In ancient China, there was a saying that "it takes three years to clear the magistrate, and a hundred thousand snowflakes are silver", so in ancient times, promoting to a higher position became the biggest motivation for being an official. This has undoubtedly become the goal of many China people and even overseas Chinese. Since modern times, many China people have been attacking politics after going overseas. So in many countries, there are many powerful politicians in China, even presidents, prime ministers, prime ministers and so on. In Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, the whole politics is even taken over by Chinese, and some Chinese presidents also accumulate property after taking office. The most typical president was in office for 2 1 year, embezzled tens of billions of dollars, went into exile, and thought he was from China.

This president is the famous President Marcos in Philippine history. Marcos 19 17 was born in a very poor family in the Philippines. His mother is a primary school teacher and his father runs a grocery store. The Philippines remains a colony of the United States. To this end, Marcos was determined to change his destiny from an early age.

He thought the army was the greatest force, so 24-year-old Marcos joined the army under the control of the United States at that time, starting as a second lieutenant intelligence officer. Thanks to his wit and courage, he was quickly promoted. Moreover, he was outstanding in the Battle of Bataan and was soon promoted to the Military Advocate General of the Second Division of the Philippine Army. He was highly valued by MacArthur, the highest commander of the US military at that time, and was appointed as the governor of eight northern Luzon provinces, which had a great influence on the military and Philippine politics.

After independence, the Philippines is still controlled by the United States. Therefore, with the support of the United States, Marcos quickly entered the political arena, established the Philippine version of the People's Party, and became a leader. 1965, 48-year-old Marcos was successfully elected president of the Philippines in that year's presidential election and has been in power for more than 20 years.

Because of the control of the army and the support of the United States, it actually became a real power figure in the Philippines. To this end, after Marcos took office, he constantly strengthened his power rule, constantly cracked down on other political parties and political enemies, and relied heavily on the United States. Therefore, he was re-elected in the subsequent general election, and his long-term administration made Marcos the master of the country and he could do whatever he wanted.

His relatives and family members basically entered the top, took control of the country, publicly collected money, and took control of the core departments of banking, transportation, commerce, oil and so on in the Philippines. Even when he was in power for 20 years, he actually worked as a businessman for more than 20 years, and the whole country became the object of his plunder. And every overseas transaction, even President Marcos will win.

So in just 20 years, Marcos has accumulated huge wealth. At that time, China's foreign exchange reserves were only $300 million, the Philippine GDP was only tens of billions, but Marcos's wealth was more than $25 billion. Aquino was overthrown by a coup in 1986 because of election fraud and assassination. At that time, Marcos was exiled to Hawaii with his family and 25 billion dollars.

At that time, when Hawaii Customs counted its personal finances, there was a 2,300-page list of assets, which showed how rich it was. In addition, Marcos also owns 4,500 mu of real estate, 5,000 mu of land, 23 farms, 240 enterprises, and even more than 50 TV stations and radio stations ... with countless assets, it has huge deposits in the United States, Japan, Europe, Indonesia and other countries.

When he went to the United States, he had several tons of gold and/kloc-0 billion dollars in cash, as well as dozens of private planes and yachts ... His house was gorgeous to the extreme ... It can be said that Marcos was the biggest corrupt president in the history of the Philippines, and almost all the wealth of the whole country was in his own hands.

Nevertheless, Marcos had a very good relationship with China during his reign. He not only established diplomatic relations with China first, but also visited China many times, and even strengthened economic and trade exchanges and assistance with China. Many people don't understand why. Marcos admits that he is actually from China, and his mother is a descendant of China from Fujian. Therefore, Marcos has also become the most successful and corrupt Chinese president among overseas Chinese, a record that no one can break so far.
