Due to the advent of the hero's burial of the former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos Sr. at the Libingan ng mga Bayani and due to the support he is gaining nationally especially by the millennials who did not witness the horrors of Martial Law, I suppose that they have the right to CHANGE PHILIPPINE HISTORY, but who would believe the REVISED Philippine History then when the world witnessed the Philippines being mishandled by Marcos during his reign as president, dictator and strongman for more than twenty years?
Before Marcos assumed power in 1965, the Philippines had a foreign loan of only six hundred (600) million dollars, when he left power almost twenty one years after, the outstanding foreign debt of the Philippines was a gargantuan twenty five (25) billion dollars. It is true that he made some gigantic edifices like the Heart Center of the Philippines, Philippine Kidney Center, Light Rail Transit, San Juanico Bridge etc, but such constructions cannot explain the 24.4 billion dollars the Philippines got from foreign loans during his time.
Marcos was charged for looting the government after he left office as president to the tune of ten (10) billion dollars, such larceny can be corroborated by the seizures of some parts of it by way of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, but his supporters would justify his WEALTH by way of some videos not inspected and affirmed by historians saying that he was really RICH before he entered politics and that because of his so-called accomplishments he can be considered as the best president the Philippines ever had. Now, which one shall we believe, the Philippine History being written by the scholars and historians or the "EVIDENCES" not corroborated by history researchers which are being circulated by his family and supporters?
