Most of my wife’s family here except for distant cousins. Marcos a part of their decision. Look at Manilla today and asked yourself where did those billions go.

I don’t know where the billions went, but I am pretty sure Marcos didn’t take any of it with him. I am sure he was corrupt, as is everyone, from the Burangay Captain, to the dude illegally selling Diesel fuel on the street. I was in Manila in 2014, 2015, and I will be there next week. Actually, the place looks pretty good, except it is too crowded for me. Every direction I looked, for as far as I could see, there were construction cranes everywhere, so it’s growing well.
As I mentioned, my wife’s family loved Marcos, warts and all. I was not politically astute then, so it’s hard for me to judge. They like Duterte too. He is draining the swamp.
