Aside from commemorating the gruesome Twin Tower bombing, September 11 is the birthday of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, but netizens seem to celebrate it in a very different way…

On Friday, September 11, 103^rd birthday of the late President Ferdinand Marcos, netizens made noise on Twitter as #ArawNgMagnanakaw became a trend in the Philippines, with folks expressing different opinions against the dictator who was known for placing the entire country under martial law in 1972 until the first half of ‘80s

In case you didn't know (or you do and just having a hard time to accept the fact), Ferdinand Marcos currently holds a Guiness World record for "Greatest Robbery of a Government."

"The government of the Philippines announced on 23 April 1986 that it had succeeded in identifying U.S. $860.8 million (£569.5 million) salted away by the former President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos (1917–1989) and his wife Imelda. The total national loss from November 1965 was believed to be U.S. $5 to $10 billion," says on the website.

Marcos's wife, Imelda Marcos, was also found guilty of corruption in 1993 but then was cleared of charges in 1998 after an appeal, according to the Guinness website. And in August 2019, Imelda was convicted of graft for using her position as Minister of Human Settlements to maintain Swiss bank accounts during her husband Ferdinand Marcos' regime. But then, she evaded getting imprisoned by posting a bail of P300,000.

Netizens on Twitter shared different opinions about the late president while others remembered the bad events during his term.

Ferdinand Marcos also occupies the Top 2 spot on Forbes' list of "The World's All-Time Most Corrupt Leaders." While another former Philippine president, Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada, takes the 10th spot with an estimated U.S. $78 million to U.S. $80 million embezzled from the nation.
