I made a post on the previous writing general but posting a thread per se would garner more attention. Will you please give criticism for my writing? Tis for my grade 10 speech writing.

>fucked up mechanics

Recommendations/ideas for humor would be much appreciated. I've been awake for 20 hours now, pardon my messy writing.

>As the next Philippine presidential election is nearing its commencement, we must reflect on history to guide our thought process as to which candidate is worthy to vote for. Let me begin by telling you a very brief story of when the Philippines was under the rule of a man, a dictator and a scumbag named Ferdinand Marcos. Ferdinand Marcos was the 10th president of the Philippines whose 2-decade long regime is characterized of barbarity, prosperity and decay. Up to this day, he is popular for pursuing grandacious urbanization projects such as, in no conceivable order, the boring north Luzon expressway, the plebeian cultural center of the Philippines complex, the secretly cannibalistic Philippine heart center, the Philippine international convention center, the magnificent san Juanico bridge whose foundation is rumored to be founded with the blood of slum children! These are undeniably monumental contributions to the industrialization of the Philippines, Funded, however, by an almost comedic amount of international loans. As the tax revenue became insufficient to cover for the materialization of his marvelous ideas, Marcos began borrowing preposterous amounts of money from international lenders, resulting in a gigantic leap of external debt from US$2.3 billion in 1970 to US$26.2 billion in 1985, making the Philippines one of the most indebted countries in Asia, more indebt than I am to my former classmate who I borrowed 100 pesos from and had never returned it since, it almost dishonors the listener. This started a shameless cycle of debt-financed spending that the Marcos government would continue until Ferdinand Marcos was ultimately brought down by the EDSA revolution in 1986. It shouldn’t be omitted that the aftermaths of said extravagance is still felt up to this day in forms of economic instability and foreign debts.
Going back to 1971, A godforsaken combination of a devastating chain of deadly bombings in plaza Miranda and the emergence of the communist party urged Marcos to declare martial law on the night of September 21 1972. Brutality in every attitude followed, throats were slit as severe violations of human rights including torture, killings, salvagings, civilian massacres and other atrocities were committed against Philippines and her people, a sinister period which would effectively last for 14 years until Marcos’ escape to Hawaii, subsequent to the aforementioned EDSA revolution.

In a book, highly respected author Curtis Yarvin argues that without colonization most of the African population would have been wiped out by very simple diseases and flus. Since they never would have developed modern medicine on their own or harvested the resources to trade for it, are the colonized countries of Africa in massive debt to their colonizers? Couldn't similar arguments be used to refute the calls for restitution among African Americans?
