The UP Department of History says former senator Bongbong Marcos' call is nothing but an attempt 'to continue covering up the countless human rights violations and corruption' during his late father's dictatorship.

, which Bongbong Marcos would use to bolster his attempt to reinstate his family in Malacañang in the 2022 presidential elections, the professors said.

Accounts should include the era’s economic crisis and widespread poverty, repression of civil rights especially free speech, rise in criminality despite an iron-fisted regime, rampant plunder of the treasury by the Marcoses’ relatives and friends, and the family’s unexplained amassing of billions of dollars in Swiss banks, on top of hoards of paintings that the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan considered “unlawfully acquired” wealth that needs to be returned to the treasury, the professors said.

“Beyond teaching the truth in the textbooks of History that corruption and violence reigned during the Marcos dictatorship, the country ought to make the Marcosesand to have them answer for the rampant human rights abuses from 1972 to 1986,” the professors said in Filipino. Last week, Bongbong Marcos told a gathering of the National Press Club that school textbooks that talk about the abuses and excesses of the Marcos dictatorship should be revised.The recent dismissal of a number of his family’s corruption cases at the Sandiganbayan, he said, was proof that his family had only been victims of a smear campaign.
