BONGBONG MARCOS IS A LIAR
“Bong-bong is a liar. He lied over the massive human rights abuses
during the Marcoses’ reign. He lied and feigned ignorance over the billions of
ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses. He is the executor of the Marcos estate,”
Colmenares, who is a Martial Law victim himself, said.
Senator Bongbong Marcos confirmed he had a direct hand in trying to
withdraw US$213M from a Swiss bank in 1986:
A group of educators, including professors from University of the
Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo de Manila University and De La
Salle University, released a statement on Tuesday in response to the claims of
Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on his father’s regime.
“Sa ganitong diwa, dapat magkaisa ang mga edukador at lahat ng
mamamayan laban sa maling bersyon ng kasaysayan na ipinakakalat ni Ferdinand,
Jr. at ng kanyang mga kaalyado. Malinaw ang mga pahina ng ating kasaysayan:
mandarambong, human rights violator at tiwali ang diktadurang Marcos,” the
statement read.
Golden Age of Martial Law?
The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) belied the claim
of Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr that the government was at fault for
not releasing compensation to martial law victims.
Marcos said during the Commission on Elections-organized vice
presidential debate on April 10 that the government was the one hindering the
release of compensation for human rights victims during the time of his father,
the late dictator President Ferdinand Marcos.
However, according to the records released by the PCGG to the media
this week, it was Marcos Jr “who took the lead to prevent the early award of
the Arelma funds to the Filipino people.”
“Kapag hindi minana ng anak ang mga kasalanan ng ama, bakit niya
minana ang ninakaw?”
Bongbong lies that he is no longer a defendant in the PCGG pursuit of
Marcos ill-gotten wealth
Bongbong lies in his resume about his Oxford “degree”
The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo on Tuesday berated the legal
team of former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. for spreading “wrong and self-serving information” to bolster their electoral
protest.
This, after Marcos spokesperson Victor Rodriguez claimed that data
found Monday in 13 supposedly unused SD cards and vote counting machines (VCMs)
strengthens their position that there was cheating in the May 2016 elections.
Lawyer Romulo Macalintal, Robredo's lead counsel, said the Marcos camp
was merely “dreaming or hallucinating” when they claimed the 13 SD
cards are evidence of massive electoral fraud.
“The data from some of these 13 SD cards have not yet been
decrypted, meaning they are still in encrypted form and have not yet been
converted to its original form for an ordinary layman to understand their full
contents,” he reasoned.
“The camp of Marcos must have a bionic mind or bionic eyes to be
able to read these encrypted data and immediately claim that there were
electoral frauds committed in the said election.”
Bongbong manufactures witness affidavit in poll protest
Mr. Marcos on Monday asked the Supreme Court (SC), acting as the
Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET), to uphold its ruling on a 50% shading
threshold in the ballots, citing that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) did
not state that it imposed a 25% threshold rule during the 2016 elections.
“That’s not true. They (Comelec) used a 50% threshold in 2010, but it
was 20% in 2013. It was 25% for 2016…. He is lying because records will show [it],”
Ms. Robredo said.

ANWAR IBRAHIM MEETS BONGBONG MARCOS: ‘MONEY MUST BE RETURNED’
ReplyDeleteMANILA, Philippines — Malaysia’s next prime minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday rejected the granting of amnesty to officials involved in graft and ill-gotten wealth, saying there is “no forgiveness for stealing public funds.”
“If you have evidence that money was squandered, the money has to be returned,” Ibrahim said at a press conference after his speech at the Management Association of the Philippines’ International CEO Conference where he was asked if he would give to the Marcos family the same advice he gave to the Najib family.
Ibrahim met with former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., son of the dictator, after he delivered his speech that stressed the importance of “democratic accountability.”
He had advised former premier Najib Razak to get a good lawyer in the largest scandal he is facing.
“I forgave (former prime minister) Najib yes, but what he stole from the country he has to return,” Ibrahim said.
“When it comes to public funds or you inflict harm to others, there must be legal process. The funds, if proven (stolen), must be returned, otherwise it is a dent in the rule of law and democracy,” he added. “It’s the people who suffer, the poor, the downtrodden. We can’t forget that. It’s their funds too.”

POLITICAL MORALITY
ReplyDeleteThe moral dimension of politics is poorly addressed in our education system, yet political actions have the capacity to inflict grave and far-reaching moral evil affecting millions and millions. Morality that is taught in our private Roman Catholic schools in particular focuses on the moral actions of the individual and generally neglects to take up the morality of political actions that affect many millions. Politics has far-reaching, dramatic, life-altering effects on masses of people so that political morality demonstrates a structural character. Politics is the enabler and perpetrator of social sin. It is according to this aspect that politics strikes at the very core of our moral life, competing directly with individual allegiance to God's law.

Marcos did not eradicate corruption, contrary to what Duterte implied. Marcos centralized it: he decided who can steal with impunity among his officials and cronies, but he made sure he got the lion’s share. He stole enough to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records.

House Bill 7137 declaring Sept 11 as Marcos holiday is a gross disrespect to all victims of the dictator’s atrocities, including the rape survivors under his regime. This legislature (save for the 9 who voted against) will go down in history as traitors to the Filipino people.

AN INSULT TO ILOCANOS
By: Solita Callas-Monsod - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:06 AM September 05, 2020
Our Congress is passing a bill declaring Sept. 11 as President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Day in Ilocos Norte. And with no debate whatsoever. Words fail me. Do the Germans/Austrians celebrate an Adolf Hitler Day anywhere in Germany, or in Braunau am Inn in Austria? Do the Italians celebrate a Benito Mussolini in Predappio, Italy?
We not only will be the LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WORLD, [all capitals mine] which held us in the highest respect when we overthrew the dictator peacefully and became a role model for all other similar movements to follow, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, but we will also have pissed on the face of Ninoy Aquino and all the victims of martial law, as well as on our faces—the victims of Marcos’ plunder—for which we had to suffer for almost 16 years before we could regain our former per capita income.
…Now, about this “he is a hero to Ilocos Norte and to most Ilocanos all over the world”: What is the basis of that statement of Senator Sotto? It actually is an insult to Ilocanos. Are they not Filipinos first? Did they not see the devastation that Marcos brought on the Philippines? Did they not witness how he tried to keep himself in power even after 20 years?
So, the dictator Marcos did a lot for Ilocos while he was president. Does that more than compensate for what evil he wreaked on the Filipino people? The Ilocanos are not dumb. And I am sure they are Filipinos first.
My father was an Ilocano (born in Abra, raised in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur) who thought the world of Ferdinand Marcos. He was a journalist with the Philippines Free Press and wrote articles defending the young Marcos who was accused of killing his father’s opponent (Julio Nalundasan). He was struck by Marcos’ brilliance and his potential, and was his personal friend. He chose then Senate President Marcos to be a principal sponsor at my wedding (he came, and charmed me, too).
But when President Marcos declared martial law, my father brought me every day to the Supreme Court to hear the martial law case against Marcos. And I remember him sighing, and saying, “if I knew then that he would do this to the Filipino people, I would never have defended him.”
That’s the kind of Ilocano I know. A Filipino first. And someone who would evaluate Marcos not just on the basis of a few, or even many, scraps thrown his way. And I am half-Ilocano. And proud of it. But I am a Filipino first. As I said, Senator Sotto insults the Ilocanos.

When I was 18, I was tortured and imprisoned by Marcos for 4 years because I criticized him for banning student councils. Many Ilocanos were also imprisoned then. We cannot celebrate the birth of a man who imprisoned and tortured Filipinos. This is adding injustice to our pain.
