MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer): A petitioner seeking to cancel the certificate of candidacy (COC) of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has claimed that the latter isn’t really the son of the late dictator, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said on Thursday (Nov 25). Tiburcio Marcos claimed in a petition that the real Marcos Jr allegedly died, and the one who currently filed his COC is an alleged impostor. In his vlog in May, Bongbong Marcos already addressed the urban legend that the “real” him is dead. The urban legend goes that Marcos Jr. was stabbed and died during a scuffle while studying abroad. Marcos’ camp was the first to insist on the validity of the drug test results, urging critics not to drag other prominent institutions into their attempt to smear Bongbong.
