    Marcos and the First Quarter Storm Part I: Paranoia and Pretense

    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes and Joel F. Ariate Jr.  |  Mar 10, 2020 7:00 AM

    With six deaths and hundreds injured, the bloody opening salvo of the First Quarter Storm in January 1970 both riled and excited President Ferdinand Marcos. But he cannot appear to give in to both sentiments. His plans for a one-man rule restson how well he handled himself in public and capitalized in the ensuing chaos.

    The Duterte-Marcos Connection

    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes  |  Sep 29, 2019 9:10 PM

    Are there any available documents or accounts showing the Dutertes and the Marcoses had a very close personal relationship prior to the leadup to the 2016 elections? In an academic workshop last year, a former journalist claimed that he had never known Duterte to praise Marcos when he was mayor of Davao City in the 1990s. What do we really know about the purported ties of these political families?

    ​Scammers sell Marcos ‘legacy’ to poor Pinoys

    By Joel F. Ariate Jr.  |  Sep 25, 2017 11:23 AM

    They said they came to collect the P10,000 they were promised every month for the next four years as claimants to their share of the Marcos wealth. The proof of their claim: a pamphlet purchased for P30, extolling Marcos for his ‘immortal legacy.’

    File No. 60: Debunking the Marcos war myth

    By JOEL F. ARIATE JR. and MIGUEL PAOLO P. REYES  |  Jul 04, 2016 10:05 PM

    FOR Ferdinand Marcos, failing to gain official recognition for Maharlika and subsequent war claims did not seem to matter. By 1947, he was already an economic advisor to President Manuel Roxas. By 1949, he was representative of the second district of Ilocos Norte.

    File No. 60: Marcos’ invented heroism

    By JOEL F. ARIATE JR. and MIGUEL PAOLO P. REYES  |  Jul 02, 2016 11:24 PM

    THE U.S. National Archives in Washington, D.C. is home to the Philippine Archives Collection. Within that collection is File No. 60, which documents Ferdinand E. Marcos’s claim of being a guerilla leader and founder of a guerilla unit called “Ang Manga Maharlika” with thousands of men in its roster from 1942 to 1945 in Northern Luzon. Marcos himself later changed it to “Ang Mga Maharlika.”
