Wazzup Pilipinas!?
There is no denying that Duterte has has helped make the Marcoses regain their place in the Philippines.
Remember, Duterte allowing the late dictator to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, with very little announcement inspite of several protests? Letting Imelda free inspite of several court convictions? Allowing a Marcos day? And a lot more instances..
The Duterte and this administration is most known for bending the rules and ousting people who blatantly antagonizes him.
Chief Justice Sereno was against his drug war campaign and Marcos burial in Libingan ng mga Bayani
Early on in his administration, President Duterte paved the way for the burial of Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani with full military, reopening wounds inflicted by his 21-year rule marked by human rights atrocities.
House Bill No. 7137 aimed to declare September 11 a special non-working holiday in observance of “President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Day” in Ilocos Norte. The Ferdinand Marcos Day in Ilocos got a NO from the National Historical Commission.
In Aug 30, 1973 Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation # 1180 making September 21 "National Thanksgiving Day" even if Martial Law was actually declared on Sept. 23 to mythologize Martial Law & Marcos saving the Republic. Thank you for 34K tortured, Famine of Negros, $28.3B Foreign Debt & $10B stolen.
In Jan 25, 1986, Ferdinand Marcos & Gen. Fabian Ver, when it seemed Cory Aquino can win the 1986 Snap Election, planned bombings so Marcos can once again declare Martial Law called "Operation Everlasting". Explosives on the way to Ver's HQ was intercepted a day before EDSA & the rest is history.
In April 2009, Imelda Marcos was ranked by Newsweek as #8 "Greediest People of All-time". Newsweek wrote “She took $5 million shopping sprees to New York & Rome, reportedly owned the world’s largest collections of gems & 3,000 pairs of shoes,” while Filipinos earn less than $2/day.
Focus your energy on BBM and Duterte. Join forces and make sure they will not win. Ang dalawang iyan ang nagpahamak sa atin, nilugmok tayo sa hirap at pambababoy. Never again.
Why is the drug war "an achievement of the Duterte admin?" Data after data, number by number shows that the drug war not only an abysmal failure, but also a big injustice to human rights.
An ICC investigation provides hope that a measure of justice will be done. And in the Philippines, where impunity for human rights abuses has been the norm, that’s a big deal.
Rodrigo Duterte is worried about the ICC. He should be. - The Washington Post
