Marcos supporters began yesterday a four-day caravan to press for the
burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga
Bayani.
Dubbed as Kailian March, the caravan started at Paoay Church, where a unity mass was held.
The caravan is expected to arrive in San Fernando City, La Union
today and pass by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. It will proceed to
Pangasinan then Tarlac, where unity masses will also be held.
Tomorrow, the caravan will be in Pampanga and Bulacan. It is expected
to arrive Manila by Monday. A unity mass and vigil will be held in
front of the Supreme Court (SC).
Sources said Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos would join the group on Monday.
The SC extended until Oct. 18 its order temporarily stopping the
burial of Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani to allow the justices to
resolve the case on merits.
Marcos supporters insist the former president was a World War II
veteran, being part of the 14th Infantry Battalion and a guerrilla under
the United States Army Forces in the Far East and the US Army Forces in
the Philippines.
