<b>The List of President Starting with President Ferdinand Marcos:</b><br />
<br />
<div>
<b>President Ferdinand Marcos</b> - 20 years of service (1965-1986)<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Total Amount of money Used during his term: <span style="color: red;">Php 486,273 Billion</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> His first term was marked with increased industrialization and the creation of solid infrastructure nationwide, such as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Luzon_Expressway">North Luzon Expressway</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharlika_Highway">Maharlika Highway</a>. Marcos did this by appointing a cabinet composed mostly of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocrat">technocrats</a> and intellectuals, by increasing funding to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_the_Philippines">Armed Forces</a>, and mobilizing them to help in construction. Marcos also established schools and learning institutions nationwide, more than of his predecessors combined. Marcos also sent 10,450 Filipino soldiers to Vietnam during his term, under the PHILCAG (Philippine Civic Action Group).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
During the early years of Martial Law, the Philippine economy grew a significant amount, spurred by heavy borrowing from transnational banking companies and government-to-government loans. By 1980, however, the heavy burden of foreign debt servicing took its toll in the economy, and mismanagement of important industries due to crony capitalism led the economy to a downturn. The assassination of popular opposition leader Benigno Aquino in 1983 led to the pull-out of foreign capital from the country, resulting in negative GDP growth in 1983 and 1984.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
In 1976 President Marcos announced to the Filipino people his policy of establishing relations with communist countries such as the People's Republic of Chine (june 9, 1975) and the Soviet Union (June 2, 1976).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
Relations with the United States was modified. It was no longer based on the "sentemental ties" but on mutual respect for each other's national interest. Thus, the military and economic agreements between U.S. and the Philippines were amended to reflect this new relationship. In the amendments to the RP-U.S. Military Bases Agreement of 1947, the U.S. acknowledged the sovereignty of the Philippines over the American military bases in the country (Subic and Clark). These bases would have a Filipino commander and would fly the Philippine flag. IN addition, the U.S agreed to pay rentals to the Philippines for the use of the bases.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />
Marcos established closer ties with the Asian countries. The Philippines became a leading member of the Third-World – the collective name for the developing countries at that time. The Philippines actively participated in such world conferences as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) meeting held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1976 and in the International Meeting on "Cooperation and Development held by the heads of 21 nations in Cancun, Mexico, in 1981. <br />
<br />
Marcos took his oath of office on June 30, 1981 at the Luneta Park for a six-year term ending in 1987. On that occasion Marcos announced the establishment of a "New Republic of the Philippines".</span><br />

Ramos</a> spanned for six years from June 30, 1992 to June 30, 1998. At the time of his assumption into power, Fidel Ramos was the second oldest person - following <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Osme%C3%B1a">Sergio Osmeña</a> - to become <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_Philippines">President of the Philippines</a> at the age of 64.

<br />
The Philippine economy recovered dramatically during the years 1993-1997. Ramos vigorously implemented a comprehensive Social Reform Agenda (SRA) that addressed the long-standing problem of poverty: jobs and livelihood, health, education and skills training, housing, environmental protection, children and the youth, the elderly and the handicapped, agrarian reform, and access to equal opportunity. The country's Gross National Product (GNP) averaged 5 percent annually. Average income of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_people">Filipino</a> family grew larger during his administration than in the preceding two decades.

<b>President "Erap" Estrada</b> - 3 years of service (1998-2001)<br />
<i><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">No Total amount  Used Data</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Estrada was elected President in 1998 with a wide margin of votes separating him from the other challengers, and was sworn into the presidency on June 30, 1998. In 2000 he declared an "all-out-war" against the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moro_Islamic_Liberation_Front">Moro Islamic Liberation Front</a> and captured its headquarters and other camps. However, allegations of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption">corruption</a> spawned an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment">impeachment</a> trial in the Senate, and in 2001 Estrada was ousted by "People Power 2" after the prosecution walked out of the impeachment court when the Senator-Judges voted "no" in the opening of the second envelope. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDSA_2">EDSA 2</a> protests resulted from the concerted efforts of political, business, military, and church elites who were displeased by Estrada's policies that included removal of sovereign guarantees on government contracts. In October 2000, the Daily Tribune reported about elite plans to "'constitutionally' oust President Estrada under 'Oplan Excelsis." Emil Jurado of the Manila Standard reported as early as 1999 about a PR demolition work designed to embarrass Estrada "by attributing to his administration all sorts of perceived faults and scams with the end in view of covering up anomalies and scams also committed during the Ramos administration." Former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo also admitted in an interview with Nick Joaquin that he and then-Ilocos Sur Gov. Chavit Singson and certain military officials plotted plans to oust Estrada in January 2001, with the alternative "plan B" being violent "with orders to shoot. And not only in Metro Manila."<br />
<br />
In 2007, Estrada was sentenced by the special division of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandiganbayan">Sandiganbayan</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclusi%C3%B3n_perpetua">reclusión perpetua</a> for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embezzlement">plunder</a> of stealing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar">$</a>80 million from the government and was sentenced a lifetime in prison, but was later granted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon">pardon</a> by President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Macapagal-Arroyo">Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo</a>. He ran for president again in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Philippine_presidential_election">2010 presidential election</a>, but placed second behind Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino_III">Benigno Aquino III</a>.<br />

