Sen. Imee Marcos on Wednesday said their family is to blame for the Philippines' divided stance on the rule of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
MANILA - Sen. Imee Marcos on Wednesday said their family is to blame for the Philippines' divided stance on the rule of Ferdinand Marcos, noting that they did not adequately explain their side of the story.
"Noong panahon na 'yun, hindi din ako mulat na mulat, teenager, iba ang pinagkakaabalahan mo. Pasok ka sa school, mga friends mo. Ganun lang kababawan, hindi mo din alam [ang nangyayari]," said Marcos' eldest daughter, who was 10 years old when her father rose to power. After the Marcos patriarch died in 1989, his family ended their exile in the United States and returned to the Philippines to re-establish themselves in the political landscape.
"Timbangin na natin doon sa facts pero wag naman yung mga fake facts. Ayoko nun," said Marcos, who has been accused of falsifying her diploma and graduation from the University of the Philippines. "Pati 'yung nanay ko kinukulit ko. Ninety-two-years old na 'yung nanay ko. Sabi ko, 'Magsulat ka, magkuwento ka.' Sabi niya, 'Lagi naman tayong binibira, 'wag na lang,'" she said.
