Kahit saang anggulo at tingnan ang pagpapalibing kay Strongman Former President Ferdinand Marcos ay legal at naayon sa batas.
President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday reiterated his argument that the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos deserves to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani because he is a soldier and a former president.
“Even if he is not a hero, he was a soldier. Even if he didn’t receive the medals, correct, but that is the record of another country. Why would I, in making a decision, refer to the records of another country? We have long ceased to be a vassal state of the United States (US). Tapos na ‘yan(That’s over). It’s history,” said Duterte on Thursday, August 11, at a press conference in Davao City.
“Ang Pilipinas (The Philippines) is you need only to be a president and a solider. Nobody is debating about heroes here. Assuming it to be true na wala siyang medalya (that he does not have medals) or not validated by an American record does not mean that he is not qualified to be buried there. So what’s the objection?” he added.
