Last month, I had a project that required to conduct a survey about who the best President is. My respondents were mostly old people. To my surprise, of 20 respondents to the question "Who is the best president for you" 17 people answered Ferdinand Marcos. the common answers to why he is their choice is that, In Ferdinand's time, especially when Martial Law was declared, the country was peaceful and quiet. According to one of my respondents, martial law was really necessary at that time. Ferdinand knew how to discipline his people.
With regards to intelligence, for me, the best President that we had is Ferdinand Marcos. He loved the Philippines so much that he did his very best to make our country known to the rest of the world. In every man's success and failure, there's always a woman behind. I believe that it is Imelda who brought downfall to the Marcos regime. He is considered as a social butterfly. She lived an extravagant life. She lived like a princess with Ferdinand as her prince. Ferdinand loved the country as much as he loved her wife. Until the very end, he showed his love to his country by wanting to die and to be buried in his native land.
