I honestly was having seconds thought in watching this because of the comment section. With how strong their history revisionism movement here in the Philippines, I was expecting a lot of his cultist defending him and hurling insults to others.

There will be very few, if any, Marcos trolls who will bother watching a video in STRAIGHT English, considering probably only a few of them, if any, could understand or talk in straight English. That debunks a myth that the Philippines is "English-Speaking".

Oligarchs envy and angry to Imelda She had no time for socializing.she was with the poor ....and their problems ..
My mom was a promising national athlete in Ilocos Norte. Not only did Pres Marcos recognise my mom's athletic prowess but acknowledged my mom's capability to progress as a woman, as a Filipina. He would exclusively invite my mom to the Malacanang Palace to ask her what career path she would like to take besides sports. He would ask my mom to sing "Lupang Hinirang" and ask her for an oral examination about "Panatang Makabayan" at his Presidential Office (checking if my mom knows these by heart).
Mrs Marcos even remembered when she saw my mom in the wake of the late Executive Secretary Venus that my mom had full access to Pres Marcos' Office. Ironically, Mrs Marcos needed to ask permission first from the executive secretary to see her husband.
My mom once said to Pres Marcos that she did not want to take law as attorneys are liars. Pres Marcos jokingly laughed and asked, "Do you mean I am one of them?". Then they laughed together.
My mom knew Pres Marcos was true to his heart and that he wanted to help every Filipino.
Pres Marcos offered my mom a scholarship so that she could take Law. My mom refused and took Education instead. Afterwards, she became an educator at the International School of Manila after graduating. He was a mentor and a coach to my mom.
She always remembers what Pres Marcos told her, "Don't let people drag you down. If they perceive you as a bad person, don't get affected. Just move forward and focus on things that will help you succeed in life. Help your detractors if you see them suffer."

Thank you for this video. As a Filipino American curious about his identity and roots, understanding history in the Philippines is one way I've looked to do so. I have family who are staunch Marcos supporters. I had no idea about what took place in the Philippines during his reign, just a gut feeling that did not feel good that I wanted to investigate. It's been an enlightening journey, one that opens doors for conversations with those family members. Anyways, again, thank you for piecing it together and I will need to hear the other side to get a fuller picture. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
The problem is that half of the potential voting public in the Philippines weren't even born during the Marcos dictatorship, don't know the history, and don't care to learn. Instead, they listen to those who revise history online and whitewash the martial law times. This is why Bongbong Marcos will be the next president in a month's time. The truth is that the Marcos family never completely lost their influence in the Philippines. Here am I, an Aussie living in Mindanao with my Filipina wife who as a young girl of 15 in 1980 was one of those "rebels in the south". Let's just say that those closest to me here hold no love for BBM and the rest of the Marcos family. Actually, even President Duterte will not endorse BBM. What does that say?
Duterte's daughter is bongbongs vice president
It's quite unfortunate that some younger Filipinos don't grasp the full picture of Marcos's era since the corruption and human rights violations that happened at the time were taught in schools yet when they ask their parents/grandparents, they claim to have had a sense of nostalgia about the time.
Not the case however with descendants of his critics at the time.
Because today the re-writing of history through social media was in full force in order for Bong to gain presidency.
@@blowc1612 yea im sad
My parents grew up during in the Marcos-era Philippines. Even though we live in Australia now, they are still wary of having strong political opinions because they grew up in an era where it was dangerous to do so.
My grandparents feel safe during Marcos Era.
@Reuben Desmond well, if your words are true, why a lot of opposition still survives to this day?
What, marcos only killed small time rallyist? Did he killed ninoy (or was it imelda)? What happened? Why they cant pin it to marcos?
he was kim jong un before kim was the dear leader in north korea. these dictators are classic men of power before the bigger bullies toss them out of power. Marcos is no different.