<b>President Gloria Arroyo</b> - 9 years of service (2001-2010)<br />
<i><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">No Total amount  Used Data</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The last quarter of 2000 up to the first week of January 2001 was a period of political and economic uncertainty for the Philippines. On January 16, 2001, the impeachment trial has also taken a new direction. Private prosecutors walked out of the trial when pro-Estrada senators prevented the opening of an evidence (a brown envelope) containing bank records allegedly owned by President Estrada. With the walk out, the impeachment trial was not completed and the Filipinos eventually took to the street to continue the clamor for President Estrada's resignation. From January 17 to 20, 2001, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_EDSA_Revolution">hundreds of thousands</a> of Filipinos gathered at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epifanio_de_los_Santos_Avenue">Epifanio de los Santos Avenue</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDSA_(road)">EDSA</a>), the site of the original <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Power_Revolution">People Power Revolution</a>. The clamor for a change in the presidency gained momentum as various sectors of Philippine society – professionals, students, artists, politicians, leftist and rightist groups – joined what became known as EDSA II. Officials of the administration, the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_the_Philippines">Armed Forces of the Philippines</a> (AFP), and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_National_Police">Philippine National Police</a> (PNP) also withdrew their support for President Estrada.<br />
<br />
Days after leaving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaca%C3%B1ang_Palace">Malacañang Palace</a>, President Estrada's lawyers questioned the legitimacy of Arroyo's presidency before the Supreme Court. He reiterated that he did not resign as president and that at most, Arroyo was just serving in an acting capacity. The high court, however, voted unanimously in upholding the legitimacy of Arroyo's succession. As a consequence, Estrada no longer enjoys immunity from charges being filed against him.<br />
<br />
In the last week of April 2001, the Sandiganbayan ordered the arrest of Estrada and his son, Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinggoy_Estrada">Jinggoy Estrada</a>, for plunder charges. A few days later, Estrada supporters protested his arrest, gathered at the EDSA Shrine, and staged what they called, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDSA_III">EDSA III</a> – comparing their actions to the People Power revolution of 1986 and January 2001.<br />
<br />
Thousands of protesters demanded the release of Estrada. Eventually, they also called for the ouster of Arroyo and the reinstatement of the former. On May 1, 2001, they marched towards Malacañang to force Arroyo to give in to their demands. Violence erupted when the protesters attempted to storm the presidential palace and the military and police were forced to use their arms to drive them back. Arroyo declared a state of rebellion because of the violence and prominent political personalities affiliated with Estrada were charged and arrested. The so-called EDSA III was the first serious political challenge to the Arroyo presidency.<br />
<br />
Arroyo, who earned a master's degree and doctorate in economics, made the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_Philippines">Philippine economy</a> the focus of her presidency. Annual economic growth in the Philippines averaged 4.5% during the Arroyo administration, expanding every quarter of her presidency. This is higher than in the administrations of her three immediate predecessors, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corazon_Aquino">Corazon Aquino</a>(3.8%), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Ramos">Fidel Ramos</a> (3.7%), and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Estrada">Joseph Estrada</a> (3.7%). The Philippine economy grew at its fastest pace in three decades in 2007, with real GDP growth exceeding 7%. The economy was one of the few to avoid contraction during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_(2007%E2%80%93present)">2008 global financial crisis</a>, faring better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities, lower dependence on exports, relatively resilient domestic consumption, large remittances from four-to five-million overseas Filipino workers, and a growing business process outsourcing industry. Arroyo's handling of the economy has earned praise from former US President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton">Bill Clinton</a>, who cited her "tough decisions" that put the Philippine economy back in shape. Despite this growth, the poverty rate remained stagnant due to a high population growth rate and uneven distribution of income.<br />
<br />
A controversial expanded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax">value added tax</a> (e-VAT) law, considered the centerpiece of the Arroyo administration's economic reform agenda, was implemented in November 2005, aiming to complement revenue-raising efforts that could plug the country's large budget deficit. Her administration originally set a target to balance the national budget by 2010, t. The tax measure boosted confidence in the government's fiscal capacity and helped to strengthen the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_peso">Philippine peso</a>, making it East Asia's best performing currency in 2005–06. The peso strengthened by nearly 20% in 2007, making it by far Asia's best performing currency for the year, a fact attributed to a combination of increased remittances from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Filipino_workers">overseas Filipino workers</a> and a strong domestic economy.<br />
<br />
Early in her presidency, Arroyo implemented a controversial policy of holiday economics, adjusting holidays to form longer weekends with the purpose of boosting domestic tourism and allowing Filipinos more time with their families.<br />

Former senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. had promised Malaysia in 1983 that the Philippines would drop its claim over Sabah in exchange for its support in the move to oust strongman Ferdinand Marcos, a former foreign affairs official revealed yesterday.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hermes Dorado, former national territory division head of the Department of Foreign Affairs, said Aquino met with then Malaysian Prime Minister Mohammad Mahathir before he went back to the Philippines and was assassinated on Aug. 21,1983.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dorado said there were no official records of the supposed meeting between Aquino<br />
and Mahathir, but said he “became privy to this bit of intelligence” from former<br />
ambassador and retired general Rafael Ileto.<br />
<br />
<br />
“General Ileto indirectly confirmed that Ninoy Aquino asked for help from Mahathir in exchange for dropping the Sabah claim when he gains power,” Dorado told a forum at the University of the Philippines in Quezon City.<br />

Marcos haters call him a theft, if he is a theft why he make Philippines on the TOP during his era. Compare to his successor Cory, Ramos, Erap, GMA and PNOY even we combined their term is more than enough compare to President Marcos.<br />

Maybe without Marcos Leyte and Samar will never be connected. And i know he helps you a lot maybe you are now using one of all his achievement. And one of those is the LRTA <i><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">(</span></span>Light Rail Transit Authority) </i>he created this on July 12, 1980.
