“Secretary. Manny mentioned, the golden age of infrastructure,” he acknowledged.
“Well, huwag natin patapusin ‘yung golden age of infrastructure,’ he urged the people in the audience. “Ipagpatuloy natin ang golden age of infrastructure ngayon dahil naman kailangan na kailangan ng ating mga kababayan,” he said. However, records show that the President’s father’s supposed ‘golden era’ was marred with rampant corruption and cronyism.According to World Bank and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, public funds between $5 billion and $10 billion were stolen from the country’s coffers during the leadership of Marcos Sr.It went from $0.36 billion in 1961 to $28.26 billion in 1986.
“Our debts explain the growth, especially in infrastructure, primarily touted by some to assess the economic gains of the Marcos regime,” read the data from the Museum.
