FACT CHECK: Bongbong Marcos told One News he had never seen gold. It's a different tune from records we obtained showing in 1990 he told Inquirer "only I know where [the gold] is and how to get to it" & in 2007 he told court trading gold was their source of wealth @rapplerdotcom 
If Marcos says that "sa buong buhay ko hindi pa ko nakakakita ng gold," why submit a pleading to Sandiganbayan in 2007 staking claim to Payanig property because their legitimate wealth "includes trading of precious metals." This was junked by Sandiganbayan way back July 2007.
In 2007, Marcos' lawyer Erme Labayog attended Laoag RTC hearing to perpetuate testimony of Constante Rubio who claimed he was a close associate when the dictator traded gold. Marcos through Manila lawyers then attached that to their SB pleading to claim Payanig. They failed.
In 2020, the Sandiganbayan junker all claims including the claim of Ortigas & Co firm, and retained the ownership of the 18.5 hectare Payanig property with the government through the PCGG.
Rappler has asked Marcos’ campaign manager Benhur Abalos and his spokesperson Vic Rodriguez for comments, but they have not yet responded.
