Marcos remains in PH, not Ramos, sorry!the Marcos Museum at tacloban
Marcos remains were brought back to the Philippines, sorry for using the name Ramos.
Mrs.Marcos, the lady welknown of here excentric number of shoes and jewelries, is still alive and restarted shortly here society live in Manila.Here son Marcos jr.is active in the Congress.
Mrs.Marcos has a Museum in Tacloban ,island Leyte,where here roots are.
see pictures.You are allowed , when y visit Tacloban city, to enter the Museum and to take pictures.No problem.Give them a little tip.The ball room is very beautiful as well as the long dinning tables and Delfts BLUE porcelain
The number of bedrooms for them and here children is impressive as well as the number of bathrooms they used.The Museum is almost a Castle.You will notice this inside.
When y take the plane from Manila or from Cebu y will get there in a couple of hours.Tacloban airport is consumer friendly, but not well equiped. Only one landing strip for in/out.
The peoples are very friendly and Tacloban is a nice city, more a big village with a nice harbour were you can take the boat( ferry) to Samar island or the bridge to Samar, but a buss trip is exhaustive and the drivers are and have to be real experts in avoiding bad road parts.It is like a Boom ng Boom in X-mas period.A trip to manila by buss will cost you one full day and a night at least.You need to have a strong stomach.next to Tacloban, nearer to the Airport is Brg.Bay Bay with a beautiful fish restaurant, ask the pedicab driver.When you go further the road down into the Brg. then you will see VICMAR resort to the right and to the left the sea and their restaurant.A Baptisma dinner you can take in the cabins( small open houses) in the restaurant area near to the sea ( where you can swim, private area.) A marriage party next to the sea is to be preferred.The Lapu-Lapu fish is excellent.( just book in advance, not a la carte).
In Tacloban you can take the trycycle or Spider( a small yellow half open-taxicab)
for a sight seeing tour and to visit the landings place of General Mc.Arthur ,the USA commander who defeated the Japanese on four different places with help of Philippines Forces.
Marcos wife Esmalda(?) did a lot for here city Tacloban ,the same as President Mrs.Arroyo is doing for 8 years already with Pampanga, examples are:Tarlac expressway, Clark airport and Clark Zone ( the former USA airport ),SM Mall Clark,New Expressway to northern Luzon, and so on.All economic infrastructure for wealthy peoples and for their cars or USA cars, not for the trycycle or pedycab man and not for the bycycle man or the walker.Walking in this country is really a death of alive matter.Nothing is done by here Government to help the poor who have to walk, and if you are lucky to get older than it is really a drama, you can hardly walk and no place for handicapped peoples.They better stay at home or die.
The differences between poor and rich are disgusting.
Only some Presidents helped these groups, the big majority did not.
By the way ,the belongings of the Marcos family are confiscated to the PH, so the Museum is state-owned,the jewelries and other valuable belongings are sold by the government .Several suitcases are still pending.Several belongings are abroad in Hawaii,USA and Unknown places.
Enough about the Marcos period.
No doubt his son will try to do good things in Congress.
God bless PH.
We wish you all Happy New Year and New Years Eve this coming night.
