True
- There are human rights cases against the estate of Marcos that are ALREADY WON by the victims
of human rights violations and abuses.
- The Philippine government, through the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG), was
able to recover, among others, the remaining $29 million of the multimillion-dollar Swiss bank
deposits stashed away by the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
False
- Marcos ordered the assasination of his rival Benigno Aquino, Jr., upon his return to Manila on
August 21, 1983.
The truth about the said assasination still remains unknown to this day.
- Marcos is the most decorated war hero in the Philippines during WWII.
Many of his claims have been found to be false, with United
States Army documents describing his wartime claims as "fraudulent"
and "absurd."
- The average citizen was economically better during the Marcos administration.
Poverty incidence grew from 41% in the 1960s at the time Marcos took the
presidency to 59% when he was removed from power. This is high compared to the
2021 projection at 18.7% based on World Bank data.
- There are NO court decisions which declare that the Marcos family possesses ill-gotten wealth.
While there were forfeiture cases which are now dismissed due to 'insufficient
evidence', the Philippine government already WON cases against the Marcos
Family. (See item 16)
