Ferdinand Marcos (10th President) He's the only president to make peso equal to dollars. 1 peso = 1 US dollar. - hatcher234 The Philippine Strongman. In his time, our economy, though not anymore the 2nd richest country in Asia, was very progressive with the many infrastructural development in the Philippines.



It was necessary for him to declare martial law to prevent the Philippines from being communist and to discipline the Filipinos.



In 1986, the Philippines' downfall started. It became poor thanks to a housewife with no political experience being the Filipino president. Now, Benigno Aquino is the pres. Of the Philippines, wait for his incompetence!



Marcos shall be recognized as the Philippines' greatest president. The Philippines met its downfall when we became buried with Marcos' debts. The consequences of his nasty reign as president came up after he was removed by the people in power. - crockydyle I know he's corrupt and dictatorial, but still he was the one who made effective reforms and boosted our economy. He also enforced discipline and yes, fear, in every heart of the Filipino. But that helped somehow. Markus parin mga olol! V 691 Comments

Benigno Aquino III (15th President) Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Cojuangco Aquino III (born February 8, 1960) is a Filipino politician who served as the 15th President of the Philippines from 2010 until 2016. Blaming others for the misfortunes of his government and taking credit for projects he did not make Full of blame to his predecessor to cover his failures. It's useless because Filipinos knew the truth. Knock your punk (PANOT) head. Worst President of the Philippines For me Best President hindi pakitang Tao at walang bahid ng corruption. Yun kasi mahalaga para umunlad and kaban ng bayan. V 110 Comments

Rodrigo Duterte (16th President) Rodrigo "Rody" Roa Duterte, also known by the nickname Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan descent who is the President-elect of the Philippines after topping the official Congressional canvass for the 2016 election. No doubt he was the best Philippine President of all time... He has quick action whatever the program he wants for the goodness to all Filipinos of this country... The only president who is truly independent, fearless, loyal to the Filipinos' ideals and aspirations; one who believes in his people's abilities to work for their own progress and prosperity independent of external help. Long live Duterte, the hope and savior of the Filipinos, their survival and a guaranteed future of the youth. He should be 1st because he is the only president who focuses on all big problems in this country one at a time and sometimes simultaneously like being friends with Russia and China and balance the foreign policy of the country so america wont get special treatment and also constructing large infrastructures on other places outside the capital, he also gets a lot of investments from countries like china, japan and russia and also some debts that is going to fund the agriculture department. He is also one of the only presidents who gave REAL CHANGES to the country the other president who gave this country change was Ferdinand Marcos. Aside from apo.. he is the man. V 175 Comments

Ramon Magsaysay (7th President) The makamasa president, exemplary leader, no nepotism in the goverment, e real and selfless public servant! The first Philippine president to wear a barong tagalog in his inauguration. He was a very humble President who helped many people. He was a selfless public servant who served his people especially the poor. For me he is the best

(My opinion)

Because:

he declare the Presidential Assistant on Community Development(PACD)That gives the farmer a better help.

he also agree to the Bell Trade Act even if this agreement is still not fair for the filipinos,but he also did that for the philippines he agreed at Bell Trade Act for the americans to give us money for rehabilitating the phillipines(PHILIPPINE REHABILITATION ACT) V 47 Comments

Manuel L. Quezon (2nd President) He did not allow Philippines to be a part of the U.S.A. but a commonwealth country separated from the states. He deserves to be on top of the one who sold the entire country to the enemeis True nationalist who loves the Philippines. There's a reason why they call the american occupation as 40 years in Hollywood. It's because of him and Sergio, two of most prolific politicians of Philippine history. The best V 18 Comments

