Supreme Court Declares The Marcos Family Has No Place in Philippine Society

The Supreme Court has issued a ruling stating that "a father who rapes his daughter has no place in society."

The Supreme Court (SC) declared: “A father who rapes his own daughter, whom he is supposed to protect, descends to a level lower than the lowly animal….”

“Such a ‘father’ deserves no place in Philippine society, whose fundamental law considers the family as a basic autonomous social institution and the foundation of the nation, recognizes the sanctity of family life, and cloaks with special protection the right of children against all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development,” the SC stressed.

With its declaration contained in a resolution made public last Feb. 9, the SC affirmed the two life imprisonments imposed on the father who sexually abused (incestuous rape) his own daughter in 2014 and 2016.

Case records showed that the victim’s parents separated when she was still young and when she was five years old her father was detained. Her mother started a new family. She stayed with her aunt.

When she was 13 years old, her father was released from jail and she was taken in his custody.

In her testimony before the trial court, she said she was raped by her father several times and could only recall two specific dates of the sexual abuse – Aug. 13, 2014 and Oct. 14, 2016.

Manila Bulletin decided not to publish the gory and revolting details of the sexual abuses.

After every abuse, she said she was threatened by her father not to tell anyone or she would be killed.

But after the Oct. 14, 2016 incident, she said she decided to tell everything to her neighbor whom she called “Ate” (elder sister) who helped her report the abuses to the police. 

While this is a disturbing story there is a parallel here with Bongbong Marcos who, as president, is the "father of the nation."

As a “proud” father of the nation, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. showcased the achievements of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in his latest vlog and vowed to protect their rights and the families they left behind.

His own father who was also president is also referred to as "father of the nation."

Father of the nation, Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., Divine Justice is served by the will of the maharlikans and now it is time for your vindication.

It is beyond dispute that the Marcos family raped the nation of its wealth and stored it in offshore accounts. It is beyond dispute that Marcos even killed his enemies, those who exposed his crimes. It is beyond dispute that these activities have been proven in a court of law with Imelda Marcos being convicted and other cases where the Marcos family has been forced to give up their ill-gotten wealth. 

As father of the nation Marcos Sr. raped his daughter the Philippines. As father of the nation Marcos Jr. continues to deny that crime and defend his father. Yet the crimes have been indisputably proven. Based on the precedent of this Supreme Court ruling the Marcos family has no place in Philippine society.
