and to all you non filipinos please. show support to us. make a racket. the man who ‘won’ the presidential race manipulated the votes; the trends were too specific and consistent not to be. this man is a tax evader despite owning billions of pesos, lied about being a tax evader, faked a degree in law, and barely attended the presidential debates. his father was a literal dictator who silenced any form of coverage and information against him, to the degree that people were tortured or killed if they were against him. the marcos regime was one of the darkest times in philippine history. we do not want a repeat of it.
Marcos’s ‘Special Degree’
According to the university’s Information Compliance Team, Marcos “did not complete his degree, but was awarded a Special Diploma in Social Studies in 1978.”
“We can confirm that a Ferdinand Marcos matriculated at the University of Oxford in 1975 to read for a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. According to our records, he did not complete his degree, but was awarded a Special Diploma in Social Studies in 1978,”

Tax Evasion
As Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr evades questions on his family’s P203 billion estate tax debt, his supporters muddle the discussion by spreading false claims about Philippine tax laws if only to defend the non-payment.
Over the past days, Marcos’ supporters have amplified a comment from a political analyst that to charge the Marcos estate of tax would be to concede that it is not ill-gotten.
“That’s wrong logic, and a wrong understanding of the law. Because under the tax code, it doesn’t make a distinction whether the property is legally acquired or illegally acquired such as ill-gotten wealth. So as long as that property is yours at the time you die, [that’s included in your gross estate and will be charged an estate tax],”

Skipping Most Presidential Debates
“[I am inviting Mr. Marcos to debate with me, to give the people a chance to face him and ask about the controversies surrounding him. We owe it to the people and to our country. If you would accept, I will come anytime, anywhere.] Robredo added.
Marcos participated twice in a debate organized by SMNI News, the media outfit owned by fugitive preacher Apollo Quiboloy. Quiboloy, who is wanted in the United States for sex trafficking charges, has endorsed Marcos for president.
None of the other leading candidates attended the debates organized by SMNI, deemed to be friendly to Marcos and has acquiesced to his demands to skip the hard questions.
Of the 10 presidential candidates, only Marcos has snubbed the past two debates organized by the Commission on Elections (Comelec). Marcos also did not join the debate mounted by CNN Philippines.
