In most countries and governments, historical revisionism (the reexamination, rewriting, or distortion of the historical record) normally takes place after a decent time interval, or after there is a change of regimes or governments.

In the case of the government of President Benigno Aquino III, it is doing something unprecedented and bizarre, which not even Nazi Germany and Military-Dictatorship Japan ventured to do during their heyday. It seeks to revise and distort the historical record of the Aquino presidency while it is still in office. It does not want to leave to historians, librarians and archivists the task of keeping for posterity the records, documents and accounts of events during the Aquino regime. It is denying with a straight face what has been retold over and over.
