After calling President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. a “drug addict,” former president Rodrigo Duterte now says he could have been referring to the use of medicines, not illegal substances.
Masalimuot, nakakatawa, at sobrang nakakahiya itong bangayan ng mga Duterte at pamilya Marcos-Romualdez. Madlang Filipino, kaya pa ba?
The Marcoses lived in exile for just five, not 36, years.
Ang mga Marcos ay nanirahan sa exile ng lima lamang, hindi 36, na taon.
This was the first time Rodrigo Duterte mentioned President Ferdinand Marcos’ name in connection with drug abuse.
Ito ang unang beses na binanggit ni Duterte ang pangalan ni Marcos kaugnay ng drug abuse. Sa isang talumpati noong Nob. 18, 2021 sa Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, sinabi ng noo'y presidente na may isang kandidato sa 2022 presidential election na gumagamit ng cocaine, ngunit hindi sinabi kung sino ang kanyang tinutukoy.
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.
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.
Duterte, who faces being summoned by the ICC over drug-related killings during his term, says with a veiled warning: “Wala akong away kay presidente, unless you want to join into the fray.”
A video is claiming that VP Sara Duterte has given several orders to remove all “anti-Marcos” information in public school textbooks and revise content taught about the martial law period. This needs context.
