	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Ferdinand Marcos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Ferdinand Marcos was born in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte to Mariano Marcos, a lawyer, and Josefa Edralin, a teacher.
		Marcos' subsequent claims of being an important leader in the Filipino guerrilla resistance movement were a central factor in his later political success, but U.S. government archives later revealed that he actually played little or no part in anti-Japanese activities during the war.
		Marcos' second term was marked by increasing civil strife known as the "First Quarter Storm." After a series of bombings in Manila claimed to have been carried out by the New People's Army of the Communist Party of the Philippines, Marcos warned of imminent Communist takeover.

	The Marcos cars 1959 - 2005

		Marcos claim that the GTS was released onto the UK market in response to the waiting list for the Lotus Elise, but it's hard to see Elise buyers being the natural candidates for the GTS as it is much more refined, but less no-compromise road racer than the Lotus and it is around £9,000 more!
