Despite protests, Marcos is buried at heroes’ cemetery
MANILA, Philippines — Ferdinand Marcos was being buried at a heroes’ cemetery Friday in a secrecy-shrouded ceremony, police officials said, despite growing opposition after the Supreme Court ruled that one of Asia’s most infamous tyrants can be entombed in the cemetery.
Police Chief Superintendent Oscar Albayalde said authorities earlier finalized the burial plans with the Marcos family Thursday, adding the former president’s remains were flown by helicopter from his northern Ilocos Norte hometown for burial in the military-run cemetery in Manila.
