George Calvelo, ABS-CBN News/File. </div>MANILA — The August Twenty-One Movement (ATOM) on Saturday slammed the <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2026/6/6/sandiganbayan-dismisses-remaining-asset-claims-in-marcoses-ill-gotten-wealth-case-0015">Sandiganbayan’s decision dismissing the remaining asset claims</a> and what it said was the Presidential Commission on Good Government&#x27;s &quot;surrender&quot; in the forfeiture case against the Marcos family, calling both &quot;totally unacceptable.&quot;The resolution was issued after the PCGG — the agency mandated to recover the alleged ill-gotten wealth of the Marcos family — said it would no longer present further evidence for the unresolved asset claims in Civil Case No. 0141.PCGG “appears to have waved the white flag,” the group formed in response to the assassination of opposition figure Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983 said.“Just because the Dutertes appear to be the main villains this month doesn&#x27;t mean you should dismiss cases against the Marcoses like a thief in the night,” the group said.“Sobrang halata naman iyong timing nito (The timing is so suspect)!” it added.The group recalled that former first lady Imelda Marcos was found guilty of<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/11/09/18/imelda-marcos-found-guilty-of-graft"> seven counts of graft</a> by the Sandiganbayan and was sentenced to up to 11 years in prison in 2018 but that sentence has not been served.The case stemmed from complaints filed in 1991 when prosecutors alleged that the Marcos family channeled public funds into their personal accounts overseas.ATOM said the developments “proved to everyone that crime does pay.&quot; It added that the “conjugal dictatorship of Marcos and Romualdez” has been duplicated by politicians and dynasties.The group stressed that victims of killings during the dictatorship deserve as much justice as those killed in the Duterte administration&#x27;s war on drugs.“And a lot of them are still alive. They never moved on. They never got justice. Sana huwag din nating kalimutan na namatay na lamang ng walang pagkakakulong si Ferdinand Marcos Sr. (May we never forget that Ferdinand Marcos Sr. died without having been kailed),” it added.The group further urged the public to continue demanding accountability from the Marcos and Romualdez families. &quot;It&#x27;s not about politics. It&#x27;s about ending this cycle of curse in our country. The original sin of failing to hold the Marcoses accountable remains,&quot; ATOM said. — With reports from Kaxandra Salonga, ABS-CBN News<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/07/19/23/sc-affirms-junking-of-ill-gotten-wealth-case-vs-marcos-imelda-cronies">Supreme Court affirms junking of ill-gotten wealth case vs Marcos, Imelda, cronies</a></div>
