Senator Risa Hontiveros has asked President Rodrigo Duterte to put a stop to and reject the burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB) in Taguig.
In a privilege speech on Tuesday, the senator directly addressed the president, who is a friend of the Marcos family and is openly known to be in favor of the burial.
“I call on the president to respond to the challenge of history and reject with finality all plans to give Marcos a hero’s burial,” she said.

The senator who also changed her profile picture to black as a sign of protest said she is opposing the burial for the sake of the whole Filipino nation, including the future generations.
“It is not only for the victims of martial law that I rise, for the generation of our parents and for our generation who has lived through the enduring wounds of martial law. I also rise for our younger generations. Those who will only get to listen to the stories of our wounds and who we hope will see in those stories our deeds as truths,” she said.
Hontiveros ended her privilege speech by not pulling her punches and slamming both Marcos and his family.
