Thus, when the lady senator was asked to make a clear stand on the burial issue after it was raised during Poe’s press conference in Tacloban City last Friday, this is what took place:
Poe denied the report that said she’s open to allowing Marcos’ burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani and said in a clarificatory statement: “I have been consistent about this from the very beginning. Former President Ferdinand Marcos deserves to be accorded proper burial.
“As to where, I would like to clarify that I did not state in an earlier interview that I am open to allowing the burial, and I quote the report, ‘wherever that may be,’ and which would naturally include the Libingan ng mga Bayani.”
Is that an Assumptionista answer? Come on now, we can do better than that!
We have witnessed opposing relatives in the Marcos and anti-Marcos camps before, father and children....brothers, sisters cousins.... Some served the dictatorship, while others opposed it. Now Grace Poe has to answer the challenge: does She see Marcos as a hero?
