Bince supports FM burial at Libingan ng mga Bayani
SIXTH District Board Member Alfonso Bince Jr., is supporting the burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, considered as the final resting place of heroes of the Philippines.
Bince, who has earned the moniker “eternal board member of Pangasinan” for being the longest-serving in the provincial government, filed a resolution the last week but was not taken up owing to his absence.
If endorsed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, copies of the resolution will be forwarded to President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and Vice President Jejomar Binay.
Marcos, who was removed from the presidency by the People Power EDSA revolt in 1986, died in exile in Hawaii on September 29, 1989 and his remains are preserved in a refrigerated crypt at the family’s mausoleum at the Marcoses’ ancestral hometown of Batac in Ilocos Norte.
The resolution states that allowing Marcos’ family to bury him at the Libingan ng mga Bayani may yet be an instrument for a real and genuine reconciliation between the Marcoses, their supporters and sympathizers and the present administration, thus leading to lasting peace in the country.—LM
