Nasa dugo na ang pagsisinungaling

Matapos ilathala ni Imee Marcos ang kanyang graduation pictures noong 1983 bilang estudyante ng University of the Philippines College of Law, pinatunayan ng isang netizen na hindi ito graduate sapagkat wala si Marcos sa yearbook.

Pinakita ni Angelo Bernardo Jr., ang kanyang kopya ng Philippinensian 1983, ang yearbook ng UP kung kailan umano nagtapos si Marcos.

Kung totoong nagtapos si Marcos sa UP noong 1983, dapat nasa yearbook ito ng College of Law. Mapapansin na walang “Marcos” sa listahan ng graduates, o kaya’y bago ang pangalan ng “Matunog”.

“Pathological liars disgust me. But there must be a special place in Dante’s Inferno for those who pretend to have graduated from my Alma mater, for whatever political mileage that may be gained,” ani Bernardo.

Nauna nang pinasawalang katotohanan ng UP na nagtapos sa kanilang pamantasan si Marcos.

“The records kept by the University of the Philippines Diliman Registrar indicate that Ms Marcos took non-degree courses (courses without credit) in the College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines Diliman during academic year 1976-77. Thereafter she took courses under the Bachelor of Laws program at the UP College of Law from 1st semester 1979 to 2nd Semester 1983. There is no record of her graduation from UP [Diliman] nor any honors or academic distinctions received with the University Registrar’s office,” ani UP Executive Vice President Teodoro Herbosa.
