MANILA, Philippines — Senators Panfilo "Ping" Lacson and Vicente "Tito" Sotto III urged Filipinos to never forget the abuses committed during the Martial Law regime, a dark time in Philippine history where all kinds of abuses took place.

 

Lacson and Sotto, who are running for president and vice president, respectively, also said Filipinos have no reason to feel nostalgic about Martial Law where cronyism and persecution took place at the expense of public service. 

 

"How can we forget about our national treasury being ransacked? Even the Central Bank did not have an inkling that it was raided, our reserves were gone, there was no money to be found. Where did it go? How can we forget that?" Lacson said in a statement on Wednesday.
