In 2014 COA disallowed & asked BongBong Marcos to return 10 Million he channeled thru PDAF scam queen Janet Napoles’ foundation Social Development Program for Farmers Foundation, Inc. (SDPFFI) . Whistleblower Benhur Uy’s files would later reveal Bong funneled 205 Million thru Napoles between 2011-13. Bong also admitted he used SDPFFI.
Jill and I discussed today a disturbing observation. There are many people in our circles that despite the overwhelming abundance of facts against Marcos’ and Duterte’s clearly well funded disinformation campaign there are still people who make great effort to either ignore, dismiss or twist these and continue their support.
I have decided that this has to do more with the person’s morality and twisted sense of values than his inability to deal with reality. They are normal people for the most part. They love their families, may do productive work, may be professionals and you may have a good time hanging out with them sharing common interests.
But as far as recognizing the sins of Duterte and Marcos are concerned, and conversely, understanding the value of the government being run by upstanding, honest professionals, they are completely at a loss.
In October 1986, Ferdinand Marcos accused the Philippine Gov’t of “Stealing my wealth”. He admitted the U.S. bank account used for Imee & Bong’s allowance while studying in the U.S. & the houses he bought for them. Ferdie had the gall to accuse the gov’t of stealing what he stole
Imee Marcos: Yes we’ll forward to that po, umm during Masagana 99 in the 70’s there was also very effective use of commercial banks, rural banks and even cooperative banks and I believe that scheme would truly work. However perhaps we could consider enlarging the national government’s stake even in that regard.
Second question po..
Sec. Dominguez: MA’M BEFORE WE GO AHEAD..
Imee Marcos : Yes!
Sec. Dominguez : SINCE YOU SAID MASAGANA 99,
Imee Marcos : Opo!
Sec. Dominguez : I WAS THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE THAT CLEANED UP THE MESS OF MASAGANA 99. THAT WAS LEFT BY MASAGANA 99. THERE WERE ABOUT 800 RURAL BANKS THAT WERE BANKRUPTED BY THAT PROGRAM AND WE HAD TO RESCUE THEM.
SO WHETHER IT WAS A TOTAL SUCCESS OR NOT HAS TO BE MEASURED AGAINST THAT.
Imee Marcos : The success po perhaps was not in banking it was certainly in rice exportation. So..
Sec. Dominguez : Ah, no. WE NEVER EXPORTED RICE. WE NEVER EXPORTED RICE, MA’M.
