Summary of Chapter 5 and Chapter 10

of
The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos

Marcos was well on his way to laying the groundwork for a new term in office. In the
Philippines, he stayed in power long enough to establish a dynasty. He was a unique
individual. doing it in such a Hitlerian manner that it would be a piker's job to burn down the
German Reichstag. Marcos was working on his most ambitious infrastructure project yet. It was
treachery of the highest degree, far outweighing the treacherous shooting of Julio Nalundasan. It
was done behind the backs of people who trusted him, people who rallied around him, and
people who relied on him to bring a dreamy campaign slogan of "This nation can be great again"
to life.
