We had better stop this immediately. And as we leave the issue entirely to the Government to decide on, let’s settle key factors among ourselves.



Apart from being a soldier or former president, what are the other requirements for a slot in the Libingan ng mga Bayani? Under the law, are there any exceptions to these two categories which can still block burial at the Libingan?


If there is none, then nothing should block Marcos’ final journey to the resting place for heroes. If there is, then the antis had better come out with it quick, and in detail, for public awareness.


In fairness, Marcos is both a former president and soldier. As a lot of us now, he earned 27 medals or so while fighting for our country during World War 2.


There are questions on the veracity of the supposed gallantry in action behind his medals. So where is the CONTRADICTORY PROOF? Physical, contradictory proof? Witnesses, please, if any.


If there is physical proof, then the Marcoses must be allowed to refuse this. If there is none, then debates on that aspect must cease and the former president must be allowed in the Libingan.



Marcos supposedly stole from the Government and amassed dirty money in the billions during his term. Again, where is the proof, and the supporting law or rule to justify his exception from the Libingan?


And assuming that he had indeed committed mortal sins during his presidency, isn’t he entitled to forgiveness and a peaceful rest now that he’s dead? After all, millions of our people continue to benefit to this day from the good things Marcos had left behind, like the LRT, the Coastal Road and the San Juanico Bridge.


For those who will say Marcos is unforgivable, the next question is WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? If our Lord Jesus Christ can forgive, why can’t you?

STOP FIGHTING OVER MARCOS BURIAL AT LIBINGAN
