Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo expressed her objection to the burial of the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB).
President Rodrigo Duterte announced his decision that he will allow the late President to be given a heroes burial at LNMB.
Here is the statement of the Vice President posted on her Facebook account:
“We strongly oppose the decision to bury former President Ferdinand Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
How can we allow a hero’s burial for a man who has plundered our country and was responsible for the death and disappearance of many Filipinos? Those who have greatly committed crimes and moral turpitude to the Filipino people cannot be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
This decision will not bring unity to our country; it will only deepen the unhealed wounds of the survivors and family members of victims of the terrible years under the Marcos presidency.
