don't forget the US-backed Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr.. he oversaw a borderline ethnic cleansing campaign against moro muslims in mindanao, had thousands tortured and killed and sometimes had their mutilated bodies strewn on public areas(this is what we call salvaging), created an oligarchy that lives on today and, with his wife and children and billions of public funds, was flown out of the country by orders of Reagan when his regime was toppled by the 1986 revolution.

and now his son, who continues to deny his father's crimes and refuse to return the billions they stole from us, is president.
