TIMELINE: The Marcos burial controversy

The long-running issue of whether or not former president Ferdinand Marcos

should be buried at the Libingan ng mgaBayani (Heroes' Cemetery) has finally been
put to rest.
Marcos was stealthily buried at the Heroes' Cemetery past noon with full
military honors.
Just 10 days earlier, the Supreme Court on November 8, decided that the late
dictator can be buried at the Libingan – nearly 3 months after President Rodrigo
Duterte gave his marching orders for burial preparations. Martial Law victims had
filed petitions to block it.
The 21-year administration of Marcos is notorious for its many human rights
abuses. Amnesty International recorded about 70,000 people imprisoned, 34,000
tortured, and 3,240 were killed from 1972 to 1981 – the years when the Philippines
was placed under Martial Law.

7
 In the past 27 years, the final resting place of Marcos had been highly debated
but on November 18, it was silenced. He was finally buried at the Libingan ng mga
Bayani (Heroes' Cemetery).

Directions: Answer the following questions and give your own opinion or stand.

1. Do you agree with the decision of the Supreme Court to bury Former President
Ferdinad E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mgaBayani (Heroes' Cemetery)? Defend
your stand.

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________.

2. Are you also in favor of Pres. Duterte’s decision? Why or Why not?

________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________.

3. Why do you think the government decided to bury the remains of late Marcos at
Libingan ng mga Bayani?
