The story below is just another short story that I want people to know but the worse kind of bad news happened during the time of the Marcos regime when almost everyone have no food to eat because of over population, famine and drought in India and other third world countries. Locust multiplied in millions in Africa and water almost everywhere are polluted. It was in the 70's when the Americans decided they have to join the Marcoses at the M. Palace. They have no choice. While typhoons after another ravaged the very foundation of the government in the Philippines. Prices of commodity climbed up to unbearable prices. Cost of gasoline is super high. The demand of supply is high but supply is very low and cannot be found.The rice granary had no more staple food in production we end up eating ground corn and sweet potatoes instead. China cannot supply staple food because they were no longer the source of agricultural products they were going highly industrial nation. They concentrated on skyscrapers. Pres. Marcos that time implemented so many projects so that the Filipinos wont go hungry. One of them is the Green Revolution project. He asked many land owners to distribute empty land without crops to their neighbors can help cultivate and till them for agricultural purposes. What the neighbors did? They sold the lots given to them. They don't want to be come farmers. They sold the land and move to Manila. End up stranded in a city where money is God. That's the usual story. Need I explain? Until too many squatters populated the area and they blamed the Marcos family and crony for their sad fate. What's next? They polluted the river, the bank of the river they dumped the waste there and it becomes a barrier the water cannot move anymore and flood upon flood ravaged the area. Don't blame the guy who made a difference and who made the country a better place. the Philippines was already a developing country not a third world country until some people destroyed the plan...and they will blame the man who is the benefactor of wealth? Where is your conscience? Yes he is a dictator. What is wrong with that? He is a man who just like Jodie Foster in the movie CONTACT accepted the Milgram experiment and inflicted the hurt and pain so that he can have the billion dollars budget for our country. It's for the whole Filipinos for the whole country. But what happened after that? You have inflicted so much damage when another hero is proclaimed. Who are the traitors of Philippines? Would that validate the true story of what happened?
HERO the movie.
I think every 100 years the world needs a hero. True hero and saviour. The very first was Jesus Christ and he suffered through all the testing. He live or resurrected after that. But who can be reborn after being dead? Einstein? Hitler? Lazaro? Marcos?
Okay let's not be so serious here. Or it might end up as RESIDENT EVIL. Resurrected. Or Crouching TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON part 2.
FACTS OF LIFE? PLs. pay goods with cash or cheque. NO BARTER please! Barter is something that we cannot depend upon. You pay textile with fish when it's easy to sell fish than textile. Paying vegetables to your dentist is not right. Paying a cow for your carpentry work is not right either. A country gave you a shipload of wheat and you pay us with loads of shoes when nobody buys shoes here is really such a sad sad fate of commercialism. When you exchange shipload of logs and you paid it with shipload of clothes when people here would like to buy old used clothes from thrift shop is such a very bad idea. That's why barter is discouraged. When movie stars are paid with ten brand new cars instead of cash money. What that celebrity has to pay for his income tax? Unless of course if the can sell the cars right? Like a carpenter was paid with ten fish from a day's work what will you pay for a month's rent to a house? When you cannot sell the fish unless if you are a fisherman? How to make things right when the government and laws are the problem?
