    Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s last election campaign (Part 2)

    By Miguel Paolo P. Reyes, Larah Vinda Del Mundo, and Joel F. Ariate Jr.  |  May 01, 2022 7:50 AM

    Cracks in the Marcos political machine started to show in the 1984 Batasan election. And the dictator’s last campaign ended in a popular revolt that forced him, his family, and his cabal into exile.

    Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s last election campaign (Part 1)

    Not even the PR firm with some of the best access to the gates of power in Washington could save Marcos after his own military and the U.S. turned against him in the final days of his dictatorship.

    Retelling the Truth Through Objects of Desire

    A creation myth in Philippine folklore, the Marcoses co-opted the Malakas at Maganda myth in the 1970s and anointed themselves as “the strong one” and “ the beautiful one” under “the new society.”

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Imee Marcos mali ang pahayag na lider si Marcos Sr. ng guerilla unit noong WWII, ginawaran ng U.S. war medals

    By VERA Files  |  Apr 25, 2022 11:01 AM

    Sinabi ni Sen. Imee Marcos na ang kanyang ama, ang dating pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr., ay ginawaran ng tatlong klase ng military decorations mula sa gobyerno ng United States (U.S.) para sa kanyang military service noong World War II. Hindi ito totoo.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Imee Marcos falsely claims Marcos Sr. led WWII guerilla unit, awarded U.S. war medals

    By VERA FILES  |  Apr 25, 2022 10:53 AM

    There is no official U.S. government record supporting the claim about Marcos receiving medals from the U.S. Armed Forces. Claims about such military decorations are fake, according to a 2016 report by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, the UP Third World Studies Center, and a story by The Washington Post.
