Caught! Checkmate!

It had been a game, for the Marcos family, all along, this money matter, no one admits to the plunder the strongman/dictator Marcos had corrupted this nation, and todate, the victims of Martial Law had yet to taste justice, via a compensation they deserve for the injustices they endured those dark years. The Marcos siblings breeze through questions, when asked about their wealth, and it is as if it was just a game of Hide and Seek, they hide the money, the people seek. Or a game of Chess, protect the kingdom, at all cost! Well, over a quarter of a century now, an entirely mew generation had grown, oblivious to the blood that had been shed for the democracy they are enjoying now. And the perpetrators of the crimes had passed on as gentle men and ladies, kind and beautiful. Someone wrote "God sees the truth but waits." And perhaps God deems it is time now, for justice to be served. A research journalism team stumbled upon an Offshore Trust, the beneficiaries of which are Imee Marcos and her children. What is all the fuzz about? Well then, Imee did not declare the Offshore Trust in her Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Network. Under the law, if one is in a public office, all assets must be declared in the SALN. When queried, Ilocos Governor Imee, with brother Senator Bongbong, avoided answers by saying that there is a legal issue there, so they leave it to the lawyers. Sometimes, justice comes in peculiar ways. No way, legally, can the governor get off the hook there. She never disclosed that Offshore Trust. Checkmate.
