I'm thinking that why the Marcoses seem rehabilitated is because following Edsa 2, Filipinos realized that Macoy's diatribe against the unscrupulous "old society" forces has some truth after all.
I used to think Marcos was sort of pure evil but now, save perhaps for HR violations/freedom of expression issues, his policies were actually OK.

I mean, even Ninoy Aquino talked of the ills of "old society" where wealth was monopolized by a few.
ReplyDeleteMarcos talked of oligarchs even controlling the media. Are we better off today?
