DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Philippine President-elect Rod Duterte today issued a clarification to the media regarding his previous announcement that he will allow the burial of Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani (National Heroes Cemetery).
Duterte said he was referring to Ferdinand, Sr.

As Pres. Duterte said “”I was just being legalistic about it. President Marcos was a president for so long, and he was a soldier. So that’s about it. Whether or not he performed worse or better, there is no study, there is no movie about it,”
All accusations against the late dictator, he said, were merely “challenges and allegations of the other side which is not enough.”
The burial does not mean victims of abuses during the Marcos regime have come to a dead end in seeking justice, said the President.
“For those detained so long and suffering we have this option to file the case against the late president Marcos,” said Duterte.
He admitted that he himself had misgivings about his decision to bury the late strongman.