We did learn from our history and we learned our recent and current history.
@@jonreese7066 What was that supposed to mean??
@@emperorsblade2786 look up the events in the philippines during the Pnoy Aquino, son of Cory Aquino administration
1. SAF 44 Pnoy sent a hundreds of Special Action Force(something like US SWAT) into a rebel encampment to arrest an international terrorist and abandoning 44 of them to be massacred.(they were killed by beheading and headshots). The national army was encamp nearby was not informed or sent in for over a day.
Note:
The Aquino Admin was negotiating with the rebels to grant them autonomy over their region and hundreds of millions in financial incentives.
After the massacre, the Aquino government planned to continue that deal until the popular uproar over the massacre forced the government to put it on hold.
President Aquino bypassed the regular chain of command to appoint a suspended of officer to run the operation from the capital.
When the bodies were returned for burial. The President was on a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new car plant.
SAF did kill the terrorist. When President Duterte, Aquinos successor, asked what happened to the 2,000,000 us dollar bounty. Aquino said he didnt know
2. President Pnoy Aquino's, son of Cory Aquino chosen candidate Mar Roxas for the 2016 presidential election getting recorded hinting that the administration that they would withhold sending aid to Super typhoon Yolanda struck areas that were Marcos supporters.
The US army donated MREs for the devastated areas. The news said they were diverted by the Aquino administration to be sold to a major supermarket chain.
3. In order to support president Aquinos chosen cadidate. Their supporters instituted charges both in the legal courts and courts of public opinion.
There were 6 candidates.
1. A sitting senator during the Aquino Admin was questioned with not being eligible to run because she was alegedly an American citizen but this charge only came out after she declared her intent to run and after she refused to join the Aquino party
2. President Duterte is alleged to have ordered mass execution during his political career as Mayor in the 1980s but those charges started when he publicly condemned the Aquino administration for the bungling of SAF 44 and mismanagement of relief efforts for supertyphoon Yolanda and after he decided to run for the presidency against the Aquinos
What is not usually mentioned is Duterte spent most of his political career as an ally of the Aquino and no charges were mentioned against him until he decided to run against the Aquino's chosen.
There is even allegation by the Aquino candidate that during the election that Davao city Duterte's hometown was crime ridden and dangerous that he could take the reporters to a drug den and buy drugs at any time.
To counter Duterete just showed the press the award certificate he received from the Aquino admin signed by that candidate declaring Davao as the safest city in the Philippines.
The other candidates also got the same treatment
Now if the Aquinos do this for their former allies what do you think they could do to their enemy the Marcoses when they took power?
One last thing, it is a rule that candidates must disclose how much they spent during campaign
Duterte spent around 300 million pesos It is roughly how much almost all the other presidential candidates spent. The vice presidents about a third at around 100 million pesos.
The Aguino administration candidate that beat Bongbong Marcos for the vice presidency, Lenny Robredo reportedly spent 300 million.
Robredo was an unknown and gained national notice after her husband died in a helicopter crash.
The Aquino administration candidate running against Duterte refused to disclose how much the administration spent on him.
I am not saying Marcoses are perfect but the Pnoy Aquinos actions destroyed their familys legacy and painted the Marcoses in a more romantic light.
The Aquino party whose traditional color was yellow we call dilawans are so tarnished their party rebranded around Lenny Robredo as Kakampinks. Pink allies.

Unfortunately, corruption is still rampant in the Philippines. Even today, the Marcos clan has significant influence in spite of its history. The Philippines is effectively an oligarchy and the Marcos family is simply one of a few such families that dominate the political landscape. For ordinary people it doesn't really matter who is in charge since all they do is use their power to benefit themselves and their families at the expense of the Filipino people.
Those who don't really care shouldn't vote. I know voting is encouraged but it is also a necessary measure in response to a problem. If people cannot observe the problem to solve (e.g. poverty, economy, corruption, etc) then they dont understand the necessity to vote. Think of it like a company where so many owners voluntarily vote on the management. Those owners who don't really care about the company shouldn't vote.

jailed and release? being a lawyer for a workers union? meaning workers front of the CPP/NPA. Ask your grandfather how could he be released when it was then martial law. He detested(your chosen word) Marcos? what are those he detested against Marcos? Is it personal?

