The Marcos years according to statisticsI respect Bongbong’s right to run for president. It was our generation that suffered through the failures of Marcos monopolies (hence, the power crisis, telecom crisis, PAL bankruptcy, water crisis, etc.). The tragedy is that the majority of Marcos’ projects failed to contribute to job generation and economic productivity. Economists agree that the Philippine economic collapse of the 80’s was due to Marcos’ debt-driven economic policy. The Marcos era was not a golden era but the years in which our once strong economy slowly discombobulated.
