    Don Mariano Marcos y Rubio (1897 – 1945)

     Father of Ferdinand Marcos


     A notable politician in the Ilocos region

    1. Identify the names of the streets of your hometown, who are these
    people?
    a. Don Mariano Avenue (From Don Mariano Marcos ) –

    Google Maps Location Link:


    https://goo.gl/maps/nbCfhGtA6ek9m8526

    - In terms of location, Don Mariano Avenue is the


    passthrough avenue towards our subdivision (just a few
    minute walk distance from our home) and is a pathway for
    vehicles from Angono to Antipolo and vice versa via Medalva
    Subdivision, Mahabang Parang or some other routes left
    available. It has been rehabilitated and maintained because
    of its high traffic demands and has been a familiar site to my
    eyes since I was 3 years old.
    - “Don Mariano” isn’t only used in this specific avenue for I
    have encountered streets and avenues alike having the
    same name, such as Don Mariano Avenue in Cainta, Rizal
    (near STI Main Campus, Ortigas – Cainta) and other
    locations within the Metro.
    - In terms of the person behind the avenue name, Don
    Mariano Marcos was the father of one of the most renowned
    Philippine Presidents in our history, Former President
    Ferdinand Marcos.
    -
    2. What have they done for the community? For the country?
    a. As details on current sources are vague and not thoroughly
    discussing his life and works, it could be said that Mariano Marcos
    was a prominent character in early politics of our history.
    b. Mariano Marcos alongside with his beloved Josefa Edralin-Marcos
    gave birth and raised their son who later became one of the
    presidents of our history which was known for his great plans for the
    nation but on the other hand, the cruel regime of Martial law,
    Ferdinand Marcos.

    3. Using the criteria of a hero, assess whether they answer the criteria
    of being a hero.
    Based on Criteria 1.
    - It could be noted that he has a strong foundation and has left
    a good reputable legacy in politics, some of the positions he
    held in government are the following:
    1. Became representative of the second district of Ilocos
    Norte
    2. Chairman of the Legislature
    3. Member of the public instruction of:
    a. public works,
    b. public estate
    c. mines and natural resources
    Based on Criterion 2
    - This is the part where he might be of reconsideration to
    being given the title as a hero, because two days after the
    Commonwealth Government Elections, Julio Nalundasan
    was hit in the head by a shot coming from a rifle which
    caused his immediate death. Mariano Marcos, his son
    Ferdinand, and his brother Pio were arrested after being
    accused as the spearhead of this crime.
    - Furthermore, the Marcos Regime of government has
    become one of the darkest phases of Philippine History,
    though it couldn’t be denied that his son has created projects
    for the betterment ofour country, Ferdinand also signed the
    Martial law that disrupted thousand, if not, millions of
    ordinary Filipino lives.
    Based on Criterion 3
    - He has left his legacy as his name is written in street,
    avenue, and major roadways around the nation. In addition
    to this, his name was used as the titles for two major state
    universities and different landmarks such as
    a. Mariano Marcos State University in Batac, Ilocos
    Norte
     In this university, a National Historical
    Marker was placed for his honor
    b. Mariano Marcos State University College of
    Education in Laoag City
    c. Marcos Town, a former part of Dingras, Ilocos
    Norte (made possible by RA 3753)
    Overall, in my perspective, though his participation and full-on contributions for
    the progressive stance of our republic is undeniable, his efforts and works are not
    sufficient to be even called to as a hero. The criteria also show that he isn’t
    eligible for that title for the reason being for being allegedly one of those who
    plotted the assassination of his fellow Filipino politician and is not a good image
    and history for a hero to hold.
