IMELDA'S CALVARY by R. T. Fajardo pg.2
Unknown
The Aquino and Ramos administrations have turned out to be heartless
governments, obsequiously catering to the whims of the rich and
ignoring the needs of the poor. In contrast, the Marcos
administration have proven to be a "government with a heart." In her
desire to help the unfortunate, Mrs. Marcos had indeed curt corners.
She should be commended and thanked for cutting the Gordian knot of
red tape and for going around unnecessary regulations in order to help
the poor and the needy. Instead, she has been condemned and sentenced
to 42 years in prison.
Though her lawyers, Mrs. Marcos has not been convicted of any crime by
any court of the Republic of the Philippines. She presumed innocent.
This, despite the obsessive wish of the Aquino government and some
officials of the Ramos administration to eagerly get their hands on
the alleged ill-gotten wealth supposed to have been stashed by the
Marcoses in Swiss banks.
As a requirement for release of the frozen money to the Philippine
government, the government of Switzerland has told the Philippine
government to show through judicial conviction that the dollars
deposited by President and Mrs. Marcos in Swiss banks had been
acquired by them though corruption. This has not been done – and it
probably will not and cannot be done.
The Sandiganbayan conviction in the LRT-PGH case cannot be used by the
government to convince the Swiss banks to release the money to them.
The case, as I have said earlier, made no allegation and made no
findings that any of the money said to have been diverted was pocketed
by the Marcoses and deposited in Switzerland.
With all the resources under its command, with its hordes of
investigators, prosecutors and judges, with nearly unlimited funds at
its disposal, the inability of the government to prove its charges of
corruption against the Marcoses after ten long years in compelling
proof of either unmitigated incompetence on the part of the government
prosecutors or of the innocence of the Marcoses.
You will recall that the Philippine government had spent millions of
pesos of the people’s money in trying to prove charges of corruption
against the Marcoses in a case filed in New York City under the
Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations or RICO law. After
nearly four years of trail, during which the Philippine government,
with the help of the U. S. federal government, presented 95 witnesses
and over 350,00 documents, the case was dismissed by the U. S.
southern district court even without the defense presenting its own
evidence.
Upholding the district court’s decision throwing out the RICO case,
the U. S. Court of Appeals ruled that the Philippine government
"provides no direct evidence to support its Litany of Offenses alleged
to have been committed by Mrs. Marcos." It also ruled that the case
brought by the Aquino government violated "the Act of State doctrine
in its most fundamental sense." Under this doctrine, every sovereign
state is bound to respect the

My father and my brother were imprisoned in Camp Crame for a total of
1 1/2 years because of my brother's political beliefs. They weren't charged.
Our house was raided, surrounded by a battalion of soldiers. They ransacked
my room. I was 15 years old when that happened.
We suffered. No one is 'taking care' of the injustice done to our family.
Until now, I cringe when i see men in uniform. I still have nightmares
about military men.
It's ok, you posted the most revisionist history that has been posted in SCF
for a long time. You should get to the facts before you post anything.
It's a shame that you actually didn't know anything before being used ...
I can
talk about the torture that my family has suffered under the Marcos's regime.
That can't be erased in our memory, but people like you just make a mockery
of what we have endured.
My apologies, I seem to be incoherent. But I feel my pain, and it's even
worse when I read such lies like what you've posted.
Shame shame shame.

this thing did'nt happen to me but it does'nt take a genius to figure out
why Marcos was a failure corrupt dictator. after his 20 year rule the country
is dubbed as the sick man of Asia, unbelievable.
I cannot imagine how someone with TOYM award can't figure this out. Now I
want to know how he got his award.

tanong :
1) bakit ang Taiwan, korea, Singapore, Malaysia at Indonesia ay my
mabuting pamumuhay kaysa Pilipinas ?
2) alam mo ba na ang Pilipinas ay "sick man of asia ? bakit ?
iyan ang isipin mo. pag-nasagut mo iyan ay bilib na ako sa iyo.

That is a very good logical inference :-) from Mr. B Ramos?
