Marcos Impresses Me

Ferdinand Marcos is written in history books as the hateful dictator. In my opinion though, I think that he could have been the greatest president of this country.

That is, if his wife did not ruin him. It's not surprising though. History has proven time and time again that the downfall of men is their women. Marcos was a great statesmen, a great lawmaker, a great lawyer.

Did you know that he is the only person in the history of the Philippines who ever stood in front of the Supreme Court to orally take the bar exams? He was imprisoned at that time. Apparently, Marcos received a 99.something grade in his written exams, which led to the suspicion that he cheated. So, the Supreme Court called him for an oral exam. His bar exam grade is actually his oral exam grade and not his written exam grade. This is quite amazing. I know, I've been through the hell of the bar exam. So, it's amazing how he got an almost perfect score. He was brilliant. Too bad, he got greedy. Could he not just tried to moderate his greed? Well, the present president is giving him a run for his money.
