October 4, 2016: I cannot dissociate from Marcoses Duterte
http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story...rcoses-duterte
"Si Imee supported me... My father was a Cabinet member of President Marcos during his first term as president," Duterte said in a speech.
Duterte's father, Vicente, served as secretary for general services from 1965 to 1968.
The president said it was only his father and another politician who supported Marcos when almost everyone else was casting their lot behind then President Diosdado Macapagal of the Liberal Party.
"My father was one of the two who stood by Marcos in his darkest hours. Everybody was shifting to the Liberal, kay Diosdado Macapagal at that time and it was only Ebarle and my father who stood by Marcos," Duterte said.
"That is why when he won, my father was one of the Cabinet members of Marcos. So yan ang ano namin, I cannot really disassociate," he added.
One of his campaign pronouncements was that he would allow the late dictator's burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, something that doesn't sit well with the victims of human rights violations under the Marcos regime.
