"An Engrossing New Exposé in Three Parts on the Rise and Fall of Ferdinand Marcos A case study of how absolute power corrupts. SOLDIER - Ferdinand Marcos claims to be his country's most decorated soldier. He wasn't. But how did he get all those medals for bravery? STATESMAN - The Marcos presidency lasted for over 20 years. Most of it was marked by rampant corruption and human rights abuses. How did he get away with it for that long? SHAMAN - In addition to Marcos the soldier and statesman, there appears to be a sinister third personality that he tried to hide. Was this the real Marcos - a sorceror who believed he had supernatural powers?"
