NOW: @IanEsguerra gives you the most relevant facts in this episode of #ANCMattersOfFact.

@IanEsguerra NOW on #ANCMattersOfFact: @IanEsguerra speaks with San Beda Graduate School of Law Dean Fr. Ranhilio Aquino and journalist John Nery.

@IanEsguerra #ANCMattersOfFact Aquino: My tweet was in no way intended to be a defense of Mr. Marcos. I'm just saying we needed to remind people that there are other narratives about Marcos we must here.

@IanEsguerra #ANCMattersOfFact Nery (@jnery_newsstand):
Martial law regime is built on a structure of falsehoods.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand #ANCMattersOfFact @IanEsguerra: Is it fair to characterize you as a MArcos apologist?

@RanhilioAquino: No. In fact, I wrote an article recently where I said that we should listen to facts.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @RanhilioAquino: When we tell grand stories of the dictator he was, like what will probably happen today, let's not discount the possibility that there are other stories that may be told. There are those that supported him.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @RanhilioAquino: I hope to achieve a more complete picture of Marcos.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @jnery_newsstand: There is a ton of evidence; there is no vagueness about the Marcos regime.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @jnery_newsstand: Tweet about present generation who never experienced Marcos 'patronizing.'

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @RanhilioAquino: I am not advocating revisionism. I am as interested in John in finding out the truth.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @jnery_newsstand: We do not want the reality of our experience to be negated in any mental construct.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @RanhilioAquino: I an interested in listening to other perspectives on Marcos.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact @jnery_newsstand: The Marcos story, the Marcos narrative has been with us all these years. They've been in power. The Marcos years are being reinterpreted because they have been in power all this time.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino De La Salle University International Studies Professor Renato De Castro: EU threat to remove PH tarriff perks a bluff. I'm not saying the concerns are not valid. They are. But the European Parliament is not the legislative body of the EU. That would be the European Commission.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact De Castro: Removal of PH tariff perks not within the power of the European Parliament.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact De Castro: EU has a lot of problems; PH is the least of its concerns. The EU itself is a complicated animal. It has concerns like Russia, China.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact De Castro: I agree with the concerns of the European Parliament. But whether or not our trade privileges will be revoked is another matter.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact De Castro: I sympathize with the issues raised by the European Parliament on the human rights situation in the PH.

@IanEsguerra @jnery_newsstand @RanhilioAquino #ANCMattersOfFact De Castro: If it were the Council of Europe or the European Commission that had expressed concerns about the human rights situation in PH, then that's when we should have sleepless nights.
