Noong Disyembre 1, sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na papalapit na ang kanyang administrasyon sa kanyang layunin na ibaba ang presyo ng bigas sa P20 kada kilo ngayong ibinebenta na ito sa halagang P25 kada kilo. Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.
A satirical Facebook post insinuates no one gathered at the People Power Monument during the 50th anniversary of the declaration of martial law.
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.

Sa isang press release noong Setyembre 11, sinabi ni Sen. Imee Marcos na ang Nutribun project ay pinasimulan ng kaniyang ama, ang yumaong diktador na si Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
The Nutribun was developed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from 1968 to 1970. The Marcos Sr. administration was responsible for its distribution.
When Katips (short for Katipunan) was first screened in November last year, nobody knew the Marcoses were poised for a dramatic comeback.
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.
In his insightful piece in Time Magazine on the election as president of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the ousted dictator, scholar Jonathan Ong said: “To fight back, progressive leaders should advance their own counter-narrative and persuasive vision. But first, they must acknowledge their failure to listen.”
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.
