Senator Bongbong Marcos has attributed to politics the staging of an online exhibition of the Marcos jewelry collection that was seized by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) in the aftermath of the people power revolution that toppled the government of his father, the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.
The PCGG’s online exhibit titled “virtual jewelry exhibit, a story of excesses: what could have fueled a nation’s development” began on March 16.
The PCGG said it is “to show and remind the present generation of the excesses and extravagance of the Marcoses in their two-decade dictatorship.”
The young Marcos questions the timing of the exhibit and laments that it was clearly an attempt to put a dent on his vice presidential campaign.
Based on surveys, Marcos is statistically tied with Senator Chiz Escudero for first place in the race for the vice presidency. (Eagle News Service)
