‘Kris,’ pumalag sa eksena sa Malacañang… history vs historiography...

Ganito ang isyu ngayon sa isang eksena sa pelikulang maid in malacañang.

Makikita sa nasabing eksena na may isang babaeng naka-dilaw na may tinatawagan at nagsalita ng “Get them out of the Philippines.”

Walang binanggit na pangalan sa pelikula pero alam na si former Pres. Cory Aquino ang nasabing character.

Kaya’t naglabas ng pahina ng librong People Power : An Eyewitness History ang fan page sa Twitter ni Kris.

Ang nasabing pahina ng libro ay sinulat ni da­ting Supreme Court Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma.

At nakasaad dito na:

“On Tuesday evening, I was with Cory in the home of her sister, Josephine Reyes. There Cory received the phone call from US Ambassador Bosworth, telling her that Marcos was ready to leave but was asking to stay for at least two days in Paoay, his home in the North.

“Cory’s initial reaction was: ‘Poor man, let us give him two days.’ But we did not agree with that idea. We thought that given the chance, Marcos may regroup his forces or extend his stay indefinitely.

“Cory then called Ambassador Bosworth to say that she could not grant the request. Marcos should just leave the country.

“When Ambassador Bosworth called her back, it was to say that Marcos had left. Cool as always, Cory turned to us after she put the phone down. She said simply: ‘Marcos has left.’ She said it as if it was the most ordinary thing. We all shouted jubilantly. Cory did not,” ang buong nakasulat sa nasabing pahina.
