In today’s Philippine Daily Inquirer editorial entitled “Instructive picture”, my South China Morning Post piece on Senator Bongbong Marcos was mentioned.
It’s a hard-hitting editorial that’s vintage Inquirer, lambasting the triumphant-looking Imelda Marcos, her son Bongbong, Manila mayor Joseph Estrada and Senator Juan Ponce Enrile last Saturday when they announced full support for Bongbong’s run for the vice-presidency.
Inquirer was referring to my piece entitled Senator Bongbong Marcos confirmed he had a direct hand in trying to withdraw US$213M from a Swiss bank in 1986 which you can view by clicking on the link.
Although written three years ago, it has enjoyed in recent days a surge in hits.
So much so that one commenter who goes by the handle “aLL_lies” posted this morning:
Magkano bang binigay sa yo for this “article”? This “article” is so opinionated coming from someone who is clearly biased, why state it here? Do more research and write articles in an unbiased point of view.
My reply to whoever that person is –
Wala. Clearly you didn’t read the article quoting Bongbong Marcos.

The best line in the Inquirer’s editorial is the last paragraph:
“Everything you need to know about our greatest fault as a people is in that picture—principally, our inability to be angry for long at wrongdoing and wrongdoers, and to levy justice on them so that others of the same stripe would know that crime does not pay. That picture is an indictment of Marcos et al.’s sense of impunity—and of our own hand in enabling them.”
This is something we, as a nation, should ponder about….

totoo ba ang Miriam-bongbong tandem?
raissa says
I don’t know yet.
Could also be Miriam – Cayetano.
Let’s wait.

Di ba dapat may tinatawag na Citizen Arrest?
Kung nakita mo ang kriminal pwede ang Taumbayan ang mag-aresto sa kanya.
Kagawian na na pag nahuli ang isnatser na nang-agaw ng pitaka o bag na may laman ng ilangblibo lang, eh kinukuyog at binubugbug muna ng Taumbayan at saka na lang ibibigay sa pulis.
Eh etong pamikya Marcos na ninakawan tayo ng bilyong dolyares eh mga malaya pang nakabalik sa pwesto at gamit pa ang perang ninakaw para makamit ang kapangyarihan at mapabango at baguhin pa ang kwento ng nakaraan. Eh kung ang isnatser eh kinukyug at binubugbug eh libo lang, siguro naman eh di lang dapat bugbug ang parusa sa pamilya Marcos.
Eto ring si Enrile dami ring ninakaw pero dahil nga bumaligtad at tuta din ng mga Amerikano eh parang deadma kang sa kanyang mga kasalan noong Martial Law at sa patuloy na pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
Sa tingin ko ang mga taong makapag-parusa sa mga Marcos at mga Enrile eh siguradong mga tunay na bayani!
Kung ang isnatser ay binbugbug at ang iba ay tinutulyan pata wag ng tularan, eh ano ang dapat ipataw na parusa sa mga PLUNDERERS?
Sa ibang novela, yung pinaparusahan ay di lang pinapatay kundi kinakain pa. Kaya lang makukunat na ang mga ito kaya wag ng kainin, siguro yung mga gutom nating mga mahihirap na mahilig sa pagpag eh baka patulan o di kaya yung mga askal o asong kalye eh kakainin ang mga yan pag niluto…

Jonathan Patron says
Tama!
Which temps me to ask:
Dalawang beses nang nagkaroon ng Aquino President, kumusta na ang tunay na salarin sa pagkakapatay kay Ninoy?