Enrile who survived an ambush where I wasn't even alive, is still alive today at 98. His persistence to live became a meme here in the Philippines, ranging from photos with his favorite t-rex, brownie, planting the tree where eve got the apple, and being part of the three kings that gave gifts to baby jesus.
It was a fake ambush that he confessed.
It was a fake ambush. He confessed it 16 years after Martial Law
The ambush of Enrile in 1972 was TRUE.
SOURCE: The NY Times and Jaime Panesa, reporter for PNS, Philippine News Service in 1972.
The fake ambush from a yellow narrative was Enrile's propaganda when he broke away from the Marcos leadership and joined the so-called people's revolt in 1986. He retracted it later on due to the fact that he no longer needed a propaganda for garnering support, and it already served its purpose, to protect himself and his group in staging a coup against Marcos using the EDSA people power. Enrile actually fooled the yellows/anti-Marcos into believing the fake ambush up until now.
@@cnycaq8768 But in 1988 book, “Waltzing with a Dictator,” New York Times reporter Raymond Bonner wrote that while Enrile’s wife, Cristina, said that God had saved her husband, “God had had nothing to do with it. Marcos and Enrile had staged the ‘ambush,’ as the final justification for martial law.”
Inquirer and other international and local prominent News Companies that interviewed Enrile also published the identical response.
Talagang Hari ng Balimbingan yang si Enrile. Eh ngayon bumabalimbing na naman ng suporta ni Bongbong Marcos kasi pangit na naman kalagayan niya sa gobyerno.😂
Fake or not that "ambush" added to the impression of "unmanageable" communists forces that led to the premature declaration of ML and to the extension in power of Marcoses.
@@carokann4244 I read that book too. You need to know who Cristina was other than being the wife of Enrile to put it in perspective, what was her impression of the Marcoses and their patriarch's administration for being kept in the dark coupled with Enrile's affair with women. She never said Marcos and Enrile staged a fake ambush in 1972 directly. Ask her, she still alive today. Haven't you wonder why Inquirer, a news outlet that has nothing good to say about the Marcoses ever since, quoted an anti-Marcos book instead of Cristina herself? Oh, don't include "other international and other local prominent news companies," it's only Inquirer that quoted that. You might quote the Lopezes too, the family who owns a corrupt anti-Marcos media network, ABS-CBN. LOL. Although, I couldn't agree more with you that Enrile as "balimbing."
The downvotes are from the Marcos cultists who venerate him and see his son, Bongbong, as the last hope.
And now Bongbong Marcos is the new elected president, 31 million voted for him. Filipinos never learn. God bless the Philippines.
31 Million People,
But Only few World leaders Congratulated him
We have already learned that the 1986 coup was a mistake

I think Marcos himself is quite generous to his friends. I think the die-hard Marcos loyalists we have now in the present are related or connected to these cronies who benefited (not necessarily monetary) from Marcos being their "patron".
Yep, it's crazy the amount of brainwashing they are still in decades later.

See South Africa and South Korea for other examples of how US support for anti-communist dictatorship began to fade away in this exact same period.

Nope. That doesnt apply to me at all. Maybe Im Marcos supporter or not idk. But some people misses the bigger picture here is that moral ambiguity exist. And I still have my suspicions about the Aquinos legacy. Do you paint the Aquinos as heroes ???

My mom said that Marcos is really good. He has a power and brain to lead the country but the thing is he took advantage his position as a president. He doesn't want to step down, he CORRUPTS and etc. In Bataan they never felt the "martial law" yes, there's a lot of guards but it is still peaceful and quiet BUT when my mom went to college and transferred to Manila? She saw what really martial law is.
You have to look on both sides, don't get blinded by lies.
its a shame that late president cory aquino didn't continue the plans for Bataan Nuclear Power Plant that President Marcos requested for the sake of the economy of the Philippines thus he leave a word that without it the Philippines will be in huge economy downfall within 20 years which its true...

