In the early hours of a February morning in 1986, Ferdinan and Imelda Marcos flew into exile. After 21 years as president of the Philippines, Marcos had rigged one too many elections. The army and everyone had turned against him. Philippino's ransacked the Presidential mansion and found thousands of shoes, diamonds, paintings, and to this day over $10 billion dollars is unaccounted for. And yet, knowing all of the history of the Marcos family you vote the son of a crook to become President of your country. So you think things will change? You don't think the Marcos family has kept names of people that went against them? Vengeance is the Marcos family. Imelda's LV bag is open, waiting for the money to flow in. You see, corruption never ends in the Philippines because you keep voting in corrupt leaders. Elections matter, and you chose to go in the same old direction of corruption. You see, we Americans still remember. We never forgive corrupt leaders.

However, America did the same thing. We voted in a corrupt family as President. We have the same problem here in the United States. However, we make corrections - quickly.
