Marcoses in the Philippines ... Court junks Php51B suit vs Marcoses ...

Many cases were dropped against the Marcoses because the Presidential Commission on Good Goverment or PCGG created during the Aquino regime after the 1986 Edsa People Power wasn't able to provide material evidences on these claims of ill gotten wealth. The PCGG was created to go after such wealth by the Marcoses but until now, none were retrieved and proven to be stolen from the goverment of the Philippines during the Marcos regime. What the commission has now, were just the properties that were sequestered for example the Marcos mansion in Baguio City, which was taken by the PCGG and was left to rot. If the government should have taken care of these properties then maybe it could be a source of funds now. The Aquino goverment and PCGG should stop going after this ill gotten wealth of the Marcoses instead concentrate in going after the tax evaders.
