Bongbong Marcos wants to revise textbook version of dad's strongman rule; critics raise howl

MANILA - Despite legal proof of atrocities and ill-gotten wealth during his father's strongman rule, former senator Bongbong Marcos has called for a revision of Philippine textbooks, where his father's repressive regime is retold as a grim part of Philippine history.

"Nilagay nila sa libro, ng textbook ng mga bata na ganito, na ang mga Marcos ganito ang ninakaw, ganito ang ginawa. Ngayon lumalabas sa korte, hindi totoo lahat ng sinabi ninyo dahil hindi niyo naipakita,” he told reporters at a National Press Club forum in Manila, referring to several court decisions junking cases against them.

Instead, he wants history professors and political scientists to write these textbooks to encourage young children to participate in current affairs and not hate on certain people.The Marcoses have been acquitted in several graft and malversation cases and as of 2019, the Sandiganbayan and the Supreme Court have dismissed at least 20 of the 43 civil and forfeiture cases against them.

Rules and regulations of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, the SC said, consider as evidence of ill-gotten wealth if the value of accumulated assets, properties and material possessions is out of proportion to the known lawful income of the persons involved. For CHR’s De Guia, “the passage and enforcement of Republic Act 10368 in 2013 is the highest acknowledgement of the State that such transgressions happened under Marcos regime.”

Another human rights lawyer and one of the authors of RA 10368 Erin Tañada also blasted Marcos’ call to revise history books as a “desperate attempt by the Marcoses to erase the memory of the horrors of martial law and absolve the sins of their father.”

Sira ulo gusto mong baguhin ang history. Baka gusto mo ring burahin yung pag declare ng tatay mo ng martial law.

Another marcos lied today

👎No!NO!NO! Sino ang liar? All that happened during Marcos regime was true! GOD knows what he did to our countrymen! It was proven & the whole world knows about your ill-gotten wealth! 💰💰It will remain in our hearts, mind & soul forever! 🤔😡🤬🤯

The return of the Marcoses to power in such short a time is a consequence of the incompetence of the Aquinos and the Liberal Party. How could they let this happen? We had 2 President Aquinos who did nothing to fix the Philippines and make sure that the Marcoses never ruled again.

Wala na ginawa puro sa pamilya mo nalang ang pinag Lalaban mo .. sakim hanggang ngayon.. ikw lang nakinabang ang Mga pamilya mu Mga sakim...

Isn't this what they already do in Ilocos?

Lahat gusto mo irevise, from election results now to textbooks. Might as well revise your entire life?

🤮

Gago tong bongbong na to.
