A petition for a hero’s burial for the
late President Ferdinand Marcos has gained more than one
million signatures and has been formally submitted to the Supreme Court
(SC) on Thursday, October 6.
Marcos loyalists held a unity mass in front of the SC building in Manila before they presented a total of 1,158,606 signatures advocating for Marcos’ burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB).
According to Lawyer Hyacinth Rafael-Antonio, the legal counsel of the Marcos heirs, the steady support for the former president 27 years after his passing shows that “there are numerous Filipinos who are in favor of the burial of the late President at the LNMB.”
The petition consists of signatures from those collected on-ground by Marcos loyalists as well as electronic signatures gathered through a Change.org petition, “#ilibingNa si President Ferdinand Marcos sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.”
The e-signatures were thoroughly cross-checked with the tangible petition to ensure that one signature counted as one vote.
