WI: Third Republic of the Philippines continues up to 2009

What if the Philippine Third Republic continues up to the present day (with the 1935 Constitution still in place, no Martial Law, no New People's Army)? You can share your ideas in this thread.
 
First, you'd have to butterfly Marcos. The man who wrote a thesis on the application of corporatism in the Philippines, and practiced it OTL, will not let minor things like term limits and constitutions get in the way of a recreation of either Duplessis' QC or Franco's Spain, depending on your POV. Like GMA today, if you have the tacit consent of the Church, business and the rank and file military (unlike GMA, which is why she can't use 1072), everything else is so much wasted ink ;). GMA wants to pick her retirement date, Marcos wanted to create a corporatist society and enjoy a comfortable Swiss retirement.
