TRUE: @bongbongmarcos can be arrested and jailed in the US for failing to pay his debts. He has a contempt judgment against him [and his mother] in the US for disobeying the same US court that directed the Marcoses to pay $2B in damages to victims of human rights violations. 1/3 
The original 1995 contempt order has been extended to 2031. The total amount they must pay as a penalty [as of 2012]: $356M. This is separate from the $2B judgment they also owe their victims. If they go to the US, they can be compelled to appear at the court; if they won’t…2/3
a ‘bench warrant’ can be issued and they can be imprisoned until they pay and disclose where the rest of their ill-gotten assets are. Any journalist can ask him: are you ready to go to the US & pay your debts to your family’s victims OR are you going to hide forever? #MarcosDuwag
