The Official Gazette of the Philippines' social media page is drawing flak from netizens for allegedly "revising history" after they posted about Ferdinand Marcos with details that were not familiar to most
The Official Gazette is the official journal of the Republic of the Philippines, edited in the Office of the President of the Philippines.
Netizens were quick to point out the statements in the Facebook post where "Martial Law" wasn't mentioned as the reason for Ferdinand's 21 years in power. It angered the commenters because they "made it seem like it didn't happen."
"Marcos stepped down from the presidency to avoid bloodshed"
According to history, Ferdinand Marcos defrauded the electoral process declaring him the winner over Corazon Aquino. Millions of people rallied behind her during the People Power revolution. He along with his family fled the Philippines after being ousted during the People Power revolution in EDSA.
They fled to Hawaii and signed customs declaring 22 crates of cash with a value of $ 717 MIllion amongst other valuables.
On a related post that quickly became viral, Jesus Falcis asks the admin of The Official Gazette to rectify the post as it is "intellectually dishonest and misleading"
He also asks one of the admin of the page, if it was true that he is responsible for the Official Gazette post. They claim that he was the former Media writer of Bong Bong Marcos during his campaign.
The person in question explained his side but awkwardly commented using The Official Gazette's Facebook page…
He immediately deleted the comment after.
