Bayan Muna chair and human rights lawyer Neri Colmenares (@ColmenaresPH) says the presidential bid of Bongbong Marcos is "a monumental effort to whitewash" their family's name and erase the people's memory of martial law and dictatorship under his father's regime. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: Putting another Marcos in Malacanang not only serves their purpose of trying to absolve Imelda Marcos of her crimes, for which she has never spent a single second of jail time. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: Another Marcos presidency also paves the way for an attempt to wipeout the atrocities of the Marcos family as if nothing happened, equating election with absolution. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: Putting Bongbong Marcos in Malacanang will also allow him to pardon Imelda and his siblings of their liabilities to the people, including the recent ruling on the Marcos estate’s tax debt. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: Kung hangad nga ni Marcos ang pagbangon, kilalanin muna ng pamilya ang kanilang kasalanan sa bayan at ibalik ang mga nakubra nila mula sa kaban ng bayan. Wag nila gamiting ang pagka-pangulo para bigyan ng amnesia ang mga Pilipino. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: The 2022 elections is indeed a struggle for the survival of the Filipino as a democratic loving people. | @NCorralesINQ

@ColmenaresPH @NCorralesINQ Colmenares: It is a resistance to the potential continuity under President Duterte’s failed leadership and a battle to ensure that the Marcos family stays away from Malacañang. | @NCorralesINQ
