Boy Abunda, in a one-on-one interview with Marcos that aired Tuesday, asked the presidential aspirant whether data from Amnesty International were just lies. "According to Amnesty International during your father’s presidency, from 1972 to 1981, about 72,000 were imprisoned, 34,000 were tortured and 3,240 were killed. Tanong: Itong data ba na galing sa Amnesty International, Sen. Bongbong, ito ba ay pawang kasinungalingan lamang (Are these just lies)?" In a statement, Amnesty International Philippines said that it will send Marcos copies of the reports on human rights violations during the elder Marcos' dictatorship.
