I remember a column written in 1984 by my late father Maximo V.
Are we going to risk such a scenario again? If BBM doesn’t know who he is and can’t even admit to anything that happened in the past, not to mention all the issues on his alleged fake records, then voting for this man will surely bring us to deeper troubled waters. A two-faced man, as we already learned in our recent history, is dangerous. And yet he takes all the accomplishments of his father as if it were his own. Why does he get upset when people blame his father for all the corruption and social ills? He becomes very defensive. Doesn’t he know what is right from wrong? How far can he deny the Marcos era from the Filipinos who witnessed everything? Whether the man is his father or not, if he saw him stealing or cheating, why doesn’t he help return what was stolen? Why does he continue to deny the truth? What doesn’t he know about what his father did? It’s all about the ‘morality’ of the man. There is no acceptance, not even remorse, for what transpired during the martial law days. If he says his family never stole anything, then we will be troubled if he becomes the president. When Bongbong says he was too young to know what happened in 1986, he is already showing his true color. They will not allow such conditions to happen again. They know the story, the lies and the betrayals. Many young students and fresh graduates have read and have empathized with the cries of all martial law victims.
Will the new and young voters vote for BBM? I think only the ignorant ones. Only the cronies lived like kings and queens, the rest lived like slaves. Unearthing all the treasures and discovering the lifestyle the Marcoses lived while the Filipinos suffered tremendously. They will probably also choose to be blinded by what they saw in 1986 when the Marcos family fled to Hawaii and when Malacañang‘s doors were opened to the public.
Or they may choose to forget the tragedy and the darkness during those years. This group couldn‘t care less about what happened during martial law. Will non-martial law victims vote for BBM? Maybe. They clearly and confidently know what the Marcos family is made of and what they are all about. Will the martial law victims vote for BBM? Of course not! This is a non-issue to them.
