair trial. Also, that civilians can only be tried in civil court, because during
Martial Law civilians could be tried in military court.
It brought back representative governance. For all that the Marcos regime had
a parliament of sorts (the Batasang Pambansa), it was a sham legislature that
served as rubber stamp to the dictator. Although often we don't feel like our
elected officials really represent us, at least we can elect them out of offic
What do you think about investing in Africa ETFs?
It is a huge place, with over 50 countries, and full of potential. Within our
lifetimes we might see some economic superpowers in Africa. With that being
said I would be careful about investing in African ETFs for a number of
reasons: * There is no link between stock market performance and GD
The 1986 revolution was supposed to make sure the rule of law was
sovereign over tyranny. Our freedom compared to Martial Law time is, as
Robert paints, starkly different. But people don't seem to remember this
difference, and in fact idealize the Marcos era so blindly...so many people are
even supporting Duterte for president, someone who is widely suspected
(known?) for extrajudicial killings. So as much as it has improved the lives of
people, it has not necessarily improved the minds of people. It is truly
disappointing how much we could have achieved in 30 years but how much
we did not.
Honestly for me it did restore freedoms. But the biggest thing that it gave us
was the sense that democracy is working.
It gave the people the idea that there was change. When in fact, almost
nothing have changed.
The same families still control the wealth. The same powerbrokers are still
there and making the big decisions. There were relatives of the people on
BOTH sides.
The finance minister of Marcos is the brother of the finance minister of Cory
Aquino. Fidel Ramos is a cousin of Marcos. I could go on and point out that
both sides have relatives. I think its a ploy for them to keep power in the event
if either side would win. The families would still have connections on the other
side.
