The Marcoses are back.
There's one in the Senate. One in Congress. One in Ilocos Norte as Governor.
And now the latest news, the majority of the congressmen have approved (?) of the Marcos petition that the body of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos, be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
For sure, this has sparked another outrage from the pro-Aquino camps.
What an irony indeed.
Last 1986, when the Filipinos introduced People Power when they ousted Marcos from the seat of government, it was like euphoria - a testament to the Filipinos' battlecry against dictatorship.
More than 20 years later, the Marcoses are back in power and are inching toward the burial of the late strongman in the Libingan ng Bayani or Heroes' Cemetery at the Fort.
Again, who's to blame?
Will our country look dumber and dumber by ousting a dictator only to bury him in a place reserved for heroes?
The former Senator Saguisag suggested that the place be renamed Libingan ng mga Bayani at mga Pangulo or Cemeteries for the Heroes and Presidents.
What will become of our country? Will we become a laughingstock for being such a paradox?
In the first place, does it really matter if the Marcoses are buried in the land reserved for heroes?
What's in a name anyway?
Am I one of the many who couldn't care less?
If Ninoy and Cory, both considered heroes, are not buried there but just in Manila Memorial Park, a privately owned heritage park, what's the difference if Marcos will be buried in the Heroes' Park?
Shouldn't the people focus on more important matters, more so, our politicians?
Sometimes, I'm sick and tired of these issues between the Aquinos and the Marcoses.
Do they own our country?
Can't we have other or better options to lead our country?
They've had their share and there's not much difference to date.
I wouldn't be surprised if one day, Bongbong Marcos will become president. He has the makings of a president, being a son of the former president, he has the money, the political connections, the bearing and everything that will hypnotize our masses.
And maybe Kris Aquino will be ready to prevent Bongbong from becoming president.
They have made the Philippines their virtual playground. tsk!
