There will be no state funeral or any kind of state honors for the toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos under the Aquino administration, President Benigno Aquino III said.
President Benigno Aquino (left) says there will be no state funeral or any kind of state honors for the late Ferdinand Marcos whose remains lie in an airconditioned glass case in Batac, Ilocos Norte.
Aquino said before the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines that the victims of martial law have yet to be accorded any apology or compensation.
“It will be the height of injustice to render any state honors to the direct mastermind of all their suffering,” the President said.
“I will not be sanctioning a burial for the late President Marcos,” he said.
