Here is a note for innocent young people: Marcos was held up in Malacanang Palace and then kidnapped in a U.S. military helicopter by the U.S. Marines. They brought him first to Clark Airbase and from there to Guam in a C-130, while a few hundred thousand Filipinos lined EDSA from Ortigas to Cubao, miles away from the palace. Only after the Cardinal had delivered the biggest lie on radio, more and more people left EDSA and rushed to the Palace to ransack and bring home whatever they could grab. That was maybe the worst case of U.S. foreign intervention, officially recorded on May 6, 1986 in the U.S. House of Representatives under “Costs of removing President Ferdinand Marcos from office.” General Singlaub was the one who presented the budget and it was approved! Among others, millions and millions of dollars for “envelopmental journalism”, distributed daily in Hobbit House, in Malate. That was the start of “news for sale”, something that is daily practice in mass media now.
