In a text message to Sun.Star, Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said he “was told he (Lozano) was planning that”.
“It’s not clear if that is an impeachable offense but the Palace has clearly violated the rule on burials for veterans and Presidents,” he added.
Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on the other hand was saddened by the high court decision.
“Nagulat din ako sa balita. Mahirap makamit ang kapayapaan sa Mindanao kung ang Malacañang ang laging magdidikta sa kanila at ayaw silang bigyan ng boses. Malaking pagbigo ito sa ating mga kapatid na Muslim.”
Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., for his part, said he was surprised upon learning the SC’s ruling.
“Mahirap makamit ang kapayapaan sa Mindanao kung ang Malacanang ang laging magdidikta sa kanila at ayaw silang bigyan ng boses. Malaking pagbigo ito sa ating mga kapatid na Muslim,” he said in a text message.
MANILA, Philippines – After voicing his frustration over President Aquino’s final rejection of a hero’s burial for his father, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said he has now put the issue behind him but insisted his father’s successor and the current administration have as much to answer for regarding human rights.
In his response to questions on the issue in social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, Marcos yesterday said it’s now time to move on since there’s no indication the President would change his mind.
Marcos said it’s now time to focus on other matters like working for more financial support for local government units.
SENATOR Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos turned the table on the Aquino administration after the Palace dared their family to apologize for the human rights violations.
“I believe he [Lacierda] has asked us or those in the Marcos government that are still alive (it’s not clear) to apologize to the human rights victims under martial law, but I didn’t hear anyone include the human rights victims during Cory [Aquino’s administration], including the farmers of the infamous Mendiola massacre and all the succeeding administrations including the present one,” Marcos said.
