Marcos family asked Duterte to declare holiday on dictator’s birth centennial —source


It was the Marcos family who asked President Rodrigo Duterte to declare a special non-working day in Ilocos Norte on the late dictator’s 100th birth anniversary.
A highly-placed source confirmed this to GMA News’ Cedric Castillo on Friday.
“The Ilocano community has been annually celebrating the birthdate of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos, and commemorating his life and contributions to national development as a World War II veteran, distinguished legislator, and former president,” the proclamation read.
Marcos was born on September 11, 1917 in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte. He died on September 28, 1989 in Honolulu, Hawaii, three years after being ousted in the EDSA People Power revolution.
Marcos’ daughter Imee Marcos is currently the governor of the province.
The heirs of Marcos will commemorate the occasion at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, the Armed Forces of the Philippines confirmed on Friday.
The remains of the former president were clandestinely buried at the Libingan on November 18 last year, just 10 days after the Supreme Court ruled to dismiss the consolidated petitions seeking to prevent Marcos’ burial at the heroes’ cemetery. —JST, GMA News

Liberals Attack Melania For Leaving Asia Early After Hearing What She Has Planned In Alaska

First Lady Melania Trump is not accompanying President Donald Trump to Vietnam as she heads to Alaska. But, don’t expect the mainstream media to cover any of it as the First Lady is on a mission, putting American’s first. The president moved on to Vietnam for an important trade conference, and when the press discovered the first lady was diverting to Alaska after learning “Americans need her there,” they scoffed since it’s not what Michelle Obama would ever do. First Lady Melania Trump (left & right) (Photo Credit: Joe Raedle/Getty Images) The mainstream media can’t stop praising and fawning over Michelle Obama, but if Melania Trump does something “patriotic,” they dismiss it and won’t give it any press. That is exactly what is happening right now as the president bypassed the liberal media, once again, and made sure we knew where the first lady was going. “I am leaving China for  # APEC2017  in Vietnam.  @ FLOTUS  Melania is staying behind to s...

Racist Singer Demands ‘Whites Move To Back,’ Shocked When She Sees Who’s In The Front Row

Image
A blatant racist is getting a bit more attention than she wanted after deciding to specifically target white people. As it turns out, the singer told white people in her audience to “move to the back,” but things quickly took a turn – and that’s about the time she was left shocked to see who was standing in the front row. Society is being perverted in ways that betray what are supposed to be moral, social norms in the name of political correctness. In fact, just that was proven as singer Lido Pimienta was performing at a music festival in Halifax, Canada. As it turns out, Pimienta is an overt racist, and she doesn’t care who knows it. In fact, her Twitter profile shows that she is more than comfortable when it comes to attacking people for merely being white: Lido Pimienta     ✔ @LidoPimienta All my followers and supporters confronting the hateful and misguided and misinformed messages, please take care of yourselves! LOVE YOU! XO Brandon Fia...

OMG! Kellyanne Conway Just Went On CNN And Set Their Lies On Fire With One Sentence

Image
CNN just recently had an interview with Kellyanne Conway and CNN’s Alisyn Camerota being the host. After a few minutes of talking Conway finally loses all of her patience for the way CNN was praising Hillary Clinton like someone who did the right thing. They talked about how Hillary funded the Russian dossier. Camerota tried to turn the tables to point out Trump’s alleged connection with Russia. “I DO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE. PEOPLE ARE NOW WRITING ABOUT OUR DISCUSSION, AND EARLIER IN YOUR BROADCAST, TWO COMMENTATORS MENTIONED, ‘OH, WE JUST LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HILLARY.’ YOU’RE STILL TALKING ABOUT HILLARY! I’LL MAKE YOU A DEAL — I’LL NEVER SAY A WORD [ABOUT HILLARY] AGAIN.” “SHE WAS THE LOSER, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT HER. YOU TREAT HER BOOK LIKE IT IS NOT FICTION. SHE GETS A PLATFORM ON CNN PLENTY. AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE FROM HER CAMPAIGN ON YOUR NETWORK FOR THE LAST YEAR TO SIT THERE AND NEVER ADMIT THEY PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS PHONY DOSSIER.” Ads...
