MANILA, Philippines - The remains of the former President Ferdinand Marcos were buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani at noon on Friday despite indications from petitioners opposed to it that they would appeal a Supreme Court ruling dismissing their petitions.
Rumors of a planned burial spread on social media Friday morning, shortly before the burial was confirmed by Chief Superintendent Oscar Albayalde, NCRPO chief. Albayalde was later seen with Philippine National Police Director General Ronald Dela Rosa at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
The officials said that there are around 2,000 police and military personnel to provide security for the burial.
The burial was planned secretly to avoid protests. The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions asking for it to be blocked. Marcos was buried in area at LNMB reserved for former presidents.
