The way the living Marcoses talk about the late dictator is an interesting thing. On the one hand, those campaigning for Bongbong Marcos often like to say: “The sins of the father are not those

of the son,” which is a funny way of acknowledging that sins in fact had been committed, and that Bongbong is a different person from the dictator. And yet a lot of the social media campaigns I see that support Marcos Jr. frequently repeat that Bongbong will “continue the legacy of his father.” The infamous Toni Gonzaga interview somehow capitalizes on this loyalty to the father as well.

Overall, the Marcos siblings can’t seem to decide one consistent way they should handle the topic. While never admitting to the fact of extrajudicial killings, the suppression of press freedom, and ill-gotten wealth, they seem quite free with expressing admiration for whatever infrastructural improvement or economical gains came to be during the dictator’s term.
