According to Manuel, there can’t be any reconciliation as long as Marcos’ family continues to whitewash history.
Meanwhile, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers Partylist and House Deputy Minority leader and Representative France Castro said that it was easy to talk about reconciliation and unity, but actions are needed. Bayan Muna chair and Martial Law survivor Neri Colmenares echoes Castro’s sentiments of needing concrete actions from Marcos to show sincerity. He even suggested that Marcos should cooperate with the International Criminal Court’s probe into the previous administration’s war on drugs.
