“The human rights violations during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. had been proven to be false and were mere invention and propaganda by the opposition.”
What Vera Files found
The Human Rights Violations Victims’ Memorial Commission has documented 11,103 Filipinos who suffered abuse under the Marcos regime and eligible to receive compensations from the P10- billion fund from the Marcos Swiss accounts. In 1995, some 10,000 of these victims of human rights won a class-action lawsuit in Hawaii where a jury found the late dictator guilty of the “torture, murder and disappearances of fellow Filipinos.”
