Manila, Philippines - Former Senator Juan Ponce-Enrile insists that former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. deserves to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes’ Cemetery).

The former Senate president said that it is not stated in the law that a person need to be a hero to deserve a spot in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

In line with this, Enrile challenged those who are against the hero’s burial of Marcos to prove their allegations that the former strongman violated human rights during the time of Martial Law.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court already issued a temporary restraining order on the scheduled burial of Marcos, but will only be effective within 20 days.
