    File No. 60: Debunking the Marcos war myth

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

    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.”
