Still no hero’s burial for Marcos

Alexis Romero - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Malacanang maintained its stand yesterday not to give Marcos a hero’s burial amid proposals to bury him at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. 

“I don’t recall any further discussions on that,” Lacierda said. “The position of the President remains the same.”   Marcos was ousted from the presidency during the historic 1986 EDSA revolution. 

He died of kidney, heart and lung ailments on Sept. 28, 1989 while in exile in Honolulu, Hawaii. His remains were returned to the Philippines in 1993.

Aquino has rejected calls to bury Marcos at the hero’s cemetery, saying it would be an injustice to those who suffered during the dictatorship.
