Philippines rights groups decry presidential bid of late dictator's son
CNN
Philippines human rights groups staged protests on Wednesday to denounce an attempt by the son and namesake of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos to return his family to power by vying for the presidency.
Marcos, accompanied by his wife and two sons, filed his candidacy for presidential elections in 2022, further shaking up an already polarized political landscape.
"The Marcoses remain scot-free from jail, they haven't returned all the money that they got from the nation's coffers, and now they are making a comeback for the highest position in the land, that is just plain, shameless gall," said Cristina Palabay of rights group Karapatan.
