Julio nalundasan biography

On September 11, , Ferdinand Edralin Marcos was born in the small town of Sarrat, Ilocos Norte.

In the Marcos-authorized biography of the guy entitled Marcos of the Philippines: A Biography (), Ferdinand was born to Mariano Marcos and Josefa Edralin.

The author of the book was none other than a known American writer and the founder of the Yank, Army Weekly himself, Hartzell Spence. Reviews described it as too biased in the favor of Marcos.

From the book, Spence writes: 

In the East, which is characterized by patience and measures time in centuries rather than moments, man is inclined to wait for the coconuts to fall rather than to climb the tree and harvest them.

 Yet destiny has crowded Ferdinand E. Marcos without pause almost from his birth. 

And yet this “destiny” which Marcos loved to insert in all his speeches, is put into question when even his birth is plagued with controversy.