@@jhonmichaelberina8960 No one mentioned Cory here. She's not any better. Try to back up your pretense first before babbling nonsense.
I don't wanna go explaining everything but in a nutshell people remembered him here because life in the Philippines in present times becomes so hard as the our nation slowly fall into debts and many crisis. While this is happening people try to look back on the old time when the Philippines are still considered great or better. Just like how Americans look back and remembered living in the 50s ,60s, 70s, and 80s and dubbed it as America Greatest, Dreaming of making the country great again. Yet people overlook some problems during those times like the cold war, Vietnam, Gulf war, Racial prejudice, Poverty, and many others. Same as they overlook his obvious corruption and greed for power.
To understand how some people here still support Marcos, you could compare it to how some southerners defended and Justified the Confederates today. They want to keep their legacy even though its obvious that they did something that is wrong.
Amazing, couldn't put it better honestly
@DarkdaemonPK2 lol i dont think so as one from pangasinan
The first part of this is especially poignant. It is true, people look at the past with rose colored glasses and pain can be forgotten. Adults now, were just children when Marcos was in power and children never understand how bad it is. "The Good Old Days" were never as good as you think.
@DarkdaemonPK2 What does "better" mean? We certainly can say Marcos did worse with the destruction of ethics, morals and decency with his 20 years in power.
@DarkdaemonPK2 no one is talking about Aquinos here tho That's the only defend of Marcos apologist is whataboutism
plsss why are apologists here if theyre not even believing all these even though valid sources are provided on the description already. Come on now, have yall even watched the vid?
My father was a Martial Law political detainee having been on the same detention block w/ Geny Lopez, Serge Osmeña, Pepe Diokno & Ninoy Aquino, he was portrayed in certain scenes in the movie Eskapo. I remember those days as a very young boy making our once a week visits to the detention camp with all the detainees' family members being cramped in a Ford Fiera with all of us blindfolded until we reach the camp.
My mom was a promising national athlete in Ilocos Norte. Not only did Pres Marcos recognise my mom's athletic prowess but acknowledged my mom's capability to progress as a woman, as a Filipina. He would exclusively invite my mom to the Malacanang Palace to ask her what career path she would like to take besides sports. He would ask my mom to sing "Lupang Hinirang" and ask her for an oral examination about "Panatang Makabayan" at his Presidential Office (checking if my mom knows these by heart).
Mrs Marcos even remembered when she saw my mom in the wake of the late Executive Secretary Venus that my mom had full access to Pres Marcos' Office. Ironically, Mrs Marcos needed to ask permission first from the executive secretary to see her husband.
My mom once said to Pres Marcos that she did not want to take law as attorneys are liars. Pres Marcos jokingly laughed and asked, "Do you mean I am one of them?". Then they laughed together.
My mom knew Pres Marcos was true to his heart and that he wanted to help every Filipino.
Pres Marcos offered my mom a scholarship so that she could take Law. My mom refused and took Education instead. Afterwards, she became an educator at the International School of Manila after graduating. He was a mentor and a coach to my mom.
She always remembers what Pres Marcos told her, "Don't let people drag you down. If they perceive you as a bad person, don't get affected. Just move forward and focus on things that will help you succeed in life. Help your detractors if you see them suffer."
One of these stories seems like a genuine experience and one seems handcrafted to make a specific person look like a hero and a Saint. I wonder why that could be 🤔

