Ferdinand Marcos is better than any president

This entry is just a “what if?” questions and solely my own opinion.

I just had some questions in my mind regarding the celebration of the “People Power Revolution”. What if no one opposed Marcos? What if Marcos continued to be the president back then? What would happen to our country? Of course, many will say that Marcos is tyrant, unfair, unjust, and whatever bad things you call him. But when I had a conversation with my parents about him, all they said was good about him and nothing bad. What if Marcos continued to be the President? Surely, it will be a Marcos dynasty. Not even a single Filipino will be a millionaire or billionaire because hell be hogging their money. Surely, he is one of the most corrupt official. But who cares? At least we benefit from it There are those NPA’s, terrorist attacks, and it only shows how weak our armed forces and policemen’s are. Due to Marcos’ iron rule, he was able to impose order and reduce crime (remember the curfew hours?). Because of our international diplomacy, we are being aided by the US government and many infrastructures were built during his regime. After People Power, is it anything better? Did our economy improved? No. It even became worse, corruption is still evident. Maybe we can’t erase corruption, that’s given. But Marcos would have offered something better if we let him lead us (Philippines would have been a powerful and rich country just like the others).

I quote from wikipedia “The relative economic success that the Philippines enjoyed during the initial part of his presidency is hard to dispel. Many of Marcos's accomplishments were overlooked after the so-called "People Power Revolution", but the Marcos era definitely had accomplishments in its own right. 

People power is the main reason why this country is poor and history repeated itself with People Power II and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo being the president.
