A Marcosian game of thrones

After the Americans overthrew the strongman Marcos in 1986 and installed a weakling called Cory to replace him, our Japanese friends at JICA were the first to point out that the Americans were actually setting the Philippines up for failure. If the Americans really wanted to improve the situation in the Philippines, why get a clueless inexperienced and weak-headed housewife as the new president? Logically, if the Americans really wanted what was best for the Philippines, they should have gotten someone even more technocratic and politically savvy person than Marcos. From 1986 onward, the Philippines went downhill becoming the unrivaled super-kulelat of Asia. The Japanese were right all along.

Given the lies that Americans have been peddling to us for more than a century now, there's really no reason to trust more of their lies. The evil American albinos never really meant well. We have better chance at recovering the Yamashita gold thru the help of Japan than thru any evil American albino.
