Statement of Erin Tanada, Partido Liberal vice president for external affairs, on the Duterte administration’s attacks on Vice President Robredo

More disturbing in the attacks is the obviously pro-Marcos stance of Solicitor General Jose Calida in the late dictator’s son electoral protest against our Vice President.

It appears that the attacks on Vice President Leni are based on Bongbong Marcos’s plan to subvert the people’s will and revise history in their family’s favor. To this, we say: Marcos was a dictator. He tortured. He killed. He plundered. And we will never forget.

Ang mas nakakabahala pa ay ang malinaw na pagiging pro-Marcos ni Solicitor General Jose Calida sa electoral protest ng anak ng yumaong diktador laban sa ating Vice President, laban sa Vice President ng taumbayan.

Mukhang ang mga pag-atake kay Vice President Leni ay base sa plano ni Bongbong Marcos ay baliktarin ang kagustuhan ng taumbayan at baguhin ang kasaysayan pabor sa kanilang pamilya. Dahil dito, inuulit natin: Diktador si Marcos. Nag-torture siya. Pumatay siya. Nagnakaw siya. At hindi natin ito kakalimutan.
