What is Why Ferdinand E. Marcos Should Not Be Buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani about?

Mr. Marcos's military record is fraught with myths, factual inconsistencies, and lies. The rule in history is that when a claim is disproven—such as Mr. Marcos's claims about his medals, ranks, and guerrilla unit—it is simply dismissed. When moreover, a historical matter is under question or grave doubt, as expressed in the military records about Mr. Marcos's actions and character as a soldier, the matter may not be established or taken as fact. A doubtful record also does not serve as sound, unassailable basis of historical recognition of any sort, let alone burial in a site intended, as its name suggests, for heroes.For these reasons, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines opposes the plan to bury Mr. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.The Commission undertook this study as part of its mandate to conduct and disseminate historical research and resolve historical controversies (Section 5 and 7, Republic Act No. 10086).
