The late strongman Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law 48 years ago today and kicked off nearly a decade of corruption, human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings.

MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:21 p.m.) — Instead of commenting on people reportedly killed, tortured and imprisoned during the Marcos dictatorship, presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. cast doubt on Amnesty International, a rights group that sent missions to the Philippines during Martial Law.

 

Boy Abunda, in a one-on-one interview with Marcos that aired Tuesday, asked the presidential aspirant whether data from Amnesty International were just lies.

 

"According to Amnesty International during your father’s presidency, from 1972 to 1981, about 72,000 were imprisoned, 34,000 were tortured and 3,240 were killed. Tanong: Itong data ba na galing sa Amnesty International, Sen. Bongbong, ito ba ay pawang kasinungalingan lamang (Are these just lies)?"
