MANILA, Philippines – Amid the outrage over the Official Gazette’s caption on a photo marking the 99th birth anniversary of Ferdinand Marcos, Filipinos have taken to Twitter to offer their own examples of historical revisionism.

Netizens launched the #SuperficialGazette hashtag for tweets about certain events and issues in Philippine history, and how they would be narrated if viewed through a distorted lens.

Most of the posts revolved around the atrocities during Martial Law.
