[OPINION] Lamenting injustice: Ilokanos in Hawaii and transnational Marcos loyalism

'Pro-Marcos memories and affection will continue with the continued migration of Ilokanos to Hawaii.' ThoughtLeaders piece by Oxford Brookes University sociology lecturer Roderick Guerrero Galam:

Long before the Marcos family embarked upon using social media to rehabilitate themselves by projecting the Marcos years as the country’s golden era, and therefore their expulsion an injustice, a good number of Ilokano writers since 1986 have represented the Marcoses as victims of vindictive forces in the Philippines. Unlike the Marcos family’s paid social media content generators and trolls, these writers wrote out of the conviction of their hearts.

A number of these Ilokano writers are long-time residents of Hawaii, where Ferdinand Marcos continues to be widely supported, a support that has been passed on to his son, Bongbong Marcos Jr. In their exile in Hawaii, the Marcoses, especially Ferdinand, enjoyed strong support from the Filipino, but especially Ilokano, community. Hawaii-based Ilokano writers have long lamented the injustice committed against Ferdinand Marcos and his family. Here, I will focus on just two. Mario A.

Agbaliw la ketdi ti pamanunotam kadagiti pammabasolda kenkuana no makitam ti panagkararagna.“Cry, My Beloved People” humanizes Marcos. Albalos takes pains to depict him as this leader who, forcibly driven out of the country he loves dearly, tenaciously hangs on to the hope that he would one day go back to it.

Although the account here may be questionable , it is right to say that Marcos fought hard to make America take responsibility for Vietnamese refugees in the Philippines., initially, the US considered refugees who landed in Clark Air Force Base and Subic Naval Base as Washington’s responsibility, and so were later resettled in the US.
