Ask my 52-yo Filipina fiancé, she was there until 2 years ago and is a staunch Marcos “loyalist”.
Asking her about it was a wild ride, so much I had never heard. I had wondered how much was propaganda, and she can explain that as well.
I’ll get it all wrong, but I understand he built hospitals and schools and roads and more. She said everything stagnated and fell back to corruption after Marcos Sr. was ousted. Can’t remember what she said about Imelda, but I think my gf thought she just a dipstick.
