Para sa Pinay Broadway star na si Lea Salonga, may mga naitulong daw sa kanya ang pamilyang Marcos noong nagsisimula pa lamang siya sa showbiz at hinuhubog pa lang ang kanyang talento sa pagkanta.
Nitong mga nakaraang araw, may ilang netizens ang nagtanong kay Lea kung ano ang pananaw niya sa mga Marcoses.
Naging mainit muli ang apelyidong Marcos dahil sa pagtakbo ni Senator Bongbong Marcos sa pagka-bise presidente.
Matatandaang ang dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos ay naging diktador sa loob ng halos dalawampung taon.
Pahayag ni Lea, magkakaiba raw ang pananaw na tao sa pulitika at sa mga pulitikong sinusuportahan.
Pero hindi niya maaaring tawaran ang naiambag ng rehimeng Marcos sa paghubog ng sining sa bansa.
INJUSTICES. Dahil sa opinyong ito ni Lea, may nagtanong sa kanya tungkol sa diumano’y human rights violation na naganap noong martial law.
You break my heart @MsLeaSalonga your career seems to hold more importance to u over life and basic rights of others https://t.co/wYOBuuASfN

.@MsLeaSalonga hindi rin ba importante yung perspektibo ng mga ginahasa? Pinatay? Inabuso? Pag-isipan natin ng mabuti please!

@eugenienicole Do not assume you know my entire perspective from one exchange on Facebook. You are being wholly unfair and judgmental.

@eugenienicole And in celebrating the good, I don't ignore the bad. The good and bad are part of the whole truth.

.@MsLeaSalonga but u must admit that it has always been the torture and abuse of martial law that makes everything else unjustifiable
— Eugenie Huibonhoa (@eugenienicole) May 15, 2016
@eugenienicole I don't know about making blanket statements, but the abuses should not ever be forgotten.

.@MsLeaSalonga the good of the Marcos period does not justify the murder. And that is a blanket statement I can confidently make.

@eugenienicole Important of course. But when you're 10 and sheltered, you know what you know. And then you discover more as you grow.
— Lea Salonga (@MsLeaSalonga) May 15, 2016
.@MsLeaSalonga I believe that the way you formed your arguments and worded your statements are very, very dangerous.

DISAPPOINTED. Dahil sa palitang ito sa kanyang Twitter follower ay nadismaya ang ilang tagahanga ni Lea.
@eugenienicole APPARENTLY jusko po. Sooo disappointed w/ her. Her arguments were sooo wtf. #BoycottAladdin #JK

@michellemelchor I respect her for her talent still; breaks my heart that she can make a comment so selfish and try to justify it pa. Sad.

Pero sa huli, inamin naman ni Lea na si Leni Robredo ng Liberal Party ang kanyang ibinoto.
For the record, I voted for Leni (and was in the minority as far as the OAV votes). But let the truth rule. Read on. https://t.co/zzq9gIkpIT
