like every man, marcos has his faults and accomplishments, the impact of each relies solely how they were portrayed by the media. with respect to marcos after reading his book and reviewing the policies and how his regime went, may idea talaga sya at alam nya ang ginagawa nya, he saw the problems of the country and made steps to change them. infrastructures, industrialization, modernization of agriculture, education etc etc. above all these, napansin ko na binigyan emphasis nya ay ang filipino character. it was flawed to boot. kaya nga ang line nya ng simula ng martial law is NEW SOCIETY, siguro paulit ulit mo maririnig ang sabi nya na "sa ikauunlad ng bayan disiplina ang kailangan". medyo di ako magfocus doon kundi sa ibang portion, kung papansinin mo ang MMFF, CCP were all initiated during that time, dahil ang pinakaprimary reason ay bigyan ng recognition ang kagalingan ng PILIPINO, all those infrastructures and architectures to include the highlighting of filipino ingenuity in the arts and music are geared for one thing. bring us an identity that we can be proud of and symbols of that greatness. kung papansinin mo lahat ng existing historical sites ng pilipinas are all symbols of our colonization, of our failure as a nation to stand against foreign oppression. that even our independence was given, it was never ours to begin with kasi di natin napaghirapan.
now talking of corruption, hindi yan unique sa atin. kung ihahalintulad mo ang isang civiliation sa isang tao ang corruption naman ay sakit nya, sakit na walang lunas at walang bakuna. bakit?? corruption happens when the system is abused for personal gain eh, as opposed to crime which is an act against the existing system. both of which are diseases of civilization.
bakit disease na walang lunas?? dahil sa uniqueness ng bawat tao, magkakaroon at magkakaroon talaga ng tao na tataliwas sa mabuting gawain. lahat kasi naman tayo may good and bad side.... corruption is not really the root cause, nor is the system, these are just manifestations of a deeper problem, neither is poverty, crime and etc. like one foreigner who commented on the philippines, we can understand that the officials corrupt us because we are foreigners, but what is really bothering is that filipinos corrupt filipinos.
which brings us to a point, Filipino Character a by product of culture was the result of a history shared by the filipino society. and 350 years of being indios, natives, a second class citizen enabled our ancestors to come up with a culture that enabled them to survive those years of oppression.
The way a filipino view freedom is the same as a slave view freedom. It is liberty to from control, of being able to do anything you want to do in your life. A filipino view laws statute and ordinances as curtailing freedom. because primarily we are slaves for 350 years..
Americans view freedom in the same way as european pilgrim settlers view freedom when they first sought the new land, it is freedom to own your land, to labor, to enjoy the fruits of that labor and to enrich his being and life. an american view laws statute and ordinances as means to bring order and to protect the interests of the majority. because they until now were freemen to begin with.
So yes Hindi natin alam anong talagang gamit ng ating kalayaan, dahil kung alam natin matagal na nating nagamit ang nasa bayan natin para umunlad. Natural resources and Human resources. mayaman na likas na yaman, at mayaman sa matatalino at magagaling na pilipino. pero anong gingagwa ng karaniwan, ibebenta ang kanilang mga ari-arian at serbisyo at manghihingi ng mas malaki pa.
Americans started to expand when they have fully exploited their resources, they recognize that with the onset of development requires resources...