Well I don't blame you're mom, she took a chance to suck up rather than to look at the bigger picture and suffer herself. Guess you could say that a lot of Filipino nowadays defining trait is selfishness. Then again, I don't expect Filipinos to actually do proper research.
Since you have a story to tell about that era of our country then i will tell you one of mine. I have a family member killed during martial law even tho he was just a farmer and is not even very political as he was focus on trying to feed family. One night he was taken from his home and we still dont know what happened his body. Till this day my grandmother and her fellow family member still detest the marcoses.
It is amazing how people fail to learn from the mistakes of the past. It is shown to be true not just in my own life, but in this video as well.
People already learned on their mistakes, to never forgive the Oligarchs, the Aquino's and the other communist leaders who plotted to oust Ferdinand Marcos. The truth is already been revealed. These gullible fellows who are anti-Marcos are all delusional fools who cant prove anything even on court proceedings, they still keep living on their self made reality...
Lol Marcos tell that to the ML victims and muslims that were killed in mindanao because they were “insurgents”
Yeah when I compare how much better Rome turned out after killing Tarquins, how much better Japan was after the Genji hunted down the Heike, how much better France was for beheading the Capets and their friends, and how much better Russia was after shooting the Romanovs to how much worse the Philippines is after leaving the Marcos' fate to the Courts, somehow I'M "psycho."

@@deeperthantheabyss624 No, Marcos was a good leader, he was a stellar president and propelled the nation during his first two terms in office. The problem is his lust for power and how once he got it via martial law, the unprecedented political power he wielded corrupted him to his very core.
I recall Marcos' ouster fairly well. I remember vividly a detail that this video touched upon briefly but history has largely forgotten: Marcos decision to leave. It was made during a telephone call with U.S. Senator William Proxmire, who was serving as a sort of emissary for the Reagan Administration in the matter. During the call, Proxmire told Marcos "We're making you a one-time offer to get out of there with our help. It's good for 24 hours. After that? You're on your own, and good luck to you from there." Basically a Michael Corleone-like move, but fortunately it worked.
It's sad, however, that before and since the Philippine people have had a penchant for both nepotism in government service and both autocracy and corruption in its leaders. All nations have it to a degree, but you'd think people wouldn't so routinely vote for the kids of past leaders, corrupt or otherwise.

Or I don't know maybe it's just me on my opinion.
Dictators are the one who killed and make your country miserable or rich
Idk it depends on who is rulling
Yep it's been a coin flip since the Roman times. You rule wisely either be fair or ruthless and prosper or you become a tyrant and make eventually everyone suffer.
That's not how you spell Filipino and it's supposed to be Pilipino- Filipino is the language subject...
Thanks just didn't really know how to spell it.
Thanks so much for giving justice to the Filipino democracy by exposing the lies and deceit of Ferdinand Marcos.✊✊
Did Cory Aquino do justice to the Filipinos after the 1986 coup? Of course not, she is EVEN more worst than Marcos.
@@AccipiterSmith true Marcos may have been wrong on many levels but the Cory Admin were somewhat worse
Who the heck would fire lethal rounds to quell a small group of protesters
Basically, A dictator was replaced by a family of dictators. A family of dictators hiding in the guise of democracy.
The Cory Aquino admin experienced more than 6 coup attempts due to Marcos' influence, reestablishing and restructuring of the government , the massive burden of a crippled economy and national debt reaching maturity.
It took years to remove Marcos' cronies clinging to power in the economy and the military. Even with all of that, she managed to stablize the nation's finances in just 6 years. She even managed to acquire several dozen military assets that we still use today like the, S-211 jets, the Commando armored vehicles (the media calls "tanke"), and MD-520 light attack helicopters.
@@octaviondeminicolas1941 Marcos cronies was already removed when Cory came to power, the economy during her administration went into a downward spiral as inflation rises even more worst than Marcos' and during '89 the minimum wage are low. And for the record, the Cory admin did not buy any military equipment or improve the military itself.
This dude was just telling Marcos' biography, all of a sudden butthurt Marcos apologists crashed straight into the comments and then criticized the dude's vid
-800 Marcos Apologists points
Thanks for the video man! Unfortunately the younger generation who listen to unreliable information never understand.
i see you fighting with them lmaoooo
@@aWILDsomethingCAME yea at the same time saying my opinion
Damn, just like the Germans in WW2, Filipinos deserve whats coming to them. They have no one to blame.
I visited the Philippines in the early 60's. I had dinner at the house of an opponent of then President Marcos. They complained about Marcos & Imelda. The core of the objection is the they were low class from the provences. That's the problem with opposition groups in the Philippines. They are all from the same exploiting class. & the government officials are just lackeys of this class. It's a same because the people from the Philippines I have known & worked with have mostly been smart, kind & generous people.
Nothing new. Still like this in the Philippines. Perhaps, to most of the world.
pls be informed that wenfilipinos need a true story not a fabricated one we need true so we can eduucate our childrén the past history of óur country.
Binisaya mo nalang sana nahihirapan kapa tuloy mag english hahahaha.
There are still a ton of hardcore Marcos fans. My girlfriends family being some. This ought to be a fine line

