It is high time for the government to consider setting up a Gold Commission and appropriately declassifying the members of the late President's (FM) \"Umbrella Foundation\". Then and only then can we ascertain if there indeed is an iota of truth to this fabulous fortune, or if it is simply just another grand sting operation of such great magnitude. So many stones have circulated about the so-called fabled Marcos gold hoard; A good number of con-artists, carpetbaggers, and operators nave all provided conflicting data and information about those treasures, either to make a fast buck or to aggravate the mounting confusion, so that, in the end, no one would eventually believe that this hoard did exist after all. Our leaders should carefully consider how to deal with the other country claimants and the banking Mafia (big bankers who keep these fabled war loots). We do not have to fight them, we just need to get what's due us and what's rightfully ours. This will be the great big challenge to the administration. President Ramos has started it, and has led us to our exit from the International Monetary Fund in March 1998. If President Estrada does it right, coupled with his undoubtedly close relationship with the Marcoses, his administration is bound to achieve more. Let us start getting our act together. And may the good God usher our new leaders toward this end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback: 365 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Raiders of The Lost Gold Publication, 1998\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 971-92049-0-7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raiders of The Lost Gold Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44674058715302,"sku":"","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/61yaXa6Y52L._SL1360.jpg?v=1703210800"},{"product_id":"ferdinand-e-marcos-an-epic-by-guillermo-c-de-vega","title":"Ferdinand E.

This is all we seem to remember of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. The Marcoses presented themselves as the reincarnation of a primal couple from Filipino mythology. Ferdinand reinvented himself as matchless fighter against the Japanese, and Time magazine hailed him as a hero. People were happy to believe this, even those who knew it was a he was the strongman, the dictator, welcomed by Lyndon B. Johnson, Nixon, and Reagan at the White House - America's Boy. He and Imelda were surrounded by hard-faced soldiers, and by courtiers who claimed magical powers. Everything was at once farcical and very serious, at once an exercise in brute power and a parody of it; their lives intertwined politics and fantasy. For twenty years they dominated the Philippines. In the end, a 'democratic revolution' replaced them with Cory Aquino, a feudal landowner. Nothing the world applauded, the shadow-play went on. The author has gathered astonishing information from senators, cronies and rivals of the Marcoses; and from family members, including Imelda. He cuts through the Western caricature of the Marcoses as a pair of exotic clowns. Hamilton-Peterson sets his narrative brilliantly in the context of the wide Asian tragedy of the Marcos the vast cruelties of the war in Vietnam, the rise of the Suharto dictatorship in Indonesia, and the transformation of every local issue into a drama of the Cold War. His intimate knowledge of the Philippines allows him to view events in the capital, Manila, from the apparently changeless, but in fact complex shifting reality of the remote provinces. His peasants and fishermen, brought to life movingly and unsentimentally, pay the price of dictatorship and American strategic arrogance. This is a highly original biography of a dictatorship. -- from inside book's cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Anvil Publishing (January 1, 1998)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 461 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 9712710890\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-9712710896\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 14.4 ounces\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anvil Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44702073323686,"sku":"","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/91UtMgRlQSL._SL1500.jpg?v=1704501453"},{"product_id":"the-aquino-legacy-an-enduring-narrative-by-sta-romana-cruz","title":"The Aquino Legacy: An Enduring Narrative by Sta.

