ILOCOS Norte Rep. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos yesterday said his father, the late President Ferdinand Marcos, deserves to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani being a World War II veteran.
“My father is long dead. My only wish is that he will be given a decent burial,” said Marcos.
Rep. Marcos asked presidential candidate Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III not to be too personal against them and instead open his heart towards genuine reconciliation.
“We must come together. We must move forward. We need genuine reconciliation.
It’s time we bury the hatchet. I hope he won’t get too personal,” he said.
The Ilocos Norte congressman made his statement after Aquino claimed that he won’t allow the late president to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani if he is elected president.
The young Marcos said he finds it strange why Aquino suddenly backtracked from his earlier stand of creating a commission that would decide whether the older Marcos can be buried at the resting place for heroes.
“I just hope that Noynoy will remove anger from his heart. We need genuine reconciliation so the nation can move forward. ’Wag na niya kaming personalin,” said Rep. Marcos.
Meanwhile, he thanked Sen. Manny Villar, Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and former President Joseph Estrada, also presidential candidates, for their position that his father deserves a hero’s burial
