Now CERTAIN PARTIES WANT TO REVISE HISTORY AND TARGET THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS, to lead them to believe the hoax that is Ferdinand Marcos. Again, I think that these are ALL PART OF THE DESIGN TO CLEANSE THE NAME OF THE MAN WHO BELIEVED IN HIS OWN LIES. If we frequent the social media, Facebook especially, you will quickly notice some regular but phony narratives about the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos. They speak about his supposed achievements and exploits, and how he is currently being molded in an image of a hero or that of a great statesman. The most recent one that I encountered is a tale about the golden treasures that certain parties so persistently try to connect to his wealth, to erase the popular belief that it was ill-gotten. Ferdinand Marcos, a man who was driven by his delusion, as can be gleaned from his own diary written on stationery bearing the mark “Office of the President,” that he had supernatural powers. A man who declared martial law thinking that he was there to stay in power for good. I suspect that a lot more attempts to revise history will come out via the social media, sooner or later. But we should say: Never again to martial law. Never again to the Marcoses. As the late Jaime Cardinal Sin once said: “To err is human. To forgive is divine. But to repeat is stupid.” opinion.inquirer.net/58131/never-again-2#ixzz2bEYpy4dc
