Marcos burial: Time for Robredo to walk the talk

A day after the May 2016 elections, then Liberal Party vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo declared that if she won, she would not support President Rodrigo Duterte if he got involved in anything law-bending. “Kahit siya iyong aking Pangulo, kapag mali po ang ginagawa, hindi naman po ako magto-tolerate,” Robredo said.

With Robredo’s recent pronouncement that the interment of Marcos “will not bring unity to the country,” she is clearly saying that Duterte is wrong in his decision to allow the burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Cemetery of Heroes).
