Actor Romnick Sarmenta made a tweet following the statement of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos during the celebration of the 37th anniversary of EDSA on February 25.
It can be recalled that Marcos Jr. offered reconciliation to his critics for a better tomorrow.
“I once again offer my hand of reconciliation to those with different political persuasions to come together as one in forging a better society — one that will pursue progress and peace and a better life for all Filipinos,” said Marcos Jr.
After Marcos’ statement, Sarmenta said it’s easy to accept the reconciliation offer if they follow such conditions.
“A hand of reconciliation would be easy to receive; if there was full acknowledgement of the the truth of history, reparations were made, if they took accountability, if the victims were recognised and their rights addressed.
Anything less, is simply lip service.” Sarmenta said.

Several fans of Sarmenta praised the actor for his thoughts.
“Buti pa tong si romnick may prinsipyo. Yung ibang artista kahit mawala prinsipyo okay lang basta para sa pera,” netizen Gerald said.
“Parang mas magandang pakinggan yung ‘Im reaching out ‘ kesa sa ‘I offer my hand’. Para kasing kasalanan pa natin.” netizen JV remarked.
“I wish many more of your caliber can this be vocal. Thank you for your discernment. Followers must be really proud of you.” netizen Jax commented.
