CLAIM: Only subversives were victimized by the Martial Law regime of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos
RATING: FALSE
A Tiktok user has falsely claimed that only subversives were victimized by the brutal Martial Law regime of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Roger Navales, who goes by the handle @tatayrogerngbayan on Tiktok, made the false claim in a three-minute tirade against journalist Jessica Soho. This was after the controversy over the refusal of the late dictator’s son, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the frontrunner in the presidential race, to guest in Soho’s series of interviews with presidential candidates in January. A clip of Soho’s 2015 graduation speech at UP Cebu, where she spoke out against Martial Law, was spread by Marcos supporters on social media.
Navales claimed, without any basis, that there were only two sides to Martial Law: those who complied with the Marcos government and did not get killed or hurt, and those who sought to overthrow the government and met the opposite fate.
