VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Marcos wrongly claims family landed ‘with nothing’ when exiled in Hawaii
The Marcos family did not go into exile empty-handed. In 1986, the U.S. Customs Services seized sets of jewelry, valued in 1991 at $436,420 to $559,630, that the Marcoses brought with them to Honolulu.
VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pahayag ni Marcos na ‘walang wala’ ang kanilang pamilya nang ipatapon at dumating sila sa Hawaii HINDI TOTOO
Ang pamilya Marcos ay hindi ipinatapon nang walang dala. Noong 1986, kinuha ng United States Customs Services ang mga set ng alahas, na tinaya noong 1991 ng Christie’s auction house na nagkakahalaga ng $436,420 hanggang $559,630, na dinala ng mga Marcos sa Honolulu. Kilala bilang Hawaii Collection, ito ay ibinigay sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas noong 1992.