Emilio Aguinaldo (1st President) Emilio F. Aguinaldo (March 22, 1869 – February 6, 1964) was a Filipino revolutionary, politician, and a military leader who is officially recognized as the first and the youngest President of the Philippines and first president of a constitutional republic in Asia. He led Philippine forces first against ...read more. He was a young patriot who help built our so called Philippine Republic gave us the identity of a "Filipino" not as Indio, design the flag, propose our national athem, our army. He & his compatriots fought during the revolution that gave us many victories in major battles...leaving us a legacy that cannot be broken. Despites his outstanding contribution for the nation, we was called a traitor by others even historians who envyed his accomplishment~ always in cycle he was blamed for the death of Bonifacio & Luna (whom had never been eager enough to learn & understand his story and struggles during those chaotic time). He sacrifice his wealth, youth, time, talents, sweat & blood even his name. So that our generations and the next may able to enjoy ourselves on our own land owned by our race. If not because of him we don't have a Republic right now and a Free country Only that I can say... People forget the mistakes he made was due to the fact he was only 29 years old. He did not want Bonifacio killed but the elite democracy voted for him to make the order. There also is no proof of his scheming to have Luna assassinated as well. He gave us independence, the first Asian constitutional republic, and the first to declare war against a foreign power during the Philippine-American War. Not to mention, he was intelligent and a great military leader. He is one of my favorite Presidents here in the Philippines! #MABUHAY SI GENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO Y FAMY! 😎😎😎😎😎😎 V 48 Comments

Sergio Osmeña (4th President) Ode wow Benigno heis not a good president eevveerr... He's a very gentleman president. To know more about him. Why not read about the presidents in malacanang.gov.ph

Manuel Roxas (5th President) He is so not great Manuel Roxas is the best president. O,I forgot.In the opposite!

Jose P. Laurel (3rd President) Best president in his time! He made agreement with the Japanese to avoid further bloodsheds. The Japanese were supposed to liberate us from U.S colonialism. But those cowards (U.S.A) dropped the nuke at civilians. Which is inhumane and evil. Read history Because he is good president for me

Carlos P. Garcia (8th President) 10 It's about time to re-assess the Filipino first culture, a distinct and self-progressive country. We need to revive the FILIPINO FIRST POLICY. In that way, Filipinos can control the economic growth and not influenced by other nationalities and also not to benefit a few Filipinos. The first ever President who thought of Filipinos well being first... Thus, the " Filipino-First" policy Oh what could have been? It seemed like Garcia had a vision for a more domestic sufficient country. A far cry from the current state of the republic. A true nationalist peace loving president of the Philippines!

The Contenders

Corazon Aquino (11th President) Maria Corazon "Cory" Sumulong Aquino, popularly known as Cory Aquino, was a Filipina politician who was the 11th President of the Philippines, the first woman to hold that office and the first female president in Asia. 11 She's not the best... she's not even considered as a pure Filipino for me.. her loyalty belongs to China.. RIGHT? If it wasn't for this degenerate, Philippines would have still been great. She didn't run for the country, she ran for revenge. All she ever did was nothing. Democracy was already established in Philippines. I've wondered how she got the icon of Democracy. Fueled by her greed! She is the best V 34 Comments

Andres Bonifacio (1st President [unofficial]) 12 Setting our country free from the Spain is more than any reforms and programs of our presidents because he has the will to abolish force labor, torture, sufferings, colonial rule, etc, but was killed by Aguinaldo and his men. Aguinaldo deserves to be the vice president He must be considered the first President. Aguinaldo is a traitor and the head of Bonifacio's assassination and Luna's. Aguinaldo is a dictator. He was the real deal. He was cheated on by votes during the election of presidency between Aguinaldo. When Aguinaldo knew that he was going to be a threat to him. Aguinaldo killed him and his brother, Procopio He is not even an official president of a country he never even liberated a province... he was only a president of a organization... the Katipunan on which never even recognized as a country.. they are only a league of councils.

Don't be blind open your eyes and you will see the lots of changes in our country But a lots of irregularities in every budget... You should open your eyes Arroyo, because she made a terminal (2001-2010) GDP growth which was higher than Marcos's. Media needed a scapegoat and needed to point their camera of blame to her. What she's done for the country was very much downplayed and the controversies blown out of proportion. Media just makes negative thinkers/positive thinkers out of the things they show/repeatedly say to people. They owe something to the Aquinos, that much is true. And GMA has snubbed their pettiness so she got bad coverage throughout her term. The president that I idolize and got latch out by some ignorant opposition.. I consider her the best because she reach regions that is barely reach by others. She think in advance and got duped by her allies.. She has issues but every president does have issues.. I hope she passed the ZTE deal unlike the monopolize internet in our country with super expensive internet but so slow in providing services.. V 26 Comments