Let it therefore be understood at the outset that I believe President Corazon Aquino to be a woman of piety, intelligence, courage and dignity, and a President whose demeanor, if not policies, has earned the Philippines deserved prestige in the world. I wish her well despite serious misgivings. I was never an admirer of Senator Aquino, whom I knew from 1963 to 1973. Though I conceded that he was brilliant, I found him a demagogue, a Filipino politicial in the traditional mode, and one dangerously cooperative with the Communists. Cory Aquino and many of Ninoy's close friends believe him to have undergone a spiritual transformation in prison, being converted to Jeffersonian democracy and Gandhian non-violance. Their ideas demand respect, but as the following pages will attest, I do not share them. At the deepest core of Ninoy's being, I believe, was an unquenchable passion to be crowned the Number One Filipino, a goal which evaded him in life. By his martyrdom, however, he succeeded in setting in train the events which destroyed his antagonist, President Marcos. I therefore honor Ninoy as a brave man, and I acknowledge the greatness he acquired by his immolation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"971910743X\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"xcoo3p-exfgoh-l2g6b7-fh013n\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"971910743X\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"dgoyvt-p30ssb-yopkup-gqnmly\" data-cel-widget=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"971910743X\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"p6spu0-zd7k1f-qubwcp-k22hf2\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-3\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"6mq8ao-5bimw8-ye3qwv-ij7har\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstancelvT3fsXGj_sDgp_BEqdxag\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_2\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"971910743X\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-asin=\"971910743X\" data-marketplace=\"ATVPDKIKX0DER\" data-logged-in=\"false\" class=\"_tell-amazon-desktop_style_tell_amazon_div__1YDZk\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ [Lewis E.

The Filipino people shall finish it for me. I wrote this volume very, very slowly. 1 could have done with it In three months after my defection from the conjugal dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos on February 20.1975. Instead, I found myself availing of every excuse to slow it down. A close associate, Marcelino P. Sarmiento, even warned me, “Baka mapanis ’yan.\" (Your book could become stale.) While I availed of almost any excuse not to finish the manuscript of this volume, I felt the tangible voices of a muted people back home in the Philippines beckoning to me from across the vast Pacific Ocean. In whichever way I turned, I was confronted by the distraught images of the Filipino multitudes crying out to me to finish this work, lest the frailty of human memory -- or any incident a la Nalundasan – consign to oblivion the matters I had in mind to form the vital parts of this book. It was as if the Filipino multitudes and history itself were surging in an endless wave presenting a compelling demand on me to San Francisco, California perpetuate the personal knowledge I have gained on the infamous machinations of Ferdinand E. Marcos and his overly ambitious wife, Imelda, that led to a day of infamy in my country, that Black Friday on September 22, 1972, when martial law was declared as a means to establish history’s first conjugal dictatorship. The sense of urgency in finishing this work was also goaded by the thought that Marcos does not have eternal life and that the Filipino people are of unimaginable forgiving posture. I thought that, if I did not perpetuate this work for posterity, Marcos might unduly benefit from a Laurelian statement that, when a man dies, the virtues of his past are magnified and his faults are reduced to molehills. This is a book for which so much has been offered and done by Marcos and his minions so that it would never see the light of print. Now that it is off the press. I entertain greater fear that so much more will be done to prevent its circulation, not only in the Philippines but also in the United States. But this work now belongs to history. Let it speak for itself in the context of developments within the coming months or years. Although it finds great relevance in the present life of the present life of the Filipinos and of Americans interested in the study of subversion of democratic governments by apparently legal means, this work seeks to find its proper niche in history which must inevitably render its judgment on the seizure of government power from the people by a lame duck Philippine President. If I had finished this work immediately after my defection from the totalitarian regime of Ferdinand and Imelda, or after the vicious campaign of the dictatorship to vilify me in July-August. 1975, then I could have done so only in anger. Anger did influence my production of certain portions of the manu-script. However, as I put the finishing touches to my work, I found myself expurgating it of the personal venom, the virulence and intemperate language of my original draft. Some of the materials that went into this work had been of public knowledge in the Philippines. If I had used them, it was with the intention of utilizing them as links to heretofore unrevealed facets of the various ruses that Marcos employed to establish his dictatorship. Now, I have kept faith with the Filipino people. I have kept my rendezvous with history. I have, with this work, discharged my obligation to myself, my profession of journalism, my family and my country. I had one other compelling reason for coming out with this work at the great risks of being uprooted from my beloved country, of forced separation from my wife and children and losing their affection, and of losing everything I have in my name in the Philippines — or losing life itself. It is that I wanted to make a public expiation for the little influence that I had . . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ January 17, 2016\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ 430 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1523292199\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1523292196\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.27 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 6 x 0.97 x 9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46718528684198,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/61lgR6OG77L._SL1360.jpg?v=1759447281"}],"url":"https:\/\/philippine-bookshop.myshopify.com\/collections\/history-philippine-presidents.oembed?page=2","provider":"Philippine  Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
