Call me bubba Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Althou the forum policy is"Topics not related to the Philippines can be discussed here except for religion and politics."I wish to discuss NOT the Political aspect but the "WHAT IF"had this man been successful.What would the Philippines be like today?On 07 December 1972, Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, nearly got killed in the hands of a bolo-wielding assassin.http://www.filhistory.com/2009/10/philippine-tagalog-bolo-filipino-weapon-imelda-marcos-assassin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Sibbick Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I would like to reply but I can't see how I can and stay within the rules.Regards: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 EdThe rules you posted are not for this particular forum.TopicsTopics on this forum are to be Philippine related; religious or political posts are not allowed unless they relate to the Philippines. Discussing sex is not permitted here either.Note above says unless they relate to the Philippines. So that means you can post about Philippines related religion or politics subjects.Then we have have this rule below which means that no world wide political or religion topics in off topics meaning I don't want to read about Obama here but can read about Marcos in OFF TOPICSOff TopicsTopics not related to the Philippines can be discussed here except for religion and politics. These topics cause problems. Sex subjects are also not allowed here.I hope that makes sense and maybe it needs to be re written and Jim you can reply if you want.

Dave Hounddriver Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I had heard that discussing major Philippine political issues on an open forum (by foreigners living here) can have negative legal and immigration consequences. Anyone care to speak about that is just rumor or if it is based in some truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to speak about that is just rumor or if it is based in some truth?Who knows but common sense should be used in posting,I dont think its wise to criticize the current government to much but can not see too much of a problem talking about history. Also to add, foreigners are not allowed to protest at public protests in case anyone thinks they have that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve & Myrlita Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Again a reminder, foreigners have absolutely NO RIGHTS here. None whatsoever. You can be deported just for looking at a local the wrong way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Again a reminder, foreigners have absolutely NO RIGHTS here. None whatsoever. You can be deported just for looking at a local the wrong way.I guess it depends on who the "local" is. Technically, I believe you are correct because there is a law on the books that says it is unlawful to "disrespect" a Philippine citizen, or some words to that effect. I read comments like this a lot. People are deported for sure but it is almost always a case of serious criminal offences or pissing off the wrong government official like Mr Baldwin (although he was banned, not deported). I read a case a couple of years ago where someone was deported for screaming at some high-ranking lawyer in a government office who had allegedly cut in line. Disrespecting the average person? I would like to see the source. Before someone reminds me for the zillionth time that I am a guest and I should smile, not raise my voice, not provoke anything and mind my p's and q's, thanks I heard it already. If I get deported for looking at a local the wrong way I'm in the wrong place anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call me bubba Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 I had error on caution As i had not clearly read the "other rules" for off topic post.Well i guess i will be the 1st and maybe the last post on this "subject", so i keep it simple(KISS)Both of them (marcos)was very dependent on each other, (without 1 the other would have not survived)i have not spent hours dwelling on it either,, BUT had she been incapacitated or ?? the following years 1972- ,would have not been, I think,that he would not have stayed in Office(power)as long..I have made my post simple and non offensive ... My purpose of this post was for the Fm who do read is. to start a thought amongst themselves to wonder or ponder the WHAT IF..Many times when we read a topic or post we DO NOT reply BUT we do think about what was said,keeping our own thoughts or opinions to ourselves.example.. WHAT IF JFK had served his FULL TERM, would the US involvement in vietnam been as depth? WHAT IF the forum did have a XXX section, would anyone pay 5p to see my "XXX" photos?

What if no one invented a plane,who knows someone might have invented something better. Its a bit like saying , if only,if only I wasn't speeding the car might have not rolled.No one can change the past events so why worry about them,as for the future what ifs,maybe we all have to wait and see.
