MANILA, Philippines – The family of former president Ferdinand Marcos is still hopeful that President Benigno Aquino III will have a change of heart and allow the burial of the late dictator at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
“We are hoping at any point that something will happen, or there will be a change of mind and the true spirit of reconciliation will finally come through,” Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. told reporters in an interview Monday.
“The position of the family has not changed. It is our continuing belief that, as a soldier who heroically fought against the invaders in the Second World War and as the longest sitting president, it is my father’s right to be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani,” he said.
