The poor people of the Phillipines were only free to starve under the US supported oppressive rule.

The US ONLY allowed Marcos to come down when the region became less vital to the overall plan and when Anti Marcos sentiment became intolerable after the Aquino assassination or rather, CIA sanctioned HIT.

Again, you are too smart to argue a subject you know so little about.





Philippines was better off having alot of US infleunces, ever since Clinton had them leave. Its been worse
