MANILA, Philippines — Court decisions on the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses are the best evidence to prove its existence, re-electionist Sen. Nancy Binay said.

Binay was asked to comment on President Duterte’s doubts that the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos illegally amassed up to $10 billion from state coffers during his two-decade rule.

“The court has already decided on the cases pertaining to the ill-gotten wealth. For me, those are the best evidence. And the compensation given to the human rights victims, is it not enough?” she said during the Kapihan sa Senado forum yesterday.

Marawi peace builder and civic leader Samira Gutoc claimed that Duterte is changing the map of Philippine territory and revising its history.

“Since you were sworn in as President of my beloved country, you have shown nothing but favor to the Marcos family. Since the beginning, you have fought for them, defended their honor and even helped deny the atrocities (committed) during martial law,” she said.

Gutoc said the President should not underestimate the intelligence and memory of every Filipino by insisting that the Marcoses did not do anything wrong during the ’70s and ’80s.

“What have you got to gain, Mr. President, by using your influence, using your presidency, to legitimize the injustices and atrocities done by the Marcoses to the Filipino people?” she asked. “We will never forget.”
