Burial of Marcos at libingan ng mga bayani

[KE-25]

..and thos who still live in the past, wont move on and succeed!

Im NOT saying na we should forget our past, but lets not make the past the foundation of our decision on todays problem, let the leasons from the past be lessons not foundations of our decisions..

are we a christian country? did the bible tell us and continually teach us to forgive or maybe we read it wrong?
or maybe God wants us to plant hate to somebody for eternity?

DO we allow ourselves to be continually divided even in issues that was resolved a couple of decades ago?
Is hate the foudnation of this country?

hmm.. i smell bunch of hypocrites in here..

and for some reason dri sa istorya.net;
most of us commenting on this thread are on thier 20s and early 30s,
What the heck!!? why is our generation even care about this issue?
let bygones be bygones and we should move on! most of us did not even have the slightest experienced on what happen during those days..

Another good answer .... I'm close to 40 unfortunately .... and was following the news during that time , and I say this ... life isn't perfect and at times it isn't fair, we learn , we move on.. there are other important things needed to make this country better, I would think this isn't in the top of to do list.

I always believe it is up to the individual in making life better for himself and people around. Just a bit of personal responsibility does the trick.

Think of this for a second ... are we any different today?

It really helps not pointing fingers but looking ourselves in the mirror and asking the questions " what have we done to help make this country better " if u can answer that then my thanks to you.

We can forgive the late ex-president marcos but celebrate and honor him by buring him sa Libingan ng mga Bayani That's way out of line.

true. true. The scars left in the hearts of the Filipino people during his regime are too deep to ignore. Wounds can heal (through forgiveness) but the scars will always remain as a constant reminder.

i stumbled upon Solita "Mareng Winnie" Collas-Monsod's article at the Philippine Daily inquirer, and i think it's a good read concerning Marcos.

quite simply, in reply to Bongbong Marcos' reiteration that his father deserves to be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani, she wanted him to answer these questions;

1. Was the torture, disappearance or death of at least 10,000 Filipinos during the course of his father’s martial law regime a service to the country? If so, in what way? Ferdinand Marcos did say, early on, that there was a tradeoff between political freedoms and economic growth—to get more bread, we have to give up some freedom. As we will see in the following, we not only lost our freedom, we lost our bread too.

2. Was the coddling of the military and the financial rewards given them during his regime a service to the country? In what way? Because that “tradition” seems to have been continued all the way up to now, and I still can’t see what benefits have come from it.

3. Was the coddling of certain favored businessmen—the so-called “cronies”—a service to the country? If so, in what way?

4. Was the collapse of the economy in late 1983 a service to the country? If so, in what way? The Philippines was the only country in Asia that succumbed to the international debt crisis. And it took 17 years before the Philippines was able to regain the real per capita income levels we lost during that crisis.

5. Was the accumulation of foreign debt by the Marcos regime a service to the country? If so, in what way? Our external debt to GDP ratio rose from 31 percent in 1971 to 94 percent in 1986—with the debt service claiming one-third of the national government budget and nothing to show for it but a collapsed economy.

the article is worth reading. check it out.
