trust this family to get me out of hibernation just to set the record straight, AGAIN. this issue is like a recurring national nightmare that just wouldn’t permanently disappear, it just keeps on coming back over and over and over again.
with all due respect...
normally, I would not reply to an opinion post about political issues even if I disagree with them. My reasoning is, everyone is entitled to have and formulate their own opinions and post it on their social media account. if it can’t be helped and you just have to say your piece on a particular issue, by all means you are free to do so but please carefully choose your words and mind your demeanor, never forget respect at all times. But, when you put something, anything in cyberspace, be sure to know your facts and stick to those facts. Otherwise, it’s free for all… it’s not my fault if you have put on display your ignorance for all to see.
marcos died 3 yrs after fleeing the philippines in FEAR and SHAME, well mostly in fear cause i doubt shame is in the vocabulary of the marcoses. all these criminal cases filed against marcos became moot and academic because the principal accused is already dead. it does not mean though that they are exonerated from the crime therefore we cannot run after their loot, nor does it mean that they are innocent of these crimes, it only means they have no one to prosecute. sa madaling salita, hindi siya na convict kasi namatay na siya bago pa natapos ang kaso.
But to say that he did not loot the country is the height of ignorance. The civil cases however is a different matter, it can proceed and the claim will be against the estate of the late dictator. And that’s exactly what the government did at that time and hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign banks under their family's name, including under their aliases were turned over by courts here and abroad to the philippine government/treasury. And we are talking about a sum of money, none or all of the members of the marcos family combined, cannot earn in their lifetime. All one has to do is a little research, and everything is there, all legit sources and not some troll websites created by the apologists of the late dictator… some paid, others merely afflicted by blind faith.
THESE ARE THE FACTS, to name a few links…
now what is so difficult to understand about the news that were reported above? mahirap ba talagang intindihin o sarado lang talaga ang isip at ayaw lang talagang intindihin? simpleng simple, sa madaling salita, iniutos ng mga korte kung saan nakadeposito ang mga perang nakapangalan sa mga marcos na ibalik ang nasabing pera sa gobyerno ng pilipinas. naibalik na at tinanggap na ng ating national treasury ang nasabing pera. hindi balibalita lang, hindi drawing, kundi aktuwal na pera ang pinaguusapan. tanong, bakit ibinalik sa gobyerno ng pilipinas ang perang nakapangalan sa mga marcos? kalabisan bang isipin natin na ang dahilan ay napatunayan ng korte na ang tunay na nagmamayari ng perang ito ay ang sambayanang pilipino? e pano napunta sa kanila? hindi naman siguro mahirap sagutin ang tanong na ito!!! ...ano daw??? no plunder??? no conviction??? huh???
how can we talk about marcos without mentioning another thorny issue... the other victims of marcos’ martial rule. to me this is an even more sensitive issue. we are talking about human lives here. hindi ito inimbento o kathang isip lamang. ang mga biktima ay hindi isa, dalawa, sampu o daan daang tao lamang. libu libong tao ang pinaguusapan dito. ang bawat isa sa kanila ay may pangalan, may pamilya. mayroon silang mga magulang, asawa, anak, kapatid, kamaganak at kaibigan na nagmamahal at nagmamalasakit sa kanila. marami sa mga biktima ay mga matatalinong batang estudyante na nangahas magtanong at tumutol sa mga kalabisan ng diktadura. haaay, nakapanghihinayang... im talking about those who died, those who disappeared never to be seen again, those who were tortured and raped while in detention. just because it didn’t happen to us or to any of our loved ones it means it never happened. i have one word for these people to reflect upon... EMPATHY.
for anybody to still defend and idolize the man is...
