Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Ilocos region of Luzon is a dry, impoverished area that was settled by Ilocano tribes. The first European to visit the area was Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo, who established the settlement of Manila in 1571. #2 The Ilocano are a very superstitious people, and their family cell and blood clan are extremely important to them. They are extremely loyal to these two things, and will do anything for them. #3 The Ilocanos, as a people, have a long history of dreaming of escaping their hometowns. They have been historically employed as domestics and drivers, but many have emigrated to undeveloped Mindanao, the Middle East, and Hawaii. #4 Ferdinand’s father, Fructuoso Edralin, was a relatively prosperous peasant who owned 80 hectares of irrigated rice land and coffee plantation along the river in the barrio of Dingras near Sarrat. His mother, Josefa Edralin, was a tough, resourceful woman who had to work hard because her husband was a spendthrift.

Book Synopsis Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes by : Myles Garcia
Download or read book Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes written by Myles Garcia. This book was released on 2016-03-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler Bernie Madoff look like a rank amateur. With the passing of 30 years, this book becomes a full accounting of the rapacious and avaricious rule the pair enjoyed—how they hoodwinked an unsuspecting people, and the truth behind many of the dirty tricks they employed revealed at last. The present is an opportune time to take stock, especially as their only son and heir, Ferdinand, Jr., and others of his ilk, launches a comeback attempt for national office in this year's Philippine elections, and trying to re-fabricate history in the process. This book will set the record straight.
