Why do Filipino “activists” keep harping about Marcos?
The way Filipino “activists” keep harping about the “evil” Marcos and the “dark ages” he subjected the Philippines to under his “Martial Law regime”, it is as if he and his regime are the worstthing that ever happened to the Philippines. Think about it though. Communism did far more damage to China than Martial Law did to the Philippines.
