Mga ungas lang ang mag lilibing kay marcos sa libingan ng mga bayani. Pag nilibing si marcos kasama ng mga tunay na bayani sa paniniwalang naging mabutinsyang pinunondahil sa mga naidulot nyang kabutihan noong pag-didikta nya, para mo naring sinabi na karapat dapat din nating tangkilikin ang mga pinuno natin na ubod ng garapal sa pankukurakot. Lahat ng tao ay may kabutihan at kasamaan subalit kadalasan, ang kasamaan ang nangingibabaw sa dalawa. Uulitin ko, para sa mga taong may kokote na parang talong, dapat ba natin ilibing ang mga criminal (eg. Mga nasa kulangan at wala) sa libingan ng mga bayani dahil sa isang punto ng buhay nila ay may mga nagawa silang kabutihan. Kung sagot mo ay oo, dapat tangalan ka ng karapatan para bumoto at makasama sa proseso sa pagunlad ng ating bansa. Ang pagiisip ng gaya ng utak mo ang syang dahilan kung bakit hindi tayo makaahon sa kumunoy na nilatag ng ating gobyerno.

I guess everybody still talking about things which long time gone..we all learned about it and let’s just say move on and be a part of creating a new government w/ true democratic form..w/o paying the voters to vote freely,no forced kindness,and be keen to observe the truth about history where we came from and how does true heroes defended the country w/o any expected profit..In my opinion Ferdinand Marcos was a great man and once a PRESIDENT of the Philippines deserves to be buried in the National Heroes cemetery same like the other Presidents and all future Presidents do. They are part of the history and let us say to be EQUAL to majority of people who called him hero. Remember! since his exile never we put up a president who cares more but their pockets and their names.Many from those who opposed him once said we are victorious promised changes and freedom but where are they?JUST WORDS-WITHOUT EQUAL ACTIONS..aLL I CAN SAY”BE KEEN TO OBSERVE THE TRUTH AND START READING HISTORY”..one great observation i have is”Filipinos are easy to deceive and manapulate because of their being emotional and trustfulness.

Ferdie was a president and should be buried as a president. He has delivered, implemented excellent and superior planning to improve the condition of our country, our people and the environment. From underdevolop to developing country during his time takes time and he has done it. His vision for the country and our neighbouring countries was slowly taking shape and you can see those infrastructures and innovations that we admired today. Im sure he has plans for the country for the next 20-50 years that needs to progress,
For the love of God and peace its a small ask to bury him peacefully.

Since Marcos was gone pinas has gone from Bad to fucking unbearable? The only country left in Asia whose people are not prospering, whose college grads cannot get good jobs. Every president since Marcos did nothing….corruption was and is rampant…the people are not spoken for. Marcos at least stood for something and he cared about the people. Brainwashed in an understatement.

mtm. Not an Illocano, but sure wish I was after reading all the garbage comments here

Cremate him and send his dishonorable ashes out to sea. Marcos was an evil dictator. He made off with BILLION$ of our U.S. dollars that were meant to help the people of the Philippines. The only memory of his life should be his sinister and evil life as an example of what we do not want in the world.

@Truth Commission:
the comments you read are not bullshits. That is their opinion. Now if you don’t agree with their view then its your problem. You don’t have the right to criticize them just because their opinion sucked. Saying that we are an imbecile race, doesn’t mean you’re not (get my drift?)
I’m not sure if your brain’s all fried up or what and I’m not saying that you know less about what really happened but you have no idea how harsh he was when he was in power.

One more thing, halata namang pilipino ka bakit ganyan nalang ang turing mo sa amin?

It just bothers me that until now we still argue whether Marcos was corrupt or not. To those who are Pro-Marcos and always say that he did good things like these projects he put up for our country I will have to say–Yes, we are thankful for those but it seems like we owe this projects to him. It was his job to make those–it was not from his own pocket–it was from the people’s money so why do we have to feel as if we owe him? This culture is still present and I’m sick of seeing politician’s putting up their names on every project they make– “Through the efforts of _________.”

To those who have benefited from Marcos (specially from those places where they both came) they would always praise him for all the things he’s done to them. Of course! they would! It’s a like kid who robs and kills and yet when he gets caught his mother would always say–”Oh my boy would never do that… he’s a good boy…”

I’ve comments like–”He was a good man because he was my dad’s friend and he was very good to us..” or “my father fought together with him during the world war II..” or “he was so good to us because when my son got sick he gave us money..”– any drug dealer, killer, rapist, robber, etc. could do that!!!

Some would say, “Get two-sides of the story.” I would agree entirely. Marcos had two sides of him just like the rest of us. We should praise him to the good things he’s done but at the same time we should also not deny that he also did a lot of evil things and these things should be known. Regardless of all the good things that he has made the evil things that he did somehow overshadowed everything and has metastasized like a growing disease. And no matter how you try to do good things he could no longer find any cure.

Some would also say–”Oh it was not Marcos it was Imelda who’s bad.” He’s the husband, the father, the lawyer, the president— I think he knows what’s happening and don’t you think he’s not in control? And same goes to making reasons like he was framed up or for any reasons at all. I think he was wise enough to know what’s happening and what he should do. He was such a wise man and I think he was capable of doing anything he wants. All that a dictator has to do is to— DICTATE! simple… and he can get things done.

He was like Hitler not that he was totally. Germany never believed that Holocaust ever happened and even until now there are groups who are trying to say that it never happened. While the rest of Germany was celebrating with Hitler’s accomplishments they didn’t know that he was also killing Jews mercilessly. For them he was their HERO just like some of us think that Marcos should be buried in the Heroe’s Cemetery.

To those who suffered during Marcos’ Regime making him a hero would be a such a big insult and if we do make such a risky move then this would make another nationwide or even worldwide attention. I hope that we should not stir things up again so we could move on. Our road to freedom and redemption is just taking so long. I hope we get there soon. I’m even glad the corrupt officials are being exposed right now. We should have a political overhaul.

I’m not Pro-Aquino as well but somehow I can’t help wondering what could have happened if Marcos stayed in power? If Mrs. Corazon chickened out and didn’t run for president I wonder what could have happened? She was not the best but at least she tried. I was kind of hoping that she would stop wearing yellow dresses but sad to say even until the time of her death she brings that color with her signifying that the fight for corruption is this country is still far from over.

I hope that we should be moving forward. I hope we don’t need another EDSA Revolution anymore. I also hope we get the whole truth about the Marcoses if ever that does happen. As long as we’re still breathing then I guess we still have hope.
