"Bong bong Marcos is dead" Propaganda By yellow Army in 1980's
Anyone who is old enough to remember the Marcos era might be familiar with rumors that then President Marcos’ son, Bongbong, passed away while studying in London. The rumor went as far as saying that the Bongbong Marcos seen in political and social functions then was just a look-alike, a relative or a clone of the real one.
This urban legend sounds absurd but writer and director Jose Javier Reyes provided reasons why it became widespread: “Hinog para kumalat ang mga ganitong kalokohang tsismis… kasi nga wala talagang klarong impormasyon doon sa mga nangyayari.”
Castro agreed. “Ito ay panahon ng Martial Law. Lahat ng sabihin ng diktador ay siyang katotohanan. Isa itong paraan ng pagpo-protesta na ‘Hindi kami naniniwala sa bersiyon ng pamahalaan na siya ay nakaligtas.’”
