FALSE INFORMATION. What archival materials say:
1. There are no credible sources at all that indicate that Cory Aquino was “playing mahjong” with Carmelite sisters in Cebu in 1986.
2. Cory’s exact quote: “Tell him it’s okay to go. My only condition is that he leave the country.”
Siyempre, may Martial Law edition din kami ✨
Sa ika-100 taon ni Juan Ponce Enrile sa mundo, sana'y lalo nating gunitain ang mga kasalanan niya at ng diktadurang Marcos sa sambayanan.

During the regime of the murderous bastard Deadinand Marcos, the military and the Philippine Constabulary (as the PNP was then called) protected crony property and environmentally destructive govt projects, usually by torturing and murdering opponents and their families.
Mr. Marcos swore an oath to uphold the laws of the land.
Among such laws is Republic Act 10368, the law tasked to recognize—and compensate—the victims of the Marcos dictatorship, and to memorialize that dark era.
Since it is law, it is an official part of his presidential duty.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said it is not his duty to be involved when asked to apologize to the victims of martial law under his father.
