The fight against lies is an uphill battle. But someone has to do it.  As the Marcos family and their supporters ramp up the propagation of myths that distort history, scholars from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman are using the results of their search for truth and sharing it with the public.

Three years after operations began, NFC employees were scrounging around the plant premises for pieces of junk copper wires and other scrap metals to generate some cash to pay a part of their salary while their top people were coming and going in chartered planes.

In my column last Monday on the last 24 hours of the Marcoses in Malacañang on Feb. 25, 1986, I shared the narration of the late colonel Arturo C. Aruiza, aide-de-camp of the late president Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in his book “From Malacañang to Makiki” about their problem when the heavily medicated chief executive could not remember the combination of the steel safe in his bedroom where important documents and valuables were stored. They had to leave the safe unopened.

I’m re-reading the book “Ferdinand E. Marcos, Malacañang to Makiki” by Col. Arturo C. Aruiza, who served as aide-de-camp and confidant of the late president for 21 years until the latter’s death in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1989.
