Rating: FALSE
The facts:
The graphic calling Marcos the best president of the Philippines did not come from ABS-CBN.
A reverse image search showed that the original graphic uploaded on the verified Facebook and Twitter accounts of ABS-CBN News contained different text.
Although both graphics used the same photo of a statue of Marcos, ABS-CBN News’ graphic did not commemorate Marcos as the best president of the Philippines but rather referred to him as a dictator.
The original photo also mentioned the numerous human rights abuses committed under Marcos’ Martial Law, how he was ousted during the 1986 People Power Revolution, and that he died while he was in exile in Hawaii. – Pauline Macaraeg/Rappler.com
