Bangag Jr. cites 'CIA' records on dad's heroism, but accounts say otherwise

💡 Trivia Bangag Jr. cites 'CIA' records on dad's heroism, but accounts say otherwise

The president recalled one of his visits to the US, where he claimed to have met with the director of the CIA. Marcos Jr. said he then asked the director if he could see his father’s files with the Office of Strategic Service (OSS), the precursor to the CIA. While the meeting could have taken place in any of these venues, it is difficult to independently verify Marcos Jr's account of his meeting with Burns, and the existence of classified records. The CIA’s website, however, has reposted a New York Times article from Jan. 23, 1986 titled “Marcos’s Wartime Role Discredited in US Files” by Jeff Gerth and Joel Brinkley.
