'Le Monde' journalist Philippe Pons delves into his recollections of reporting on the fall of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

"I will never enter this palace again, but neither will they – the Marcoses. Never again." These words were spoken by Joyce, who was modestly dressed and shuffling in her rubber slippers, with her face wrinkled like an old apple under disheveled gray hair. She summed up what many Filipinos thought on the night of February 25, 1986.
A newspaper seller on a street adjacent to the presidential palace in Malacanang, she was lost in the early evening crowd outside the gates. Shortly after 10 pm, with a thunderous roar, two helicopters arrived at the presidential golf course and departed for the US base in Clark with Ferdinand Marcos, Imelda, their children and a few relatives on board.

Responsibility for their salaries, weapons and control fell to the army, police and, in practice, local officials. These forces thrived and so did killings, torture and enforced disappearances.
A quarter of a century later, an Aquino is back in the presidency and the vigilantes-however named-are sadly still with us. As a result of the November 2009 massacre of at least 57 people in Maguindanao province by mi
