A STORY NEVER BEEN REVEALED After 1986 and Before the COMEBACK OF THE MARCOS FAMILY

QUESTIONS:

1. Why was the Marcos family continually persecuted even if justice had been served fair and square for all the cases that their family had faced both in the national and international courts?

2. Is it fair enough for them to be blamed for everything that happened during the martial law?

3. Coming from Mrs. Imelda Marcos herself: WHAT ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

4. If you could answer questions 1, 2, and 3 with all the nasty recall of what really happened during the reign of the Marcoses, should you open your mind to understand what really happened why Imelda Marcos was able to obtain justice in the end?

Proofs of these are:

a) That the Marcoses are NOT really back into power but rather, they were welcomed to serve and prove to their countrymen that they were not what the yellow media and the Aquino lovers had been painting them to be for all the years.

b) But the most damning evidence is the very testimony of Mrs. Imelda Marcos that was documented years ago after their return from exile. You can read her story that's much more revealing than the decades of yellow story that had been passed on year after year since the catapulting to power of the late former president Mrs. Corazon Aquino in 1986.

There's a movie documentary about the rise and fall of Marcos dictatorship entitled: THE KINGMAKER but this is not what the story of Imelda Marcos is all about. In fact, the interview of Imelda Marcos in this documentary was exploited instead of simply telling both sides of the story about what happened during and after the Marcos reign. In other words, the said documentary is meant for sensationalism at its core devoid of telling the facts as they are. It is a typical example of a propaganda being released just in time that the fate of Robredo from the SC-PET officials is about to be released and could be well meant for the 2022 election in favor of the liberal party once again.

But here is the other side of the coin you may want to consider reading on in case you want to balance the truth that you, so far, know about the Aquinos and the Marcoses. Read on if you want to get to the very facts coming from the Marcos side in order to know why things happened the way they happened.

Force into exile by the connivance of her own government with that of the most powerful country in the world; uprooted from her land of birth; divested of resources to survive and the honor of a name; widowed and absolutely alone, the former First Lady and now Representative Imelda Romualdez Marcos of Second District of Ilocos Norte recreated the mothering of the true, the good and the beautiful from the nothingness of that state into the spiritual strength of love, a love that surrendered itself completely to the wisdom of a mothering God.

"I believe in the words of God: " ... into your hands I commend thy spirit. Thy will be done."

"When your mothering reaches this level of transcendence," she said, "you become the vessel of God's humanity, and God's humanity is His love made flesh."

According to her, mothering is every human being's capacity to be creative in godliness. "Not even the mightiest sword of justice could pierce the shield of its protective mantle because beyond the laws of men, which are used repeatedly to destroy, to exploit, to persecute, to avenge and to control, there is the law of nature which is mothering, constantly radiating in all that is true, good and beautiful."

"My life, especially during the years of governmental and legal assaults, is a testimony to this natural truth," Mrs. Marcos said.

At first she did not want to further answer why they did that to her and former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, but then she relented when this writer pressed for an explanation.

"Let me just cite one reason they did this to us. I chose this one because it is fraught with political, social, economic and national security implications. During my trial in New York, a prosecution witness, Timothy Khan, revealed in court: "Mrs. [Corazon 'Cory'] Aquino said, 'No prosecution, no bases,' referring, of course, to the American military bases in the Philippines."

At that time, Mrs. Marcos said, the retention of the American military bases in the Philippines was under negotiation.

So what happened?

"It's not only ironic; it also showed their motive: Mrs. Aquino got the prosecution; America did not get the bases; and the Marcoses were acquitted."

What else happened in New York?

"Since 1986 up to the time we were exiled to US, I had been asking what happened to valuable properties and assets belonging to the Republic, arbitrarily sequestered as 'ill-gotten wealth' by agents of the Aquino administration. The New York office of the Aquino regime put several interesting pieces of arts on the auction block on August 15 and 16, 1986 without court order. The sale was held at the Viscount International Hotel in Long Island, New York, through auctioneer Sunrise Galleries. The items were vandalized from the seven-story, 30-room townhouse on 66th Street in Manhattan, New York.

"Let me give you some examples:

My photograph with Pope John Paul II, listed at $150 to $250, sold for $450;
An oil painting of former President Marcos, which was expected to fetch $100 to $150, sold for $400;
My picture with President and Mrs. Gerald R. Ford (priced at $150 to $250);
My picture and former President Marcos's with Mao Tse-Tung (priced at $200 to $300);
Our picture with Russian dignitaries (priced at $150 to $250);
My picture with Lord Mountbatten ($150 to $250);
A rare George III side table, circa 1780, valued at $40,000, sold for $42,500;
A Steinway concert grand piano, valued at $18,000, sold for $26,000;
A George III gilt-wood mirror, circa 1770, valued at $10,000, sold for $35,000;
A pair of George I walnut armchairs, circa 1730, priced at $5,000 to $7,000, sold for $22,000;
A 4-foot-tall sculptured camel made from seashells, valued at $500 to $700, sold for $2,000."
Were they not ill-gotten?

"Definitely not!"

"Can you call my pictures with the Pope, with Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, with US President and Mrs. Ford, and with the Russian dignitaries, just to cite a few, ill-gotten?"

To drive home her point, Mrs. Marcos on October 13, 1997, stood before Congress and said:

"What theft of government are all these Cory usurpers talking about? It is they who should answer to the people and give an accounting of all the documents and papers they stole from Malacañang, from our rented house in Honololu and from our private chambers. It is they who should give an accounting of all the assets and properties they sequestered, sold and appropriated for themselves in the name of PCGG [Presidential Commission on Good Government] and Cory Aquino's executive orders.

"Where are the paintings by world masters, worth millions of dollars, which were already on exhibit in our [Philippine] Museum? Why were they sold? Where were the thousand of pieces of silver and gold collection—gifts to Ferdinand and I on our silver wedding anniversary—also worth millions and millions of dollars? Where were the more than a thousand Russian icons? The suitcases of jewelry taken out of Malacañang Palace, our ancestral homes; my children's houses and all our personal belongings in Malacañang which have not been returned to us, almost 30 years now since they ransacked our private chambers? And where were Ferdinand's documents on the gold?

"I was asked to speak about the gold. What can I say? They have all been taken away from us. Some have surfaced in the New York trial. Most are still missing."

Any reaction from the lawmakers?

"They applauded me and many promised to give an answer. Nothing came."

Why did the Aquino administration conclude that the priceless pictures with Pope John Paul II, Mao Tse-Tung and other dignitaries were ill-gotten?
