    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes and Joel F. Ariate Jr.  |  May 16, 2023 7:00 AM

    Even in pro-Marcos propaganda about Ferdinand Sr.’s war-time exploits, there is no direct link between Marcos and the USS Gar.

    Marcos Sr. and the April Fools affair

    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes, Joel F. Ariate Jr., and Larah Vinda Del Mundo  |  Apr 01, 2023 4:26 PM

    It was an April Fools’ day story that played out in the pages of the Bangkok Post 50 years ago, but the ending lies buried among the papers that the Marcos family left behind when they fled Malacañang in 1986.
