Marcos called out by 1Sambayan: ‘Stop lies, historical distortions’ READ:
Opposition coalition 1Sambayan on Tuesday, Oct. 5, called out former Senator Bongbong Marcos, the son of the late President Ferdinand Marcos and who announced his presidential bid, to stop distorting the truth about the dark days of his family’s Martial Law era.Marcos announced his candidacy for president in the 2022 polls, 35 years after his family left the country in the throes of a people-backed military revolt that ended his father’s almost 21 years in power.
According the 1Sambayan, the Marcos family plundered the nation’s coffers, with at least two landmark cases won by the Republic against them “ that put on record the unconscionable amounts of money stolen from the people.”1Sambayan mentioned the $658 million or P32.9 billion in Swiss bank accounts in the 2003 case of Republic v. Sandiganbayan against the Marcos family and the 2012 consolidated cases of Marcos Jr. v. Republic and Imelda Marcos v. Republic that amounted to $3.
1Sambayan averred that Marcos’ attempt to revise the historical accounts “through the use of paid internet trolls and the exploitation of the flaws of social media” is “yet another heinous crime.” “Do not be deceived by paid internet trolls who peddle lies after lies, so that what happened during the Marcos era will not repeat itself at your time,” it added.While plundering the nation’s coffers is an atrocity to the people, 1Sambayan said that it was “just the tip of the iceberg.”
