"The words of two Filipino leaders come back to haunt. One is Ferdinand Marcos saying when he first became president: “This country can be great again.” And two is Manuel Quezon saying when he fought for independence: “I’d rather see the country run like hell by Filipinos than like heaven by the Americans.” Marcos was wrong: This country became miserable again, no small thanks to him and his clone, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. And Quezon, well, he got his wish."
