Manila: The eldest daughter of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos has advised Filipinos to "move on" and forget about the past, drawing angry rebukes in a country that suffered under two decades of her father's brutal regime.

Imee Marcos, 62, and the rest of the Marcos family have been enjoying a revival of sorts under the presidency of President Rodrigo Duterte, a self-professed fan of Ferdinand Marcos and his strongman ways.

On Tuesday, the 35th anniversary of the assassination of Benigno Aquino jnr, whose killing fuelled the protests that toppled Marcos, the dictator's daughter used an appearance with Duterte to tell Filipinos to move beyond her father's misdeeds.

"The millennials have moved on, and I think people at my age should also move on as well," Marcos said, as quoted by local newspapers.
