Doon pa lang, naging presidente siya, so doon pa lang huwag natin kalimutan ang nagawa niya sa ating bayan, sa ating bansa, iyong mga na-accomplish niya during his term,” Pacquiao told reporters on Monday.</p><br/><p>[He was elected by the people.

Mas nauna pagka-elect niya as president,” he noted.</p><br/><p>[We are considering that, but which came first, his election as president or Martial law, right? His election as president came first.]</p><br/><p>Quoting from the Bible, the boxer-politician also urges the people to forgive Marcos so the nation can start moving on. He said his being a president should count and that’s what is more important.</p><br/><p>On Marcos’ alleged fake claim that he is a war hero, Pacquiao declined to make any comment, but stressed that the former was elected by the people and did not force himself to the people to become president.</p><br/><p>He added that Marcos being a former leader is a qualification enough for him to deserve a hero’s burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.</p><br/><aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main"></aside> <center> </center><br/><p><strong><a href="https://blockads.fivefilters.org">Let’s block ads!</a></strong> <a href="https://github.com/fivefilters/block-ads/wiki/There-are-no-acceptable-ads">(Why?)</a></p><br/><p><a href="http://kickerdaily.com/posts/2016/08/pacquiao-dont-forget-marcos-accomplishments-lets-forgive-him/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a></p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br/></div><br/></div>
