Ferdinand Marcos, the erstwhile President of the Philippines, must assume much of the blame for the tragic decline of that country. Helped by his influential wife Imelda, he imposed martial law in 1972 using imprisonment, torture, and murder to stifle opposition, meanwhile bleeding the country of funds and grinding the people into miserable poverty. Public outrage forced him to flee the country in 1986, leaving behind staggering poverty, pervasive corruption, and deep political divisions that constitute his bitter legacy.
