The Rappler columnist digs into the most pervasive myths of the Martial Law era in his book 'False Nostalgia: The Marcos 'Golden Age' Myths and How to Debunk Them.’

MANILA, Philippines – On the eve of the 37th anniversary of the 1986 People Power Revolution, economist and Rappler columnist JC Punongbayan launched his book,at the University of the Philippines School of Economics.

The book addresses the following myths, among others: that the Philippines was the richest country in Asia back then; that poverty, crime and corruption then was low; and that the Marcoses own a million tons of gold.But even as these myths fueled the movement that propelled the dictator’s son, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., back to Malacañang, Punongbayan believes these myths should still be challenged.

Rappler editor-at-large Marites Vitug, who was a reactor to the book launch discussion, said it was notable that a millennial was challenging the Marcos myths.

Kwentong dilawan na naman kumita lang ng pera

Ahahahaha ewan ko lang

What qualifies jcpunongbayan to write this book about ML, knowing that he is an out and out Dilawan / Pinklawan. How on earth can he be objective about the Subject. He will only proliferate / expound the lies that has been peddled to for past 37 years.

Now available in Lazada for 530 php !!!
