Chapter 1 - G & B

 February 25, 1986 - The oath taking of Mrs. Corazon Aquino as the 11th President.

                               - In defiance of President Ferdinand Marcos, who held a similar ceremony in                                            Malacañang a few kilometers away.



 November 25 1999 - She warned President Joseph Estrada by quoting the American author George                                   Santayana's famous line: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to                                   repeat it." She describe the quotation as "wise words not just for our children and                                     grandchildren, but for all of us to heed." 




 Comparison between President Marcos and President Aquino, Aquino may have been worse than Marcos judging by her own record.

 President Aquino in 1986 also ruled by decree, abolished the 1973 constitution, violated human rights and betrayed the Filipino people.

 Marcos spent Php. 448 billion in 20 years: Aquino disbursed almost Php. 1.6 Trillion in 6 years and 4 months.




 The unbridled graft and corruption in her government resided chiefly in the corridors of the Executive branch... and the failure to control the military, to stifle insurgencies, and the maintenance of peace and order was the function of the President who is also the commander in chief.

 In sum, the key complaints of the citizenry against profligacy, favoritism, nepotism, cronyism, dynastism, extravagance,  the deteriorating economy, and incompetence led to the Aquino government.

 President Aquino turned her back on the people and pledged instead to honor the debts, including fraudeletes ones.

   Bago tayo tumuloy sa usapin kung nakapag tapos nga ba si BBM, pero kahit na may diploma siya sadyang bobo lang sila at ayaw nilang paniwalaan sa mga bagay bagay. Tanong:  Kung hindi nakapagtapos sa pag aaral si BBM sa oxford, pano siya nakapag aral sa Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania? Special diploma in Oxford University?

Paoay to Hawaii - What happened? : Marcos

  "Your dad departing from Malacañang. Cory did not know anything about that event. She called Bosworth, and then I remember Cory shouted over the phone 'No I do not want him here. Just take him out!" -Enrile "Yes, that's it. I remember that, I remember that was in the middle of the night already we were already in Clark. The Americans still did not know quite what to do with us. The original arrangement was that we will be flown to Ilocos." -Bongbong Marcos "Cory requested that to Bosworth when I made the report to Cory, and because of the interregnum the gulo on that point probably the transmission of information to the operating units of the American Military was delayed." -Enrile "I remember Gen. Allen asked to see my Father... he sat us down and said that we were surrounded by NPA forces, and there were two columns of NPA units coming to attack." -Bongbong Marcos "There were no NPAs. They misinterpreted the Paoay to Hawaii....
