“It is a strong rejection of their desperate attempts to wash off their bloody record of human rights violations and corruption during Martial Law,” said Danilo Dela Fuente, spokesperson of the Samahan ng Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (SELDA).
In a statement, Dela Fuente said the loss of the former lawmaker in the 2016 election showed the “people’s strong opposition against historical lies propagated by the Marcoses and their cohorts to rehabilitate the image of the former dictator and his family.”
“It is now clear that Marcos’ baseless and malicious protest and accusations are mere tantrums of a brat who can’t accept defeat,” he said.
