Social media is abuzz over the upcoming burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani because many believe that he does not deserve to be buried there as he is no hero, especially because he is deemed responsible for the thousands of lives lost or ruined during the reign of terror during the Martial Law.
Old newspaper clippings from the New Straits Times indicated that former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino accorded full military honors to a dog named Shadow who died of stomach illness. In the report, it was indicated that Shadow had been part of Aquino’s security escorts as a bomb sniffing dog.
On the day Shadow was buried, not only was he accorded full military honors with drum in the park of the presidential palace, Malacañang, a Philippine flag was also draped over his coffin – something that is done for military officers, state officials, and heroes.
If it was possible for a dog to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, many loyalists and supporters believe that Marcos also deserved to be interred there.