At least you’re aware that they’re being fooled instead being the one who is fooled. 🤷
There are still a ton of hardcore Trump fans.
Diliwan here we go!!!!
@@trollslayer0073 yep there are a ton in here,
Thank you for this episode. My countrymen, the young ones especially, have been subjected to whitewashing of the atrocities of the martial law years and the horrible reign of that family that should have been punished.
Mais aujourd'hui le fils de Ferdinand Marcos a gagner les elections presidentiel et est president après Duterte. Qu'en pensez vous ? BONBO est comme son père ?
@@brahamdiallo1630 the son is nowhere close to being like his father. He is inept, does not have concrete plans for the country and is really just after absolving his family of its brutal history by rewriting it through the revision of all materials about his father and his reign of terror.
@@MediocreGamer1979 the fact the there were no concrete plans for economic recovery,improving healthcare, protecting national interests scares many people
@@brianaguila6925 you are sooooo right, sir.
imelda and the rest of the family must be condemned and pay back for their atrocities
Now his son is running for president next year. As someone who has many connections in the Philippines, I'm so curious to understand the Filipinos stance on the Marcos family. Some say he was good and times were easier, but others say he was brutal and corrupt. The way i see him is just another corrupt, wealthy politician that the Philippines is so used to. That's why I'm hoping my Filipino friends don't vote for his son, he'll be exact same as what the Filipinos have had for so long.

As if bullets would harm Enrile.
Only Enrile can kill Enrile.
Gold.
make one on his ally, Juan Ponce Enrile. He is even older politician and in age than queen elizabeth
and Enrile is officially a meme rn
Juan Ponce Enrile must have been born when dinosaurs are still roaming around the earth. He's so immortal that he must have saw the recipe on Queen Elizabeth's immortality.
once had a pet t-rex
Legends say he was 3rd person on the Garden of Eden along with Adam and Eve
younger celebrities even died before him. gosh, that old man.
They just elected a Marcos again.
It's like the Hunger Games on those islands.
And yet his son is the President now, looks like Filipino people would never learn XD
Do Jose Rizal next! He lived a colorful life and a tragic death
How did he die?
@@mandingo1massiah984 Got executed by a firing squad
@@mandingo1massiah984 executed by fellow Filipinos. His life is very interesting especially his time in Europe.

Heneral Luna as well, a brilliant mind but killed by his fellow countrymen.

Marcos: greed, guns and ube pan de sal
and now they want to elect his son to be the next PRESIDENT!! hahahahah
Communism always takes root in repressive countries with engineered poverty. I dont agree with communism but I can see why it would sound appealing to some people
Yeah it's appealing to young people who know nothing about communism. Just because they didn't see it they think they can do better and it won't be the same smh.
@@nikolashanks7058 those people in the Philippines definitely didnt fit into that group. They were a group of people who got tired of grinding engineered poverty. Something like communism would sound very appealing to people in those circumstances.
@@jessicajujubean5004 I'm talking about today not back then I probably should have said that.
@Mason Harris they love them because they can be manipulated. Hate them because of self righteous elitist attutudes

In all seriousness, if you will be observing the comment section, be prepared to see pseudo-political analysts who are either Apologists or Anti-Marcos. _Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!_
Absolute truth, most of them are the 40 year old parents lol who are self proclaimed experts regarding all the things going on in our country, the conspiracy theorist...
our ancestors failed as filipinos stopping the Marcoses from rising back to power again.
