Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The Philippines' turn for the worse began in the late 1960s, fueled in part by the actions of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who squandered billions of dollars on himself, his friends, and family while failing to invest in education, health care, infrastructure, and other activities that promote development. This is an example of crony capitalism.
