BBM: Poster boy of ingratitude

On this day eight years ago, then-President Rodrigo Duterte made possible what was then improbable: the burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

His burial at the hallowed grounds had been bitterly and vociferously opposed by the usual collaborators: the Liberal Party, radical Left, mainstream media, and the church. Displaying the political will that marked his leadership — and sorely missing after his term — FPRRD allowed the burial in line with the preparations made by the late strongman’s family.
