Tiger of Asia
 During the regime of President Ferdinand Marcos our country was known as the
Tiger of Asia. It was indeed real because of what you will see the foundation of
infrastructure that Marcos built during his time three decades ago was now only
continuous and maintain by the succeeding terms of government.

 As the time goes by people now understand the comparison of Marcos government
from Cory Aquino, Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada and Gloria Arroyo.

 The allegation of corruption done by Marcos 20 year’s term was now packed or
compressed in 3 to 6 years terms of this generation government. We can ask our great
grandfather or our father which of this government serves for the majority of the
people.

 During Marcos as I remember the Edsa Avenue is so wide and there’s no traffic at all.
Our economy was in full-bloomed and claims of prestige are in our hands, we are
number one in Asia. But after Marcos we are number one too but in corruption and in
all negative aspects of our country.
