Placing Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos behind bars following her conviction for graft will not do the country any good, House Deputy Minority Leader Danilo Suarez claimed. If you have her arrested, the issue will only become bigger,” Suarez told reporters. “The critics of the late (dictator) have done nothing but look for the wrong that he had done. “Give me one case wherein you can accuse the (Marcos) family of stealing money from the government. It’s because they are communists in the first place.”“They were the enemies of the state,” he added.
