What's hot …
Widow declines offer for ‘Libingan’ burial BY RAYMOND AFRICA MALAYA MARIA Leonor “Leni” Robredo, widow of Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, yesterday declined the offer of Malacañang to bury her husband at the Libingan ng mga Bayani because her husband, she said, had preferred to be buried in his hometown, Naga City. “We feel very honored na in-offer yung Libingan ng mga Bayani but we are Read More …
By Raïssa Robles RaissaRobles.com This is just too delicious to pass up. And also unexpected. Former Local Governments Secretary Rafael Alunan – the person assigned to deal with Imelda Marcos on the return of her husband Ferdinand’s body for burial in 1992 – commented on my piece entitled Did VP Jojo Binay mislead PNoy on the Marcos burial issue? I’m reproducing below what Alunan wrote Read More …
Pagtanaw at Pananaw Bert de Guzman* BALITA (Manila Bulletin) Tapos na ang boksing. Tapos na ang mga haka-haka. Ayaw ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino na mailibing sa LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI si dating Pangulong Ferdinand E.

Telltale Signs By Rodel Rodis When I wrote about why Pres. Noynoy (PNoy) Aquino passed the buck to Vice President Jojo Binay to decide on whether the late dictator should be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Cemetery for Heroes), I excerpted a portion of Candy Cruz’s April 28, 2011 Facebook message to Aurora Pijuan which was posted in the Internet. Although I do Read More …
EDITORIAL By Perry Diaz Global Balita Vice President Jejomar “Jojo” Binay’s recommendation to bury the remains of the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos with “full military honors” in his home province of Ilocos Norte, not at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery), is the best solution to President Benigno Aquino III’s dilemma. It’s an equitable compromise considering that it has divided the people in Read More …
AT GROUND LEVEL By Satur C. Ocampo The Philippine Star I wasn’t at all surprised that Rep. Salvador H. Escudero III had filed a resolution in the House of Representatives (HR 1135) urging the Aquino government to allow the burial of the remains of former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Neither was I surprised but nonetheless dismayed that over two-thirds Read More …
Source: abs-cbnNEWS.com MANILA, Philippines – Vice-President Jejomar Binay on Wednesday said he will still talk to President Benigno Aquino III regarding the issue of a hero’s burial for former president Ferdinand Marcos. Binay clarified that the survey he conducted was not a case of who agrees more to a hero’s burial for Marcos. He said he just wants to get the arguments and thoughts of Read More …
