Surrounded by fellow Ilokanos, including the chiefs of the country’s military and police forces, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday, September 11, paid tribute to his father and namesake, the late dictator Ferdinand Edralin Marcos.
Marcos Sr. has been a recurring figure in the second Marcos presidency – either intentional or incidental. “So as we remember and pay tribute to his memory, let this gathering serve as a testament to the unwavering pursuit of unity that he so passionately espoused for our people,” said Marcos, referring, too, to his 2022 campaign slogan. Marcos history
The Martial Law years under the first Marcos president were marred by human rights abuses, the shutdown of a free press, and millions of stolen government funds that to this day, are still being tracked down. Neither President Marcos nor his relatives have apologized for those dark years, although they have called for “unity” amid the scars left by the Marcos dictatorship.
