When the people are actually in favor of your methods, why would you need to grab power? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to me that When the people are still in favor of your methods IS the time to grab power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we are really lucky that every president doesn't grab power instantly after being elected according to that reasoning? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say only presidents like Marcos and those who studied and try to copy his methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 By the stories that come out after each president is done their term, I would say they have all grabbed that power... They just neglected to tell anybody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the "lawless" ones. That's what former President Marcos did and he is still being blamed for it. So, get ready for Martial Law. It may or not be called "Martial Law" but when the military joins the police in bringing law and order, that's Martial Law. The People of the Philippines do not like to be disciplined.

Living in a 3rd world country is enjoyable and interesting on one side and deathly frightening on the other. Ya just don't know what might happen. Worst yet is that China is just sitting out there - maybe waiting to pick up the pieces??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope that action is something we can live with without having to evacuate the country. I wonder just how many of us really would leave if our respective home countries ordered an evacuation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this weekend they will be running without a break to catch their wind... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
