Liberal Party President and Albay 1st district Rep. Edcel Lagma has welcomed President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s “offer of reconciliation”.However, Lagman, an administration critic, mentioned a catch before such reconciliation can materialize.“On the 37th anniversary of the EDSA People Power revolution, we welcome the offer of reconciliation by President Marcos Jr.,” Lagman said in a statement Saturday afternoon, Feb. 25.
“But there must first be an admission of the inordinate atrocities and rampant human rights violations during the dark age of martial law. Truth and atonement are conditions precedent to reconciliation,” he added. Earlier Saturday, President Marcos said in commemoration of the bloodless revolution,”I once again offer my hand of reconciliation to those with different political persuasions to come together as one in forging a better society–one that will pursue progress and peace and a better life for all Filipinos.”
Lagman’s brother, fellow lawyer Hermon Lagman, disappeared in 1977 during the martial law era. He was never seen again.
