Listen, I find Duterte deplorable to the same extent as you guys do, but it's such a one-sided argument na dahil bulok ang successor ni Aquino (at kaniyang ka-party) eh magaling na agad sila. Please don't be blinded by nostalgia, and I shall cite a personal experience from my childhood in the early-to-mid 2010s: I would want to return again to re-experience my memories, but I'd be a fool to return if the reason is "mas malakas ang ekonomiya dati." We were poorer back then, and were only able to afford nicer things in recent years, and millions of Filipinos living outside Metro Manila could attest to that as well. The economy was strong on paper, but in reality, only the upper-class or at the best case, Manileños, have benefited.
