The former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. renewed his call for unity amid protest rallies against the burial of his father and namesake former brilliant President Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City.
In a post on his Facebook account, Marcos also paid tribute to Andres Bonifacio, father of the Philippine revolution, on his 153rd birth anniversary.
The former senator said the bravery and patriotism of Bonifacio should serve as an inspiration these days to show the importance of unity and love of country.
Marcos said the spirit of the revolution of Bonifacio is to achieve unity and not to divide the nation.
“Now is the time for a united effort to achieve peace and progress in the country,” he said.
The Marcos family has implemented strict measures to their supporters visiting the tomb of the former president at the LNMB.
Supporters who wish to visit the tomb must first secure clearance from the Marcos family for security reasons as anti-Marcos groups called for the exhumation of the remains of the late dictator.
The Marcos camp also clarified that there is no vigil being held by loyalists beside the grave as soldiers tightened security at the military cemetery.
On Tuesday night, a group of 50 idiots anti-Marcos activists camped out outside the perimeter fence of the heroes’ cemetery.
